Relocate…

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Welcome back!

I’ve thought about relocating, but the going rate on apartments right now is out of sight.

Where we are staying, the rent is based on the income of each renter. Otherwise, the rents would be over $500 for even a dump. We have wondered about getting steel buildings to put all of our stuff in, but since it is really hot right now, that would be a bad idea. Everything would be melted, or…..

I have to have air-conditioning, so does my husband, so living in a steel building is not the brightest idea for us, unless it was extremely insulated. Even then, we would have to have a lot to put it on. We will keep packing, anyway.

Saving money

Friday, August 13th, 2010

You know, if the apartment manager is smart, she will buy stuff at wholesale prices. At least that way she will be saving lots of money. It is bad enough that there will be a bunch of workers that will need to be paid.

Well, for them it isn’t bad since that means that they will be earning a living and being able to pay for their families and stuff, but the cost of having do 32 complete apartments has got to be amazing. Think about it. Paint x 32, electrical x 32, doors x 32, water heaters x 32, stoves x 32……

Glad I’m not paying that bill. Wish that we did not have to pack to get it done though.

Leaks

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Not at all what we need right now. I think that one of the faucets in the bathroom might be leaking and it definitely shows some corrosion.

The apartment complex will be undergoing renovation sometime, but I do not think that they will be using Kohler kitchen faucets or bathroom faucets anywhere in the complex. Usually those things are gotten in lots for more than just one apartment at a time.

I am still feeling grumpy about all of the ruckus that is going on with people having to pack and all of our routines getting upset.

What’s going on?

Friday, August 13th, 2010

There are things happening in our neighborhood that some do not like.

Gas is being taken out of gas tanks, some have had windows broken and cars rifled. I understand that the trash being gotten into and being scattered is being done by raccoons. But raccoons cannot get car doors open, or gas siphoned from tanks. I think that some security cameras might make the difference and tell people what is really going on. The raccoons have been actually seen by my husband and others. This other stuff, however, the culprit has managed to stay unseen. People in this neighborhood cannot afford to have expensive gasoline stolen, or things taken out of their cars.

We’ll see. :(

Fall?

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Isn’t August supposed to be in the fall, or nearly there?

I can’t tell it by this heat that we have going here in Texas. When fall comes, the leaves start to change, people start to shop for things they will need in the winter, snow boots, winter coats, yata, yata, yata. Well, I guess that it is not yet fall. If someone walked into a store and asked about any of those things the sales people would think they were totally nuts.

The weather people refused to say that it is going to have a slight cool spell, because the temperature will only drop from 100 to 99. That’s a drop? Who are they trying to kid?
