In the meantime, cold weather woes continue, and dropping a grocery sack with bread that turned out to have eggs on the bottom have stressed me to a frazzled. The bread – OK; the eggs – three broken and leaked on my clothes, muffler, and stupidly carpeted kitchen floor.
Maintenance was contacted. Ben, the maintenance guy for the units, established what needed to be done: replace the faucet and create a shut-off for faucet inside my apartment.
Till he did that, repairing a simple leak like this one would have required shutting all water off for the lane if I understood him correctly. Anyway, it was a tedious, pain in the butt, cold weather repair that inconvenienced a lot of people.
