Oh the Joy of Renting!

We rent the upper floor of a house. That means that there are people we do not know living downstairs. They change frequently.



We have had the lady who turned the furnace off cause it made noise - causing a cold cold winter for us! She also smoked in the house. We had the mother and son with the dog that barked and barked and barked and barked. Then we had the "non smokers" who smoked everything! They partied! Then one of them moved out and in moved another and then he moved out and in moved some girls.



And then today I came home to find people in the driveway waiting to see the place. And the interested party so far - 2 adults, a 2 year old a 3 year old and a baby due in November.

One thing you need to know about this house -- it is just a regular single family home that has been sectioned off into 2 suites. There is no sound proofing between floors. If you use the bathroom in the master bath you can listen to conversations downstairs.

Can you imagine the noise of 3 kids under 3 in a house like this? Not to mention that we pay 70% of the utilities. That is certainly something that will have to change!!!

Oh give me strength!
