Sometimes I am guilty of feeling smug when my friends who are still home owners talk about the repairs they are dealing with. Recently I've sympathized with people putting on new roofs, replacing or repairing furnaces, dealing with a refrigerator break down, broken pipes and needing to replace flooring. Since I downsized seven years ago and became a tenant, I have not had to deal with such things. But sometimes, like this week, I still get a taste of it. Last week we received an email notice that roof work would be done, starting Monday, on my building and it might be noisy. Actually, since I'm on the 10th floor and there are three more floors between me and that roof, it wasn't too bad. Today we got another email advising us that they will be power washing the roof tomorrow and we may get some water on our balconies. We shall see. Then, this afternoon we received a text that the laundry room is closed temporarily because of a plumbing problem. This surprised me a little because earlier this year they did a lot of plumbing work before they installed the new washers and dryers. So right now I'm experiencing a little de ja vu, or been there done that if you prefer.
