unfortunately in my apartment. (Well, not anymore, as this is a post from Tuesday that I couldn't get the pictures to work on.) We have been battling leaks around our windows for years (supposedly it's coming in through the bricks of the building), and numerous companies have been called in; they set up scaffolding, bang around on the side of the building for a few days, declare the job completed, charge the building many thousands of dollars, and are on their merry way. And then it rains again, (it has to be a rain with hard winds, and since we are so close to the coast and tall, these are not infrequent), and my windowsill once again looks like this. It drips in weird places around the top of the window frames, and then the drips splash onto our window seat, hence the myriad of towels and containers.
Now it's finally dried out, and I've washed all the soggy towels, and put back my curtains and the cushion for the window seat. The wood surrounding all my windows is totally trashed, but our building will take care of that once they tell us that the outside is, once again, fixed. I'm
sure it will work this time.....

Wow. That sounds familiar.
We have this happen at the office too. There was a really clever answer that the building maintenance man gave me as to why it ALWAYS happens, but I can't remember what it was!
