Just when I thought this renovation couldn't get anymore absurd, this morning the 100 year old main waste pipe for the entire house snapped and flooded the basement. Luckily it was just shower water. I called the plumbers at 7:15 and they're here at 9, and guess what they found? A basket of porcelin dollies with no eyes right under the leak. The electricity also seems to be disconnected on the third floor, where the carpenters are... it seems the house is haunted by a ghost with a Kafka-esque sense of humor.UPDATE: 12:08PM They finished fixing the pipe and ran the water through it to test for leaks and THEY FOUND ANOTHER ONE!!! This one, further up along the pipe, didn't leak before apparently because the water poured out of the other leak so fast it didn't back up far enough to leak through the other hole. The 100 year old pipe strikes again... or is there a ghost?
