As mentioned in a previous entry, we had a bit of a flooding problem a few weeks ago. After 4 days of hotel living, we were able to get our electricity and water turned on and moved back into our apartment. The wooden floors were quite warped, but after repeatedly voicing how grateful we were to be renters and not owners of not only the apartment, but also all the furniture, we sorted through the mess and moved on. 
While on vacation, we received an email from our landlord informing us that they had found 6cm. of water between the concrete foundation and the wooden floor leftover from the flood. They had taken the liberty of moving all of our furniture and personal belongings to the balconies and covered them with a tarp (note our things under the red tarp on the balcony-not the most settling news considering it's typhoon season) so they could rip up and replace the floor. They were nice enough to put us up in an apartment within our complex for the remaining 2 weeks after we returned from vacation, and we did manage to sneak into our apartment to grab some work clothes to supplement our vacation attire.
As you can see by the pictures, our place is a mess. The workers have moved in to the apartment, and we had to laugh when we saw them smoking like chimneys as they laid down the wooden slats, drilling them into the concrete. We can only hope that the noise is irritating Tiffany's nemesis next door... The workers are leaving a healthy dose of cigarette butts between the slats, something we're sure will be left there underneath the floor providing us with kind of a built in air freshening system. We look forward to moving back in to our apartment, and again, cannot count how many times we've said 'thank goodness we're just renters'!
