Tone Matters. Use It Well.
Apartment Update:
The leaky pipe repair went through well; the commercial dehumidifier has been on most of the past several days and evenings, piping out modest heat (currently 68°F/20°C) and removing moisture that had collected in the wood framing and walls. The humidity indicates that its at 37%, though when one shuts off the dehumidifier and allows the room to stabilize, my room hygrometer reads about 44 to 46%.
Apartment management visited this morning and checked the wood framing (and stated that the wood was still wet), so at least a couple more days of dehumidifying until apartment management is satisfied that the risk for mold of mildew formation will have passed. Also, so additional repairs can be made (installation of wallboard and spackle, as well as painting over where the leaking water had stained the ceiling.
