Moving

[Riverwind (imported)]

Kristoff, my two able bodied sons will be doing the heavy stuff, I will be mostly packing tubs and unpacking them. Thanks for the offer I hope it will be around the 3rd he is still fixing the place so the date is still a bit unclear.

Jesus, that's one of the reasons I am moving, the porch finally totally gave way last Aug, she still has not fixed it, when I told her that was one of the reasons I was moving she said "HOW do you expect me to fix the porch when there is snow on the ground?" I said, there was not snow on the ground in Aug, Sept, Oct, or Nov what is your excuse then? that you could not do it because it was to hot?"

Like I said, I figure two days to move everything and set everything back up and then the third day, the FISH TANKS.

The move is on, the stuff in the sheds have been moved to the basement, tomorrow Thursday we will start moving stuff over, bookcases and the books, most of the kitchen, end tables, tubs that have already been filled, then empty them and do it again, the light stuff, Friday we will move the heaver stuff, and sometime Saturday or for sure Sunday the computers will be moved and we will be off line for a few days. OMG, off line. I am starting to get the shakes already.

Its not going to be a bad move, except for those fish tanks.

Hope your move is as painless as possible and your new home, more better.

Truthfully, I like trailer parks as opposed to sharing a wall. Of course out here they are called mobile home parks. But, like Canada or France - they carry lots of fodder for humor, ref. Alaska thread.

Happy New Home to You, River

The book cases and books have been moved, plus most of the kitchen and a lot of little stuff, end tables etc. I am totally wiped.

This morning my landlady called me and said, "how soon are you going to be out because I am moving in, I am going to start bringing stuff over today."

I said it would take me until Sunday to be out and she could move in after that.

She gets all upset and said I have to be out today its the end of the month.

Yes Mary I know that but the place I am moving into was not finished until today so it is going to take me a few days to get moved.

Then she tells me how unacceptable this is, and demanded rent until I am out. I said fine I will prorate it out and she said NO< I want $50.00 a day. I laughed, and said try $20. NO she screams, 50 a day or be out by the end of the day.

I said, NO I would not be out until at least Sunday, but with her attitude it might not happen until Tuesday and as for paying well I am sure we will work something out.

She is so upset, she cant even talk and said, YOU WILL PAY ME 50 DOLLARS A DAY AND THAT IS FINAL,

I hung up the phone.

I will be out by Sunday or Monday for sure, well at least by Tuesday and she will get nothing from me, PISS ME OFF she gets nothing.

And she can deal with the missing porch, the electric that is out on one wall including the over head in my kitchen, the sink that is stopped up so bad we have been using buckets to empty the water down the toilet, speaking of which its falling through the floor and that just part of the problems.

She has never cleaned up the trash in the yard and now there is even more, from the porch, she is so bad she gives trailer trash a bad name.

You might give her a "farewell gift" on your very last hour in the house... get some plaster-o-paris and dump a bag of it into each toilet and FLUSH it immediately... it will harden and CLOG the drain like hell forever just a few feet from the toilet.

As a landlord myself, I know the things that really keep me awake at night, that really worry me. One of the absolute worst things to happen to any house is an undetected slow pinhole leak in any pressurized water pipe, especailly if it is high up in a wall somewhere. Everyone knows that fire can destroy a house in minutes, but water rots wood and drywall, and fosters mold, and if it is undetected, it can cost thousands to fix all the rotted structure.

OH, not that I would ever suggest that you ever do anything so evil...

You could always tell her to start eviction proceedings....they take about 90 days before you get booted. Just keep living there

You know, I don't need to plug the drain, its already plugged, and as for rot, that's already happening, plus the leaks around all the windows, the black mole growing in the closet, I don't need to do anything, its already done and I did not do any of it, that's the best part.

The place I live nothing happens that everybody in the park does not know about it within an hour. Last night a neighbor came over to tell me that Mary was so upset about me hanging up on her and wanted the full story. So I figured I would tell her. I suggested just that, that it might take me a week or more to get out and that I was never going to pay her a dime more. I know this got back to Mary in about 30 minutes. Next is to go after my security deposit which is in a joint account that requires both our signatures to get the money.

OH Happy Days in SUN SHINE Trailer park.

The only ones really upset by this move are my pets, Rupert and Nellie know something bad is happening, things keep leaving the house, like yesterday Rupert's cat tree went, today I am going to take the kids over to the new place.

Well if there is CODE violations and there are, just call the inspectors. If the toilet is falling through the floor, and then the electrical problems they may say fix it now, or we will condemn the house and demolish it.
