So, this is going to be a half-assed non weekend post. My half assed pic that I stole borrowed from Simple Dude is on my other computer. The mac. Oh my Mac how do I miss thee? But I am rabbit trailing....
We get to move into our house today (finally). We were supposed to be moving in Monday and yesterday but the house wasn't ready. Let me elucidate for you all my wonderful stellars.
Imagine if you will, that you spent some 5 plus hours loading a 22 ft truck and realized you were still going to have to get a trailer to get the other stuff that really can't be left behind. One of the last things that you do prior to totally disconnecting is check your email one last time. In your inbox is an email from the property management firm with a time stamp of 6:40pm. This isn't a 'have a safe trip, we can't wait to meet you' email. No, this email was something else entirely.
This email informed us that while doing a final inspection of the cleaning prior to move in, they found black mold in the basement and the air ducts and they were releasing us from our lease. WHAT??? I thought that I was hallucinating due to the stress from packing and loading. Suddenly my question ('WHAT'???) was being echoed by Darling Husband. It was at that moment that I realized I'd spoken it aloud. Really loudly.
Understand, all appliances, beds, and tvs and furniture (and vibrator) are packed in the truck. We were going to be sleeping on air mattresses that night. Suddenly we didn't have anywhere to go? It was incomprehensible. We started calling and leaving messages. Between the two of us we left like 10 messages (each increasingly agitated from the prior) in an hour. Finally we heard from the property management company and were assured that they were getting the mold remediated. However, the house wasn't ready for move in when we arrived. So we've been hanging out in a hotel and hopefully will be starting move in shortly after noon time.
I'll have more adventures to share just wanted to check in. Apologies if it isn't entertaining. Hoping to be back on form once we get settled.
Cold, snowy, beautiful Idaho. It still looks the same....hahaha. Good luck sweetie. Hope it all goes so well for you.
ReplyDeleteNot that just sucks ass. I hope everything turns out ok for you.
ReplyDeletegood luck with that. and how much do you think it would cost to ship me your old boxes? :D i packed our first moving box today. text me later and let me know what's happening.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness-I'm so sorry that happened but glad they didn't try to cover it up and let you move into that. I'd much rather have you inconvenienced than sick. Hope they clear it up swiftly and you are able to settle in.
ReplyDeleteWow! Murphy's Law hit big time! Keep the faith. Things tend to work out in the end.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot to have to deal with all at once. I'm glad they're taking care of it for you. Hope things start running more smoothly from here on out!
ReplyDeleteDespite my personal Idaho demons...I hope things work out and it's everything you want it to be :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my. Life is never boring, is it??

Agree with Jewels...at least it came out now instead of down the road. Hope your hotel is somewhat comfy.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Idaho from your picture, it looks like it is real. If you look really hard, you can see Boise States blue football field on the map above. :o) Sorry, I will go.
ReplyDeletegood luck and all that!
ReplyDeletethings do have a way of working out!
keep your head up...
and about 100 other cliches..
Well that was rather negligent of them to wait and tell you on your moving day. Best of luck getting the situation sorted so that you can get settled into your new home.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to hear you rip that property manager a new one... Glad everything is working out now.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is a nightmare!!!!! There's something wrong that he didn't discover this sooner. That's hardly adequate notice on the manager's part. Wow.
ReplyDelete*Hugs to you* Just be safe and things will work out.
Wow! I'm never really lost for words - but I'm struggling here.
ReplyDeleteMoving at the best of times sucks and this is just incomprehensible.
I'm sending you some cyber hugs.

That just sucks. They couldn't spot the mold and till 6pm on the day you were moving?
ReplyDeleteWow! As if moving was not hard enough.
ReplyDeleteOH MY! Wow.. I would have been so mad. I can imagine the phone calls to. My Hubby would have been threatening all kinds of legal action..lol.
ReplyDeleteThat's terrible. I'm so glad you sorted it out though.
Welcome to Idaho, you poor poor thing. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, awesome post. Just discovered your blog and I'm gonna be plowing through it as much as I can.
Again, welcome to tater town. Hope you brought your own entertainment...
Thanks for all your cyber hugs and good thoughts. We are up and running again with all of our computers and internet issues sorted out (finally). I have to admit to being completely slack for not coming back to my blog sooner but I was worn out. I don't ever want to move again! And if I do, I'll insist on hiring movers.
