Boy was he slick at telling us what we wanted to hear.Then he got in office and did the OPPOSITE of what he promised, and continues to do so on many occasions.

Also, IF you can effectively coordinate it, just having all faucets turned off and checking the water meter for movement can give you a good indication.Also, check for tenants running a laundry service out of their own unit or by using the buildings laundry facility, there could be excessive usage...same goes for car washing. some people will do anything for a buck!

What was he thinking?

I plan to go back in a few minutes to work--paint two closets, and the front door, wash other doors, see about washing the grout in the floor. ofgift

If there was any water problem, the underlying ground would/could be washed away.

If you do not have city services then you may have a drain to the septic tank that is partially clogged by washing detergent.

Could be a wash anyway and they'd be happy.

Josh, sorry you had this problem.From the pictures,it looks like the tannins from the leaves stained the concrete.If you just stain the concrete the problem areas will just become highlighted.Here are some suggestions:1.Try to power wash the stains.2.Use a primer to cover the stains & then paint,not stain.3.

All is not lost, 2010 may be washed out, but I fully intend to be back by 2011 and maybe even operating at a higher level than before!!!!

The washing machine draining into the floor and not through a standpipe might be a code violation/health concern and certainly should be assessed by a plumber.
