Spooky's Desk
Spooky,
Sorry to hear about the water damage... You sounded like you really like that desk, so I thought I would offer some advice. I do a good deal of woodworking and it sounds like (from your description) the desk is not a total loss. The roughness you described is normal for unsealed wood that gets wet. Possible Easy Fix: Depending on how much of the grain has raised, you may be able to just run steel wool or an abrasive sponge over the wood and not even bother with re-finishing. Though you may want to put a sealer (polyurethane or shellac) to prevent damage in the future. Little More Work: If that doesn't work (maybe the grain raised too much), you could run some very fine sandpaper over the desk (following the grain) and re-finish it. You may not want to put that much work in to it, but thought I'd share anyway. |

My husband and I have both talked to her separatly about this. We have even told her that she broke one of our clocks and damaged one of my husband's paintings with her slamming the door. She just stares. Also my husband is allergic to dogs and he's asked her not to let the dog jump all over him. She just stares and continues to do it. I doubt that telling her I'm pregnant with all kinds of risks will do jack shit unfortunatly. My husband and I will probably just have to have loud sex since our apartment is right above hers, with the same floor plan. And the threatening letters of course. We have heard her talking to someone about how she hates it here and wants to leave. I hope to god its true... |

As hilarious as it is that me questioning your heroic efforts with the Asain dude gets you so amped up, you still haven't answered my question.
If you, Keith Malley, are not at all a pussy and you're all 100% man, why take on a killer with a hunting knife and NOT help an old man that's hit by a car and left for dead? They are both scenarios brought up by you but there seems to be a contradiction to your heroic attitute. |

Physically Fit but a Fiscal Slob
Sorry to hear about the water damage. More sorry to hear you didn't own a tenant homeowners (renters) policy. Not only would it have covered the water damage, but it would pay to rent you a hotel room, eat out, etc., while the work was being done (and Keith's Dad would tell you these things are CHEAP)!
As far as this specific loss, there may be a remedy for you under your landlords general liability policy due to his apparent "negligent entrustment" of the property to his clearly irresponsible designee. Find out which company/agency carries his coverage and file a claim. You have one for sure. Good luck (and go buy that stinking renters policy...TODAY)! |
