I have a new ceiling.

That's about the most exciting thing that happened to me today.  Actually the process has been going on for a few days.  Last week I noticed that the ceiling in my guest bathroom, right above the toilet, had a water spot.  The position suggested to me that a toilet in the apartment directly above mine might be leaking.  Turns out I was right.  A maintenance man came (they respond quickly to calls about leaks) ran up and down from my apartment to the one above, cut a neat square hole (about 3x3 feet) in my bathroom ceiling, fixed the leaky pipe and sealing ring and then patched the hole.  That's the part that took time.  But after three days of sporadic work on patching, caulking, smoothing, sanding and finally painting, I have a new ceiling.  Well, technically, it's just a new section of ceiling, but it certainly looks better than it did.  Just in time for company tomorrow.
