I am not a good mopper and the truth is, I usually just sweep and spot mop. My kitchen floor has gotten really dirty. There are black scuff marks from our shoes, along with dirt and other stick stuff in certain places. I would typically use bleach and pine sol but that doesn’t seem to take the dirt off the floor good. Maybe I am not mopping hard enough. I used to use a sponge mop. Then I bought a Clorox mop but I think that is just for a routine cleaning, not when the floor is really dirty. I know I need to use hot water, but I am not sure the water that comes out the faucet is hot enough. Do I need to boil it first then add the chemicals and mop (after it’s cool enough to handle)?
I have ammonia, bleach and pine sol at home. Should I add a little dish soap to the water. I just really need ideas on how to get my floor clean!
The walls have smudges, a little part of the wall in the kitchen is warped, part of the island counter wood has spaces, the trim on the bottom is damaged, some of the door knobs has paint on them, the cord outlets are not even, the microwave has tons of fine scratches, same with the stove, some of the door handle locks are broken, the hinges on the doors are painted over, the sink faucet is tons of really small scratches and lines, one of the cabinets have stains in them, the floors creek, the kitchen floor is uneven, when you flick the lights on in the kitchen it takes 3 seconds to come on, and makes this weird crackling noise. The edges on some of the walls are chipped.
It’s nearly four years old, I don’t think it should have these.
We rented this place about a month in a half ago and we have some problems. It’s a duplex and theres people living upstairs.
So right about the time we moved in, we already started getting problems.
The ceiling in the bathroom tends to leak water whenever the people upstairs shower or use the water and we called the landlord and he sent his father in law who I guess fixes things and put in a new ceiling on it, and it looks very sloppy but we dealt with it.
AND still to this day it leaks, and when we called about it, the landlord will tell us he will handle it and called his father in law again to fix it, but he never showed up.
THEN this morning, I wakeup to my parents yammering and I walk out my room and my parents have buckets in the kitchen because the people upstairs have 5 kids, there ALWAYS running around and I guess one of them left the faucet on upstairs which explains the water.
My dad went upstairs to ask why is there water in his kitchen and the woman replies with a laugh and said my kid left the faucet on and thats it. She didn’t even yell at her kids or anything but I don’t care because we don’t need to come to her for our problems anyway.
I’m getting REAL sick of this place. It was poorly painted, theres only heat in the living room and the ceiling is ready to fall on us.
Should I take this problem to the landlord or just call the city?
Any other options?
where do I begin…part of this is venting and part of this is to hear of other experiences/results or opinions from someone in the field. I appreciate all the time it takes to read through and any input! Thank you!
On May 24th at 11am I was sitting in my Pittsburgh 2nd floor apartment when my fiancé and I began to hear water trickling in our bathroom. When we entered we found that where there had previously been an old water leak stain on the ceiling there was now a steady stream of water coursing down our walls. Which turned into a waterfall that literally flowed out of our ceiling and into the next room which is the kitchen. During this time we were attempting to remove our belongings from the path of destruction with little avail. 12 ceiling tiles burst causing roughly 1/2 to 1" of water to well up in our bathroom, kitchen, and about 1/4 of our adjoining living room.
The neighbor directly above us ran down stairs saying that as his wife turned off the faucet in their bathroom sink the handle flew off, spraying her with hot water. As they reached below to turn off the pipe, it also burst thereby flooding our entire apartment below them.
The landlord never returned our call in spite of the emergency but we did track down the maintenance worker. He did little more than walking upstairs to our apartments, saying F*&k a lot, and reassured us that when we returned from our two day trip all would be fixed.
We arrived home on the 27th of May we found that our apartment had not been TOUCHED. For the three days we were gone water had set-in the apartment and no windows we opened. The stench was horrible and as soon as I walked in my fiancé got a migraine from the mold that had been flushed out from behind the walls.
We immediately went downstairs to confront the landlord and found that he had not even BEEN in the apartment for three days he just let it sit.
In his vain attempt to appease us he insisted that we would be reimbursed for our losses in front of several witnesses and also in a voicemail.
The insurance men came and told the landlord everything needed to be replaced. There is mold crawling throughout the walls and floors and water had set stagnant for days.
So…for one month my fiancé and I were without a bathroom sink, ceiling, and floor. The "floor" consisted of literally rotten black water logged wood. This scenario was the same in the kitchen and 1/4 of the living room.
We attempted to cook in the kitchen a few times during this month but each time anything moved or the people upstairs walked across their floor we would have flakes of drywall, mold, rotten insulation fall into our food and throughout our kitchen.
One month went by with NO work to our apartment, and then within a week they had hired a maintenance man to come in and "cover up" the problem. However we have had 3 separate leaks since then. But our landlord is trying to say that it is fixed??
At any rate after their shoddy work, lack of work, and the poor integrity of this building we have decided to move out, we gave the landlord notice of our July1 moving date 6 days ago.
Although our last lease was month to month, we haven’t signed one since April, and we haven’t paid rent for June the landlord is trying to say we owe for not giving notice (Although he agrees we shouldn’t pay for the time our apartment was not fixed(May24th-Jun19th)
How can we give notice to a problem that was beyond our control? And we are not on a lease, and even if we were there is clause in the lease which states that if the apartment is damaged or could cause harm to others the tenant has the right to end the lease and move.
How can he think he’s getting away with this? What can I do?

Here’s My Kitchen sink model: http://www.pricepfister.com/Support/Faq/50160000000IGXcAAO.aspx
2 weeks ago my kitchen sink started leaking from the top of the handle on the hot water pipe. So, as suggested by Price Pfister, I replaced the cartridge. However, that did not stop the leak. It still leaks from the hot water pipe near the top of the handle. Furthermore, I am having a hard time removing the whole handle due to pipes and disposal in the way. Should I just replace the whole faucet system?
Repair Moen Salora 7570 single handle kitchen faucet for leaks cartridge replacement and broken plastic hinge. A broken plastic hinge will mean you cannot turn the water off from the handle.
Here’s a detailed plan of how I tried to make my sprinkler heads pop up. See if you notice anything I ‘missed’:
I turned on the main valve in the basement. Then I went and turned all stations on so I could see if any heads popped up. I then went to the irrigation valve box, and turned all the valves on; so that they loosened up the more I turned them.
On the water thing (no idea what it is called) above and to the right of the faucet for my hose, there are two handles. One on the right, and one on the left. I turned the one on the left so it was open, and water began to gush out of two holes beside it. I put the caps on the holes, and it then began to just leak.
I then began to notice that the sprinkler heads were getting water (as it was leaking out between the cap and the nozzle. But none popped. I think it might be because there’s not enough pressure.
From here on out I experimented, trying every variable I could think of. I turned the right handle, and water began to spray even more, even with the caps on. Nothing really changed with the sprinkler heads, if it even did. If it did, it might have just stopped leaking water, or continued a little more/leaked less.
Grabbing a knife from the kitchen, I ‘forced’ a sprinkler head up to see if water was spraying out of the nozzle, and it was. However, there was so much pressure pulling it down that whenever I let it go, it shot back into the earth. I’m not sure why pressure is "lowering" the heads, when it should be "elevating" the heads.
After opening and closing valves and handles, and running back and forth for twenty minutes, I finally gave up. I’m thinking of just calling a pro, but don’t want to spend a great deal on labor. Can anyone, ‘anyone’ please tell me where I’m going wrong here? Thanks.
The thing I need to unscrew is under my kitchen sink. The whole faucet moves around and I can see from underneath the hole that the hot and cold water handles are going through, so the putty is free of the under part of the sink. I just am not able to unscrew it (with my hand) because I think the putty is probably in the threads. Is there any way, like a chemical or something, that would loosen this up? Or do I need to go buy some type of tool.
LOL…sorry, I’m very sleepy…I meant "plumbers putty between the threads". yawn…
