The shower turns off, the shower turns on.

I’m just about to leave to head out in the morning, and stop in at the facilities. Gee, the bathroom’s all steamed up. At this stage in life, my current state of hearing doesn’t allow for the detection of running water. Makes for an interesting sensation when showering, washing things, or in the rain. I poke into the shower for a look see, and the water is on full force. I push the faucet back in, and turn it off. 20 minutes later, I go check again. Sure enough, it is back on. Time to call the plumber. Plumber arrives, and says valve replacement is needed. He leaves after getting it to turn off, and he finally hears back from the management. He had called them because the turnoff isolation for that bathroom would have fallen apart if he tried to do it, and in order to change a valve, there’s some work needed in the wall. Yep, nothing like when you own, and the good old differentiation of what is whose responsibility. It all hinges on what’s on what side of the wall. Hmmmm. Did I say hinges?? Aah yes. That’s another one I have to get fine tuned on the front door. Well, (no, not a water well with a bucket), but well, Tuesday maintenance will be by to do what they must do. I’ll stay away from that shower til it is fixed. At least I have 2 bathrooms, so can still use soap!! I was all set for folks to bring over a beachball, swimfins, and of course, the always-useful waterwings!!
