Trick or Treat? Deluge!

Today is Halloween. I came home from class tonight to find neither a trick nor a treat. I found water pouring out of the ceiling in the hallway.



That's not good, because I live in the basement! Fortunately, my apartment was not that wet -- only the first foot inside the apartment by the door and the kitchen area. My napkins, paper plates, oatmeal, and towels were drenched in water. I called the landlord's maintenance guy and he came over right away. After searching for about 15 minutes and making several phone calls, he was able to get the water cut off. We also discovered the problem -- an upstairs toilet inside the Phobia Life Line had a leak:



My apartment does not really have any damage, but it is inconvenient to have the floor wet but no water in the pipes!

hehe, sounds like a watery Halloween rather than a spooky one;-) Yeah, I could see the water "pouring out" even from the photo--you chose the right words to describe it--I thought the leak of the toilet would only result in dripping of water. Wow, there must have been a lot of water!!
Hehe, you said it wasn't a trick, hehe, who knows? Maybe Elmo came, lost the direction and broke into the house upstairs accidentally and then also broke their toilet, hehehehehe! Kidding, have fun;-)
