That sucks dude. Time to check the condensor on the fridge.

At my new shop, the drip pans under every single heater froze during the big chill and the safety switches froze closed so every store in the building lost heat for two days. The bright side is that youre warm!

We had a pipe burst in my basement about a year ago. The entire thing was covered in a foot of water. It sucked. So, I feel ya

That took out the ceiling in a hallway and bathroom? That does suck, sorry to hear it. Are repairing it yourself? Drywall is easy enough to replace, and the plumbing is potentially easy depending on location of said pipe.

About six months ago my girlfriend came over to my apartment to spend the night, as often happens. She's a bit of a light sleeper so we often find a favorite youtube video entitled "rain sounds:10 hours" turn it on and then turn out the lights and sleep.

At roughly three in the morning I was awoken by my girlfriends sleepy sounding voice "it's raining" she said. "Whhzz?" I replied. It was then that I noticed she was standing up in my living room. "It's raining" she said again. More awake now I replied "no we put on the rain sounds, remember?"

"No. It's raining INSIDE your apartment"

This got my attention. I turned on the light and looked over at where she was standing. Indeed, water was coming at a not at insignificant rate through my ceiling and loudly dripping onto a graphic novel that was sitting on the counter.

Now I've never met my upstairs neighbor, but I supposed it was time to do so. When I knocked on her door, there was of course, no response. But fuuuuuuck...my place was filling up with water. So I knocked louder, and didn't stop until she yelled at me through the door.

"What do you want?" She said roughly. What the fuck did this bitch think I wanted? There's obviously water all over her fucking floor if there's enough to rain on my apartment.

"Please turn off your water, it's leaking" I replied.

"What?" I almost lost it right here. Who is she trying to kid?

"My apartment. You know, below yours? The one you're leaking water on?"

"Oh. Must be the ice machine" this response baffled 3am me. It was not ice coming through my ceiling, I was sure of it and there did appear to be bumping sounds coming from inside her apartment so maybe she was actually doing something. Confused though I was, I headed downstairs to see if there was any change.

Success! The ceiling had stopped peeing!

And that sir, is how I learned ice machine breakage is bad news for downstairs.
