...Unfortunately it's not one you've exactly been waiting for. It looks like a steroid-popping rat of Schwarzenegger proportions has been chewing through my wall but this is what the plumber/ plasterer/ handyman/ whatever-the-heck-professional-the-landlord-sent did to the wall in my bedroom this afternoon. The other day I found the carpet in there was absolutely soaked through from a leak apparently from the same pipe I'd called them out to before.
Today it turned out the pipe underneath the little white shelf was not the culprit, but an old, now out-of-use pipe inside the wall that had never been sealed. The leak seems to be fine now but it will probably take a few days for my carpet to stop smelling to high Heaven and walking in my bedroom to feel less like trudging barefoot through a quagmire.
The hole will apparently be gone by the end of Monday evening, too, but can anybody tell me, is hammering an old pipe till the opening is closed strictly usual or did today's workman just enjoy battering things?
