A hunting we will go.

[reynardo]

We've decided not to go ahead with the house we were considering. The owner wanted a lot of money, and the inspections had come back with a) a lot of work needing doing and b) a lot of work that had been done not approved by the Council. We wanted the price dropped accordingly, and the owner wouldn't, and we realised we were stressing a lot about a place that we weren't absolutely happy with, so t'was far better to say "no" and look elsewhere.

This now means us probably moving to a different rental place as the owner here is finally ready to demolish. Possibly a flat, and leave the dog at my parents' house. But somewhere that has:

* cupboards with bottoms
* cupboard handles that are in the right side and place for me to reach
* a bathroom floor that drains
* a kitchen sink that the tap reaches
* lights that don't fall out of the ceiling when you try to change a lightbulb
* a screen door that can open and shut all the way because the awning isn't built over it.
* no termites in the woodwork
* no holes in the floor
* no lumps under the carpet
* doors over the door spaces, so you can heat one room without losing it to the whole house.
* no exposed sewage pipe in the back yard.
* etc etc etc

Now off to a nice hot bath my bunny has run for me.

Sorry to hear that house things didn't quite work out as planned : (

But I'm sure you'll find a much better place : )

So sorry to hear that things didn't work out, my dear - though it sounds like it's better that it fall through now, than later (especially if things fell through when the termites ate through your floor.  Yes, that was bad, even for me.).

I hope suitable places - first temporary, then permanent - present themselves in short order...

Gah. Sorry to hear.

And best of luck.
