Long story that I'll try to make short.
My wife and I rent a house, and the air handler in the attic went out two weeks ago. We notified the owner and he hired a local hvac company to install a new one. We went a week without a/c with 100°+ temps outside before it got fixed last Monday. Fast forward to today, and my wife and I come home after spending three days at the lake to find water falling from the ceiling directly onto our new $2,000 reclining leather sofa. The sofa is soaked completely through, the area rug beneath it is completely soaked, and the hardwood flooring is starting to buckle. I went up into the attic to figure out the cause, and find this:

The ass hats who installed the air handler didn't finish plumbing the condensation pan, so the water was just falling on the press board beneath the air handler instead of draining to the outside of the house. After the better part of a week the water eventually soaked through the press board and insulation, and then finally through the sheet rock ceiling.
I ended up going to Lowe's and bought the PVC pieces and glue to finish the job that should have been done. Needless to say, our landlord is going to be getting an earful as soon as he responds to our calls.
