This past weekend
Richard and I drove to
Richard worked
outside cleaning up the yard and fixing the shed that had sustained damage over
the year from natural wear and tear. He
cleaned up all the matted down leaves and planted some flowers to give our
small back yard some color.
I hate
renters. In general people are terrible
to places they don't physically own. I
feel like I'm a very good renter.
Probably the only thing I can see that could be a problem is I like to
paint the walls. I cannot live in a
white world.
I worked inside the
house repainting all of the woodwork.
I'm saying all baseboards, doors, doorframes, and cabinets. Our property manager thought the tenants had
used a harsh abrasive cleaner to all those surfaces because you could see white
marks all over them. I discovered they
were not cleaned they were painted! All
of the woodwork is off white in color.
They used generic cheap white paint all over the woodwork as if to hide
the markups. We suspect it was used to
paint over dirty areas instead of cleaning.
I was annoyed by the kitchen the most since I had freshly painted the
walls and cabinets before we left. My
brother lives in
I found an outlet
cover that had been wood glued back onto the wall. Seriously!?
Those are like 99 cents to get a new one and screw back on. That was fun having to pry it off the wall.
I can't complain
too much. Overall, they were good
renters. We didn't have any holes in
walls, rotting floors, or something else major.
It was just annoying.
We finished up
Monday morning and headed home. The
house looks nice. Now let's hope it will
sell.
Cheers,
Kyle
