The Soggiest Office in All the Land...

...Is suite 1, Woodside House in Eastleigh...

Over the Weekend it rained so much that the already vulnerable ceiling caved in in one of the corners. It is mildly amusing, and worryingly dangerous. I sit about 10 metres away from where the hole in the ceiling is. The central section of the building has already had it's mains electricity disconnected because the wiring is dodgey, and therefore the main store cupboard, full of painters brushes, paint ladders and other equipment, has to be entered with torch in hand.

Today the weather is, frankly, rubbish again and it is now easy to work out how the ceiling tiles came to be so sodden and collapse in. It is basiacally raining indoors, not all that far away from me, and as already mentioned, the wiring in this place is not too hot. Now, the piece de resistance, the water it raining THROUGH the wiring. Oh joy... There are four buckets currently doing a feeble job of collecting some of the water, but the carpet is soaking most of it up... I'm not going anywhere near it.

Everywhere else in the building is totally dry, but I wonder how much worse it has to get before someone sorts it out...

If I never post again, it's because in clicking the 'publish post' button I have been electricuted!

I'm living life on dangerous territory (for writing this post in aforementioned office as well as simply just being here!)

Did you say they were a building company? Not a very good advertisment!

It sounds really dangerous to me! Health and safety does have its plus points from time to time so be careful.
