We got sad and probably good news all at once yesterday

Sad news I called and all the leases that were coming available in August got renewed. No Townhouse move *this* month. By *this* month I mean next month because were waiting for a 30 day move out notice. So most likely from the date we are told that we are getting a Town house its probably 30 days for those people to move out and another 7-14 for them to clean it and fix any damage.

Here is why not getting one this month was good news. Our maintenance guy came to fix my kitchen light. I love being a renter, yo.

Well we have a pretty awesome back and forth banter because he always gives me crap about him having to fix really odd minor things. Not in a rude way just teasing. Well I asked him to walk through our apartment and tell me what needs fixin', lots y'all.

All the walls are painted. While I LOVE it and am so glad we did it, I wish I would have picked less bold colors. Orange and dark blue, green and aqua are gonna be a pain in the ass to cover. So he suggested I go to the front office and buy the 5 gallon white paint for 55$ and at least do one coat over all my beautiful walls. To save the 175$ it will cost per coat.

He told me that while I take down pictures, art work and curtains I should buy some cheap puddy and fill the holes before painting.

Since we will more than likely have 45 days from notice of being able to move, to do repairs and repaint. I am not sure if I will start painting and putting things from the walls away. I just don't know. But my goal is to get back 775$ out of our 1050$ deposit.

We have a few MAJOR things that we know we damaged. Bathroom molding got destroyed by Scout when he had a panic attack and he scratched the shit out of it trying to get out.

We drilled a hole through the sliding glass door frame to get our antenna cord to come inside. That will be easy with some putty.

Tons of pictures on the walls.

I have to put the sliding glass door blinds back up. Hopefully they aren't to banged up sitting out in the pantry. I'm going to hang those back up THIS weekend so they can straighten out a bit before we leave.

So once we get the call (Hopefully Sept 1st!! For mid Oct) We will begin work. I will start documenting all my fixer upper projects to get these place back in top top shape to move out and hopefully leave it as nice (minus normal wear and tear) as possible!
