"We need to put our past in our behind."
So the house is coming along slowly but surely. The pool finally finished filling this morning - turned on the pump, put in the salt & other chemicals to get the "start up" of the pool back in motion.
Taped the walls - patched a few holes (still have TONS to patch - and even tape).
The back yard is almost to par - I have to trim the rose bushes before they decide to start their new growth this season - so if I need a break from taping off the walls, I can go outside & trim some bushes! So the back yard is 90% done - (well, trimmed & cleaned - we still need stuff to turn green again - but that should come soon)
I feel like the house has forgiven me for getting such terrible renters - I've cleaned her up - given her some extra TLC, bubble bath & carpet cleaning (yah - have to post "after" pictures - maybe tomorrow/Monday?) scrubbed the pool, filled the pool, fixed the cartridges/pump! Discovered my vacuum for the pool needs to be replaced - at this point, it's almost comical all the little things that decide to pop up needing replaced!
Anyway - I realized as I was listening to the radio - I heard Phil Collins? I think "I don't care any more" yah - that pretty much sums up the feelings. I'm bugged that people can act like that, live like that and treat other peoples things like that, but since nothing can be done, it's really a matter of just pushing forward chalking it up to experience. Yes, I'll still be leery of who I'm renting out to again - hopefully try and screen them a bit better...but for the most part - I'm over it & moving on...Rascal Flats - "I'm moving on"
Picture updates later - the carpet looks better - honestly - if I had to live there, I'd replace it still, but we decided to give the new renters an incentive & offer them new carpet after a year of rent...hopefully that will interest them!
