Another one bites the dust on the Life To-Do List!
It’s amazing how much a maintenance man can incite change! Especially a gray-haired, half-toothless Israeli one named Jerry.
I live in a duplex, you see. And for years now the apartment below has attempted to get the attention of the landlord to explain that our shower/tub combo (situated directly above their bathroom) has leaked. A string of adjustments have been made slowly but surely over the years, but to no avail. The leak persists. That is, until the ceiling caved. Well… it more or less just started peeling apart.
Alas, our duplex is FINALLY getting some attention from the landlord. We are getting new shower fixtures, he is fixing the gap between the moulding and the floor, and making sure that all the faucets easily close. We even got new back steps!
This productive sense of renewal in the apartment incited my desire to handle #34 on my list: Host a roommate discussion about how we can be more environmentally mindful in our apartment. So today, my roomies and I sat down to have a group discussion about going Green!
We decided to enlist Jerry the maintenance man in some of the options, particularly with fixing the faucets in both bathrooms so that they don’t drip and don’t take the full force of an elephant to close properly. We are also going to be more mindful about turning off lights, unplugging our chargers when not in use, and waiting until we have a full load of laundry.
