Well, the leaks have slowed, at least. We've moved almost all the furniture out of the bedroom. We pulled the leaves from the dining room table, moved the computer desk out to the dining room, shlepped our mattress and all of the pictures and electronics and most of the textiles out of the bedroom. We'll be sleeping on the futon, since one of the leaks is directly over the bed. We've lost a track light. The ceiling is starting to ooze a substance not unlike Coca Cola. I'm afraid fixing this is going to involve ripping out a wall and the ceiling.

Good lord.

The super and the landlord's handyman were by this morning, and they're saying they should be able to replace the sheetrock and repaint the walls this week. If we can move everything back in and the room is useable again within a week, then I'm not going to bother negotiating over rent--that's "best efforts". If this starts dragging on, then yes, getting compensated for the space we can't use will be brought up.
