First Post!

So it turns out someone dropped the ball during construction of this apartment building, as the balconies are too weak and will require extra support. Pretty sweet. There's already been ugly placeholders for some two months now, and those will stay there until they figure out how to best permanently reinforce it. I got a $50 gift certificate though, so it is totally worth it. Totally.

      The question is, what's the $50 gift certificate for? Rent?

          So they expect you to spend it on some heavy plants, pots and soil to decorate your balcony with then? Not the smartest of people are they.

      At my last place the balcony had a big crack in it and they a long time to get around to replacing it. When they did, i don't think they did a very good job, since you could feel floor under the refrigerator (which was right on top of the support they replaced) sagging really bad.

      I was convinced that some night I was going to come home to a refrigerator-sized hole in my kitchen.
