This is a first... But first some background information. A new resident came in let’s call her Maria, she’s an international employee at a hotel chain and moved into an apartment with a den. The den would great as a closet or an office but being as the building was cut many years ago the wall is un- even so making this a bedroom could make it a little hard to set-up..
Anyway she comes in after she and her friend are approved and asks for my help. She asks if I can help her, “Cut my mattress so that it will fit in the room” I humor her for a moment and ask her to show me what the problem is. I walk up to the unit and see a mattress smooshed up against the wall and sliding the closet doors. She then asks me “Do have scissors or a knife” I look at her confused as I thought she was kidding and say “uh no... That is not possible and is not going to work”. I suggest getting a smaller mattress, or switching rooms with her room-mate that has a smaller bed!
She looks at me in disbelief and stops the maint tech and asks him to chop the sides off with a saw. He breaks it down for her and explains why it would not work and tells her if he cut it the mattress would fall apart and attempted to explain the concept of metal springs.
I see her later on at the pool sunbathing say hello and walk to my office. She knocks on my door to then ask me if I have any good music or reading material for her.
Wow and Wow...
I managed to take a picture with the empty room but not one with the mattress... Yet!
