reynardo | A hunting we will go.

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.
