Boardman Ohio (USA)
So i finally have internet again... And I am sad to post this story on here...
I live on the top floor of some really nice apartments in Boardman OH. They were doing some roof work and new siding and new windows on every building in the complex. So they get to my roof, and woulndt you know it but water starts shooting out of my light fixtures! It felt like i was tripping out or something and clocks were gona start melting!!!! So im playing XBL w some friends and i tell them i gotta jet. I run outside and tell the workers. come back inside to find that one of their LEGS fell thru my bedroom ceiling! LAME! Now water is pouring all over my amazingly sweet bed! ARGH! To make things worse, water started pouring on my 52" flat screen LCD tv and all my surround sound stuff!!! BLAGH! So i superman pull it out of the way... Suddenly, the entire ceiling caves in! OH NO! i had a ten foot hole in my living room, and in my dining room... and a 3 foot hole above my bed. So there i stand looking at the sky...
To make life worse get this, A piece of the ceiling cracks the top of my piranha tank!!!! about a 7" crack!!!!!! AND my 15 gallon feeder tank got a ton of insulation in it and the fish in it died :( now i know they were feeders in the first place but i was reallllly pissed... Afterwards i had like fifteen people in my place trying to clean up the mess (viedo comming soon, i recorded EVERTHING) so my Piranhas are TERRIFIED and swimming frantically from side to side! I felt so bad for them! So i threw a thick sheet over the tank so it was nice and dark for them and they coulndt see all the comotion to be stressed out from.... I still havent taken it off... Every time i try to even more the sheet i can hear gravel being kicked up because they are swimming so frantically! I just feel terrible and on top of everything my place is a total MESS. at least im gona be getting a nice fat compensation check for all this BS...
Just wanted to come on here to vent because no one seems to understand why I am more upset about my fish and them being all in a tizzy more than my entire place being in dissaray. Thanks for listening to me blow off some well needed steam.
 
Dude that sucks! I can't even imagine the incoherent words being utterer from my mouth if that happened to me. I hope they pay you not just for the stuff that needs to be replaced, but extra for the major inconvenience for you and the trouble it caused. I hope everything gets fixed quickly! And hey at least its not winter....
 
Wow sorry to hear that. Take care if your fish and make darn sure they pay for all the trouble.
 
pics so we can better understand what your going through
 
WOW - that sucks =/ . I can understand you being more worried about the fish than all the stuff that got destroyed -- the stuff is replaceable, and they are going to pay to replace it -- but the fish you are all attached to n' stuff
 
That really sucks. My friend had a similar experience as work was being done to his house. The guy was doing some work in the room right next to his fish room and the guy being the idiot he is wasnt aware of what was in the next room when he put a large drill through both walls and his 180 gallon tank which housed a ray, a royal clown knife, and a silver aro. The drill went through just far enough to tap the glass and put a softball sized star crack in the tank. The guy didnt know what he hit until he saw water coming into the room. My friend was mad and thats just a nice word for it. But the tank only leaked about 8 inches down but thats alot of water still. The company the guy worked for gave hoim a check for the loss and 2 weeks later he found a 210 gallon and got that. They should fix what they did
 
Does anyone else see a early christmas of insurance! and I noticed you live in Ohio I live in salem Ohio
