When we moved into our new place we discovered that our toilet leaked about half a cup of water every time you flushed it. That has been fixed.
Now, Wednesday the dishwasher backed up into the sink. The dishwasher discharges into the garbage disposal (who knew?). Well the garbage disposal isn't working, and now the sink isn't draining. Yesterday I had to wash a few dishes, and I figured the sink would slowly drain out.
Turns out the sink did slowly drained... back into the dishwasher. This then leaked over the kitchen floor. I decided to stick my hand in the sink drain and see what I could find. I pulled out what I think was dried/soggy paint. It was white and rubbery, like dried but damp paint gets. That'd explain the non-functionality. Painted gummed up in the garbage disposal... fantastic!
We've had the place technically since early November, but we've only lived in it for a week. The Thanksgiving holiday pushed reporting the latest problem out even further, I don't want them to think we broke this stuff!
The nice thing about renting is the repairs though. All I have to do is make a phone call and someone comes and fixes it, at no cost and no hastle to me. I'm gonna miss that when I get a house.
