- In the clip, Aliena sees a protruding piece of wood that is supposedly covering a hole. She mentions that it’s falling off, and as she takes the piece of wood off the wall, it shows a small hole in the wall. “Landlord special times 300, like what?” she said. […] ¶ “They used a cutting board to fill up this hole,” Aliena says.
