:unsure::arrowhead: I hope he is a tech....

Our landlords REFUSE to get professional help...they hate to spend money.

When we had issues with the drains getting clogged up the husband tried doing it himself and made things worse, they finally called a plumber, but not sure how professional of a company this was, they drove an unmarked van and it took forever to fix.

We have an issue with the shower where if you try taking a bath the shower leaks water, the landlord's son tried fixing it, but he broke the clip that you use to turn on the shower so basically the entire wall needs to be taken down so they can fix it...luckily though they just did something temporary so the shower works.

Section 8 also when making inspections finally made them fix the windows, half of our windows wouldn't open or anything...they sent to son to fix them himself and it took him about a week to get the job done whereas it would have taken a professional less than a day.

There is also an issue with the fridge where it leaks water BIG time, especially in the summer, the inside of the fridge gets really flooded. The son was supposed to fix it but never did.

Plus they make us do the snow removal...which I think is illegal but it's in our lease so I have no clue.

Holy crap...I was just made aware of this but this is absolutely sick and just goes to show you how much energy and how unstable this past system was. Not only did it produce an EF1 tornado in NY but it also produced an EF1 tornado in Baltimore as well as a 100-mph MICROBURST...that is sick for mid-November...

WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS

DETERMINED THAT A TORNADO ESTIMATED AT A CATEGORY 1 ON THE ENHANCED

FUJITA SCALE STRUCK NORTHEAST BALTIMORE DURING THE EARLY MORNING

HOURS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 17TH...WITH ESTIMATED WIND SPEEDS FROM 85

TO 100 MPH.

THE TORNADO WAS FORMED WITHIN A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WHICH SPANNED

FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO NORTH CAROLINA ON WEDNESDAY MORNING NOVEMBER

17TH. THIS LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS RACING TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST

AT 70 MPH AS IT CROSSED THE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON REGION. IT IS

HYPOTHESIZED THAT A STRONG DOWNBURST OF WIND...ALSO KNOWN AS A

REAR-INFLOW JET...DESCENDED FROM APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE HIGH IN THE

ATMOSPHERE DOWN TO THE GROUND...AND BECAME COINCIDENT WITH THE LINE

OF THUNDERSTORMS AS IT MOVED ACROSS THE CITY OF BALTIMORE.

THIS STRONG DOWNBURST OF WIND CAUSED A BREAK IN THE LONG LINE

OF THUNDERSTORMS AND CREATED TWO SEPARATE THUNDERSTORM LINE

SEGMENTS. THE STRONG DOWNBURST OF WIND CONTINUED TO MODIFY

THE THUNDERSTORMS...CREATING A SWIRLING WIND AT THE SOUTH END

OF THE NEWLY FORMED NORTHERN SEGMENT. THE SWIRLING WIND IN

THIS TYPE OF THUNDERSTORM SYSTEM IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS A

BOOKEND VORTEX...AND IT RESULTED IN THE GENERATION OF A BRIEF

EF-1 TORNADO.

THE PATH OF WIND DAMAGE FROM THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT ALSO

PRODUCED THE BRIEF TORNADO STARTED ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF

MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY IN NORTHEAST BALTIMORE CITY AND THEN

CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES TO THE NORTHEAST TO

GUNPOWDER STATE PARK IN BALTIMORE COUNTY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT

THE VAST MAJORITY OF WIND DAMAGE ALONG THE 5 MILE LONG PATH WAS DUE

TO STRAIGHT LINE WINDS FROM THE DESCENDING REAR-INFLOW JET AS IT HIT

THE GROUND...REFERRED TO AS A MACROBURST. EMBEDDED WITHIN THE DAMAGE

PATH OF THIS MACROBURST WERE TWO AREAS OF DAMAGE THAT ARE ASSOCIATED

WITH THE EF-1 TORNADO.

THE DAMAGE FROM THE EF-1 TORNADO WAS IN TWO SEPARATE AREAS A HALF

MILE APART. THE FIRST AREA WAS ONE-TENTH OF A MILE LONG AND 175

YARDS WIDE THAT INCLUDED THE DUTCH VILLAGE APARTMENT COMPLEX. THREE

OF THE UNITS HAD THEIR ROOFS BLOWN OFF. THE ROOFS WERE NOT CLIPPED

TO THE STRUCTURES. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE TREE DAMAGE. SEVERAL CARS

WERE SHIFTED BY THE FORCE OF THE WIND. THE TORNADO LIFTED BRIEFLY.

THEN THE SECOND AREA... APPROXIMATELY A HALF MILE NORTH OF THE FIRST

AREA...WAS ONE-THIRD OF A MILE LONG AND 250 YARDS WIDE...CENTERED ON

THE PERRING PARKWAY SHOPPING CENTER IN PARKVILLE. EVIDENCE OF THE

TORNADO INCLUDED RETAIL PROPERTY SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS WHICH SHOWED

DEBRIS BLOWING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS...TREES AND LIGHT POLES

FALLING IN A CONVERGENT PATTERN...EYEWITNESS REPORTS...AND LEAF

SPATTER ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF AUTOMOBILES AND STRUCTURES.

WITH THE SPEED OF THE STORMS MEASURED AT 70 MPH...ALONG WITH A

DAMAGE PATH OF 5 MILES FROM THE THUNDERSTORM...IT IS

DETERMINED THAT IT TOOK ONLY 4 MINUTES FOR THE MACROBURST TO

ACCOMPLISH ITS 5 MILE PATH OF DAMAGE. WITHIN THIS 4 MINUTE

TIMEFRAME...THE EF-1 TORNADO WAS ON THE GROUND FOR LESS THAN 1

MINUTE.

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA...IN CONJUNCTION

WITH THE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE...ISSUED

Well, I'll tell you what, Messing around with gas when you don't know what you are doing can have some bleak outcomes, It must cost them more when someone trys to fix something only to fuk it up and then end up spending double to get a professional in to repair it, I was in the building trades for a few years and nothing is mor frustrating then trying to figure out what the heck the guy before you was trying to do.......

I sure hope he has the sense to at least call the gas company if he doesn't feel too confident. I'm still alive so something must be doing well.

:lol:

I have my FIRST ever warning, just noticed. I never had a warning on eastern. It's from someone who never even visits the SNE threads so I must have been reported.

Why would you get a warning?

People say some pretty effed up stuff and it is no prob

You are one of the nicer folks here, other than the Miley thing

b/c of a "racial slur" I made in a post last night even know it was jokingly :lol:

No big deal though, just find it funny how it was from someone who I've never even seen in the SNE sub forum.
