My Work Is Cut Out

Tomorrow while hubby is having his outpatient surgery, I will be making some telephone calls. The tenant on the vacant side did not clean out the place well. In fact she may not really be done, but come on girl, you did not even pay any rent in July they tell me. There is furniture and there are appliances, and ewwww a smelly cat tray. Without her decorating sense, I can see that there needs to be some painting and patching done. Hubby would like it all paneled. I say "no way". I will call her mom, who is the city clerk and ask what the daughter is going to do. I will get utilities put into our name. We took a coffee pot over, and that must be the important part to @finlander60. We verbally gave notice to the other tenant. He has a lot of stuff to move, and the shed or garage is full of his demolition car stuff. I did not see any bugs anywhere. And the house has been treated. I also used a homemade concoction that smells good and is supposed to repel spiders, ants and such. It made the whole house smell better. Hubby is having his last cup of coffee before midnight. He cannot have any tomorrow. I guess it is time to go to bed.

Hope everything goes well with your husband. You have that on to think about w/o worrying about people not taking care of things! Tell us about your natural concoction for keeping bugs away! Always like to hear about these things.

I put the phone calls off until this morning, except for the one to the mother of the former tenant. I could not concentrate. The surgery is fine and I think I will post about my concoction.

Procedure went well. I only made one phone call, to the mom of the former tenant and it will be cleaned out by this weekend. Hubby needs to rest some this week anyway.

Is this your new home that was left like this? I don't blame you for getting on it so that you do not have so much work to do when you move in. Good luck with your husband and the hospital tomorrow, hope that al goes well with that.

Procedure went well. The mom apologized and says they will get all the things out and clean by the weekend. Hubby will need to be resting this week, so that is fine.
