Take a bow as the light hits the face

Rabbit, rabbit! For an introduction to the idiosyncracies of our apartment, last night our bathroom cabinet tried to fall off the wall, which is how we discovered it had been hung by people who seem not to have understood several essential concepts about screws and drywall and the distribution of weight, which is how at four in the morning we were taking the heavy mirrored door off its hinges in hopes of it not actually smashing into the sink in the night. It did not and this morning we had a visit from the plumber come to fix a totally unrelated and fortunately uncomplicated issue under the sink. I would find all of this funnier had it not completely deprived me of sleep, but it makes a change from the front steps.

Yikes! I can't help wondering if the constant vibration of the porch repair might have shaken loose such support as the cabinet ever had.

Previous owners are such bozos. I wonder what we are doing that will cause the next occupants to lose sleep and possibly curse us. I hope it's not as bad as the cabinet.

That is actually spatch's theory. We've been complaining about the walls buzzing for weeks.

In this case it is a quite recently installed cabinet, so I blame the owners less than whoever they hired to work on the bathroom, but is it ever not a well-installed cabinet. We found the installation guide and never mind the wall anchors, I don't think a spirit level was involved.
