We wound up having to clean the carpets ourselves. The Carpet Cleaners arrived and after talking tried to tell me that the special would still require pre-treatment at 29 cents a sq ft. So after telling them in the nicest way possible that they were bait and switch and I had not need for them they left. I think it was a hot Friday morning and they just didn’t want to have to clean several rooms for such a low fee.
The heat is brutal in the double wide since we have the windows open to allow dust we stir up and cleaning fumes to escape. We have some standing fans going but it is still showing 98-100F in the house at peak times 1-5PM each day. Moving day is tomorrow Sunday and Monday so we will see how that goes.
Clothes are completely saturated with sweat after a short time. There seems to be a mouse infestation that we were not told about. There are some roaches also so the exterminators are supposed to be there today to completely treat the home for all pests.
Even though I look forward to owning my own place again, this sure is a lot of work after just sitting around and paying someone else to maintain or fix up a place. Another beautiful sunset last night was a nice motivation to keep plugging away.
To be continued…
