Leaking Faucet

Hi Cat,

No Cat, not yet. They know about the kitchen faucet, but waiting for them to come fix that. The bathtub faucet I just told them about. That was like that when I moved into this room, but never complain about it, because I use the shower. I brought it up now because this kitchen faucet should have been replaced long ago (7 months) At that time I did not know that the water was leaking to the bottom of the sink. About a month ago, I open the door to the bottom of the sink and noticed the water. Every time I run the water even without turning the nozzle, it will leak to the bottom of the sink. It will dry out when I don't use the water.

I agree with Foxy.

Update...talked to the manager. The plumber should be coming back today to finish the job.

This can affect the client above you too.  If enough water leaks, the ceiling might come down!

This one was on my kitchen wall.

Thanks Cat,
I did hear about the steel wool. I also saw something on TV about this Gorilla foam. I guess it is like a spray foam to seal the holes. Don't know how much it would cost.

This is the stuff here Cat. Amazon has it. You can get two cans of it for $15.00 But like you said the steel wool would be cheaper.

i think steel wool should fix that problem easily.  I know it did for me all those years ago. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to use both?  Maybe cram the steel wool in first and then apply the foam?  I don't trust that Gorilla brand much.  They make a super glue I used and after a little bit things just kept letting go.  So I ued my trusty Crazy Glue.  We bought the Gorilla Super Glue because it was cheaper, but if it doesn't work, then is it really cheaper?  So, it's Crazy Glue for us.

I used to have these roaches under control at one time Cat. They were deducting $20.00 a month from the rent to spray the room myself with the previous owners. BUT that STOP when the new owner took over. They will pay for the bug spray, but I always have to get it. grrrrrr I am no longer getting paid to spray the room myself. They have to patch the holes before I leave for 4 hours. My room needs other repairs too. Also the former wanna be manager who is still living here "SLANDERED MY NAME AND THE REGISTER SEX OFFENDERS that are here before she decided to fall in love with one of them. Also my name got SLANDERED from a former housekeeper that used to live here. She left because of the roaches and I got blame for that because this former employee gave me the number to the board of health. The employees of the motel call the Board of Health first. This SAME EMPLOYEE was also drinking and driving under the influence of beer using another tenants Jeep.. Another housekeeper that use to be here told me she did not even have a drivers license. She did stop driving later on but her boyfriend continue to drink and drive until they both left here. She also had a bad habit of rolling her eyes at the tenants she did not like to point them out if I or anyone did not know them. She would even go on to tell other tenants if she did not like someone. And she works for the motel. Her and her boyfriend would always have fights with the other tenants. The owners never did anything about it. Two previous owners. I did make a complaint to the original owners wife about this, but she look at me with glassy eyes and like I was an alien from another planet. Nothing got done about it to stop these employees from drinking and driving and causing fights with the other tenants.

The reason I think the original owners wife did not do anything about it was this...

This same bad housekeeper told me when I was smoking weed with her that the owners wife goes to the casinos to gamble money and even told me that she had a accident with her car because the owners wife has a drinking issue. The reason she told me this was, because I made a statement about the owner being cheap in making repairs to the rooms. Another words, if they have money to gamble, than they have the money for the repairs. That was the point that this bad housekeeper was trying to make.

Also at the beginning when I got here....this same housekeeper had a fight with the other housekeeper here and the South Glens Falls police were here. Also this same housekeeper was going around and telling other tenants that the other housekeeper did not clean the room that good. My thoughts on that were that is not your issue. The owners have a say about it if a housekeeper is not doing her job properly. Not another employee that does not have that authority.

Cat when I first move to this motel long ago the motel manager at the time stole my rent money I gave her from the owners. The owners nephew called me into the office to look at my rent receipt. The manager did not sign her name on the bottom of the rent receipt like she normally does but did fill out the other information like my name, room number the amount of the rent. After I left the office, the following day, the nephew called me back into the office and this time the owners wife look at my rent receipt. This same manager even had the nerve to called my room and asked me for a loan of $50.00. I did not have it at the time, because I came here from a place that

I was addicted to CRACK COCAINE 



If I had the money I would have given it to her. About a week later this former motel manager left the motel with her husband who by the way had a job and also did work for the motel as a maintenance worker. Go figure as to why she would even ask me for money or even rob the owners. The owners nephew told me this former manager had a lot of money. She was working in the office here and getting government benefits as well and compensation for working here, and like I said earlier her husband had a real job on the outside and also work as maintenance at this motel.

Big hugs Rich.  Are you able to move to somewhere else?  Sounds to me like that motel is not the best place to be - emotionally or physically.

At Walmart, they sell this yellow sponge foam whose purpose is to sit on top of a bed mattress. The sell it to make beds softer and you would find it in the beddng section.  Maybe this might help.  It is not super expensive.  I used to get it for hubby and me at one time.
