Apartment Life #409

 
This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 27 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 27 years here in a weekly blog post.

These tiny wild flowers are popping up all over my street. After changing some things on my camera I was able to get a pretty good picture of them. They are tiny but cute. 

I spotted this ugly car across the street. 

What color is that? Flat periwinkle? Terrible. 

Maintenance drained our pool and they're filling it in with dirt. 

It took about a week, at least they put caution tape around the empty pool to warn people.

Almost filled.

Later this day they had the pool completely filled in with dirt. I guess we'll see what happens now. 

If they actually do anything with this, I'll let you know.


My new neighbor that just moved in a week ago into Xavier's (missing man) apartment, already is getting complaints against him from residents. The first complaint was all the noise all night long out in the alley. He and all his friends and girlfriends stay up all night yelling and screaming at each other. The manager gave them a noise warning. 

Then my daughter's best friend sent me this video she took of the guy's dog out offleash again. He has a big pitbull, which we aren't allowed to have that breed dog here per our lease.  The dog was running all over the courtyard. My friend had just gotten home and she couldn't open her door because she has 2 cats and was afraid the dog would run in her house or the cats would run out. The manager gave our friend her personal cell phone number and told her to call her if they were making noise in the alley at night again. So, she sent this video to the manager and the very next day, the manager put another notice on the guy's door.

On Wednesday I noticed one of the old spigots that still had some of the old hardware from when we had sprinklers here was turned on and broken and water was shooting 20 feet in the air.

The water was shooting up in the air and over the roof of the office. It got turned off and fixed eventually.


The high this week was 59F/15C
The low this week was 36F/2C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

  1. I never saw a purple Cybertruck and never hoped to see one, but.....

    Sounds like they should have put your new neighbor and his friends at the bottom of the swimming pool before filling it with dirt.

    Sounds like your new management is a huge improvement. The acid test will come if the new guy keeps on making so much noise -- what will they do about it? The leashless pit bull is alarming.

  2. Well you certainly had a busy week in your neighborhood. What I'm wondering is are they going to top off that swimming pool dirt with just rocks or would they be nice and actually plant something. Too bad about you new neighbor being so noisy.
