Well....where do I start? Our rental house has been renamed and now known as, "The Money Pit!" FRUSTRATION doesn't come close to explaining our aggravation of one thing after another after another - yet after another of things breaking, needing fixed, more repairs, more money.....phew!
For years the apartment side of the house's airconditioner has given us fits and had to be recharged every summer. This hot season - was no exception.....only the tennant wasn't home and no one noticed that something was terribly wrong with the ceilings.
One day, while the little cousins ran up into the apartment, they returned to report that water was coming down out of the light in the ceiling! Yikes! Well...after investigating - low and behold - the ol' airconditioner's coils rusted up and clogged, causing the drip tray to overflow and down onto the ceiling. (The unit is situated in the attic - and not to our liking - but that's where they installed it when the apartment part of the house was built.)
Unfortunatley, the ceiling in the master bedroom has to be redone - as the drywall tape is falling - and the water stains need Kilz before we repaint.
But then - the guys that were to install a new unit made a mess on the carpets - and we're not sure at this time if they plan to clean up their messes - but I do believe that Steve will suggest that they do. I cannot believe that no one protected the carpet! I don't think rust comes out of white burbour carpet! Grrr!
Ok....THEN....the kicker of all - is the inground pool. If you only knew how much money we have put into this pool to make it "maintenance free" you'd better understand our complete and total aggravation that they pool's water is now a gross green....and the suspect "Mineral Springs Coil" isn't working properly....AGAIN! It was a costly process to convert the pool from chlorene to the Mineral Springs. It was supposed to save money in the long run with chemicals......but in the 2 or so years we've had it - we've had nothing but troubles with it and have had to have constant care over it - and repairs as well - even though it was NEW.
I really think Steve is about to fill in the pool with dirt, plant grass - and call it DONE!
Meanwhile, the house, (which I do miss....but don't see moving back to) is on our minds to sell it to the tenants, who have informed us of their interest if we should decide to sell it. I have to pray about this.....and then I suppose - let it go.
I do miss that house though......so many memories....soo many rooms! Wonderful square foot - and location is so perfectly situated! I love the neighborhood!
Lots to pray about!
:(
