| I'm really just trying to hide my giant cat. Aren't we all? |
I don't like when someone is in my apartment when I'm not
there. It could be my landlord, a technician or my boyfriend's best
friend. Doesn't matter who it is. It makes me uncomfortable.
This week, there are workers in my apartment changing the risers in the kitchen. They're there all. Week. Long.
Last night, I came home to holes in my wall that had been covered up by boards. I found layers of sawdust everywhere. When I mean everywhere, I mean everywhere. On my coffee table, on my TV and even in my bedroom! You're working on my kitchen! Why is there sawdust in my bedroom? Are they taking naps in my bed and then playing XBox in my living room? I'll never know!
I officially declare this a long week. I also hereby declare that I don't think I could ever make it through a renovation. To those of you
that have, my hat is off to you.
Have you done a renovation?
Are you okay with people being in your home when you're not there?

I haven't done a renovation, but I can't tell you how glad I am to be rid of my current landlord soon. He enters ALL. THE. TIME. without notice. Oh, but he doesn't do anything either. Ugh. The point is, I totally get your frustration.
ReplyDeletewe did our whole basement a few summers ago and i hated every second of it. i specifically put in the contract that they MUST finish within 3 weeks or i'll start taking X dollars off the price for each day they were delayed. they were really profesh though; did the job and finished 1 day early and it was awesome. they were also pretty clean about the whole thing too.

YOU CAN COME LIVE WITH ME IN AMERICA WHILE IT'S BEING DONE. I got room fo you guurrrl!
ReplyDeleteIt's so damp in out flat that one of our outer walls is being completely re-done with means workmen galore. And I completely understand where you're coming from. I've met a few of them in passing and they seem like really nice guys but it still creeps me out that people I don't know are totally alone where I live... x
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! We had to add onto the backside of our house, to make Alina's bedroom WHILE I WAS PREGNANT. We painted our ENTIRE house WHILE I WAS PREGNANT! Rob ripped out all of the carpets in our house and replaced them with nice flooring WHILE I WAS PREGNANT! AND-- I helped considerably with the painting. I seriously can't believe that I helped.. I was such a trooper. The only thing Rob didn't do himself was the dry walling.. and my goodness, ask anyone that has had a drywalling renovation in one room of their house... DRYWALL gets EVERYWHERE. I'm STILL finding it.. It seriously sneaks under doorways and settles on any surface that there is. It was awful and horrid and the worst thing I've ever had to clean. But.. it's construction, it's messy and it gets everywhere. After living with someone in construction for over eight years I've learned to accept the fact that it's messy and it's not the job of the guys to make sure the dry wall doesn't seep under the doorways or through the doors.. They're just there to dry wall and you're stuck with the mess. Sigh! So yes, to answer your question.. we've done renos and they totally suck ass. !!!
ReplyDeletesaw dust is like the glitter of the carpentry world
ReplyDeleteYikes, that would creep me out if I found sawdust in my bedroom. WHY ARE THEY IN THERE?!
ReplyDeleteI hate having people in my apartment when I'm not home either - it's the worst!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I died at that GIF! I love it. I also hate it when people are at my place! Unless you want to come over, then by all means :)
ReplyDeleteDid you ask??? I'd be super creeped out by it showing up in the bedroom! And what's with the holes in the walls???
ReplyDeleteI hate when people that I don't know are I my apt!! Having 2 roommates make that kind of difficult though when they bring over their friends that I don't know!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't like when people are in my apartment either. I know maintenance and office staff technically have every right to be there, but it bugs me! Luckily, my office staff is really good about letting us know ahead of time if work has to be done. At least that way I have time to put my dirty underwear in the hamper before they see it. HA!!
ReplyDeleteI don't like it either! I just don't trust people I guess. I've never had a bad experience or anything like that but it just feels so WEIRD.
ReplyDeleteIt was like that when I lived in an apartment too. It's terrible! I hope it gets better for you soon!

ugh so annoying! I hated when we would have random people in our apartment too. my one maintenance lady was a huge asshole and would leave crazy messes whenever she did anything. the one time they had to access the roof through my bathroom. she used my waste basket to fill with water to rinse stuff off outside (what!?!) and then there were dirty boot prints all over my countertop. I wanted to murder her.

ReplyDeleteHaha I love your giant cat. Bet he gets in the way sometimes :-P

Oooh, I don't think I would like that at all. Especially if there is sawdust anywhere that is NOT the kitchen. Quite weird! But, unfortunately, I'm sure it must be done. Hopefully it will go by fast and they will be out of there in no time!
ReplyDeleteooh i am the same way. i can tell it even if there's no evidence! my dog goes crazy!
