Wow...
We did another walk through the new house today. Um... Where do I begin? Every other time I've been inside of it, it's had furniture in it. I had no idea how distracting furniture is. It's not like the couch and beds were dancing the mambo or anything, but they might as well have been for the job they did hiding things. Dirty walls, scratched paint, rotting cabinet bottoms (okay so it's really only one and it was hidden by household items rather than furniture, but still), cobwebs EVERYWHERE, carpet stains (and holes), hideous faux denim blinds (how did I not see those?), broken blinds, etc. Oh, my goodness, was it dirty in there! The appliances were terrifying and I was afraid something hiding in the giant dust bunnies in the laundry closet might eat me alive. Or maybe it would actually BE the dust bunnies. *shudder*
Now, I know the guy is still working on cleaning out the house. At least, I HOPE so. I'm trying to be understanding. Well, part of me is. The rest of me feels like it is more than just a little unfair that I have to clean TWO houses when we move. I told Heath I'm tempted to call a cleaning service to
clean the house before we move into it just to get a fresh start. I'm sure THAT won't come cheap. Is my sanity worth that? If the doc has to up my meds it might be worth what we'd save on prescription costs...
Nigel says the seller is supposed to clean the house before moving out. He told the seller's realtor that we are not happy with the shape the house is in right now. He and I are going to walk through it again on Thursday to make sure things are in order before we close on Friday. I really hope they are because I feel so overwhelmed with the state of things right now. I'm starting to really see it as MY house (well, OUR house) and it made me want to cry to see it look the way it did today. I want to believe him when he says it will be better. I'm sure he's right (being the WGR and all), but it's so hard to see it now.
