Pig Sty - the definition of "pig sty" is "an enclosure for pigs" or "a filthy place." My adventure today was in just such a pig sty. However, this enclosure wasn't for pigs, it was for a particular Section 8 tenant, who keeps her place in a condition that isn't fit for pigs. This tenant has lived in this apartment for many years and her choice is to live in filthy conditions. She has two dogs and there is constantly dog feces on the floor. She is a packrat and the place is filled to the rafters with junk. Despite my repeated requests, she simply will not keep the place clean.
Section 8 has no problem with the filthy conditions. A tenant apparently has the right to be filthy. However, they do not have the right to have sagging ceiling tiles. Therefore, I spent a couple of hours today wiring up sagging ceiling tiles and replacing damaged ceiling tiles. Due to the constant smoking in the apartment, the ceiling looked like a jigsaw puzzle when I was finished. Several brand new white ceiling tiles mixed in with a bunch of dark, dingy, smoke-stained tiles. I would be happy to change all the tiles and really improve the apartment if the tenant would just keep the place clean!
That's it for today! Pig Sty with a beautiful jigsaw ceiling!
