Patch and Paint

I just returned from a full 2.5 weeks away. The trip is a whole other story, but the question on everyone's mind (ok, it was probably only on mine, but it was there pretty regularly) was "what did they do to my bathroom while I was away?"

I figured there were two realistic possibilties: they either did nothing, or they patched and painted. I would have been floored with shock had I returned to a re-drywalled (ie properly fixed) bathroom.

Well, they patched and painted. Filled in the gaping mold filled holes, and slapped on a coat of paint. It looks better, I'll admit. But it doesn't change the fact that the walls are full of mold.

And it doesn't change the fact that I'm OUT of here.

Wish me luck fighting for my damage deposit back, because I'll be leaving without giving proper notice. Like, within a week. 

And if you ever find yourself renting in Vancouver, do yourself a favour and avoid Kitsilano Management at all costs.
