new house

i haven't written in here for awhile. but new rant! hooray.

I am moving to a nice big house this weekend. The catch: the landlords are my dad and my aunt. Which at first was awesome. And now it sucks. Hardcore.

problem one: cleaning and furnature.

the house used to be my grandmas. she moved to a retirement home and left tons and tons of stuff. which one one hand is awesome because i don't have any kitchen stuff and hardly any furnature. but the downside is that a lot of it is NICE and if it gets ruined, i'm screwed. and some of it is uuuuuugly. and i'm the one who has to get rid of it. plus, there are tons of burned out light bulbs and other things that need to be cleaned/fixed that again, I have to take care of.

problem two: wallpaper and paint

i was under the impression that we could get rid of the god-awful wallpaper and paint. we had someone come over last night to look at it and it turns out since the wallpaper is so old, it's going to take awhile to get rid of. and it's going to be exxxxxxpensive. we also found out that all the paint is oil based, which is desired now but its an ugly yellow color. which means we have to sand EVERYTHING before we paint it, and there are something like 20 doors in the house, not counting all the trim. plus, when the guy came over he ripped off a big chunk of wallpaper in my bedroom and now we aren't painting it which means I'm doubly screwed when my dad and aunt find out

problem three: pets

again, i was under the impression that we could get a pet. we could probably get away with getting a cat, but two of the four of us are allergic, so that's out. but i found out this morning that dogs are a no-no. which was part of the incentive for moving in.

so fuck this project. we would have been better off renting an apartment somewhere. none of this is turning out like I had hoped, and it's caused many arguements between Senator and I (who is great by the way).

yuuuuuuuuuuck
