we got into our place on the 3rd. The electric hadn't been turned on in the house, the lawn wasn't mowed, the outside wasn't pressure washed, and the inside hadn't been cleaned.....yeah, are you starting to get a picture of how our week has gone so far? We get inside....the toilets won't fill up with water, and all three sink faucets are leaking....the AC is barely blowing into the vents.... I called the Realtor (we're renting BTW) and told him about the problems. The plumber came out and fixed the kitchen sink and the toilets, but hasn't been back out to replace the bathroom faucets...also he has to "blow" the lines out...we have lovely tons of rust in the water and the lines are clogging up, so water pressure is low. (This place is on a well.) This weekend, we found a leak UNDER the kitchen sink, boards are soaked (yeah, so here we go with the possibility of mold, that should do wonders on Nick's lungs!!!). About the AC, the guy came out Friday evening and looked under the house (double-wide, remember?) and ALL of the duct work has been torn up by "animals" (yeah, that would be the grey and white cat we keep seeing run under there!!! The temperature on Saturday afternoon was 87, and humid, that was LOADS of fun!!! Now we've discovered that the outlets don't work in Elisabeth's room, and the "game" room, along with a light socket in our closet. I washed a load of whites with bleach, and now they look "antiqued"!!! OY, the fun never stops, does it?!?
Our stuff is still in storage (hoping to get it out this weekend, we'll see)...
Our van is still in need of repairs (thinking the water pump, which means about $80)...
The SUV required $220 to repair the brakes because we didn't have the money to spare almost 2 weeks before that to get the pads replaced, so we needed to also get a new rotor!!!
Our dog Rocky, who'd been "staying" at someone's house for the past 6 weeks, came "home" on Wednesday evening...he had a terrible sore on his neck where his collar had rubbed because it worked it's way down too low (and the lovely sagging skin on the Basset Hound body that is his....yup, it kept it there!!!)
Yeah, life is good!!!
Maybe things will settle down eventually!!! (Not getting my hopes up though!!!)
