Moving!

Over the weekend, we found a place. for the price it was advertised for and the location it is in, it was a steal. i decided to have a quick look and honest to God, if we weren’t so desperate, probably not the place i had move into for the price. but we are desperate, and so we are now moving to Braddon, into “half a house”. It was, basically, a 3 bedroom house, shoddily converted into a 5 bedroom, and then split into half. This time, i am staying in the back half.

To describe it as it is now, quickly, it’s a 2 bedroom bedsit kinda place. the bedrooms themselves are almost the same size, if not larger than, the living room and the kitchen combine. The kitchen itself is really a part of the living room area, and everything is carpeted except for the double ensuites. There’s a small verandah, a GIGANORMOUS shared yard and garage. really, they are so big, and considering how the house was converted, i was surprised he didn’t convert the garage into a living area either.

The thing is, the previous tenants kinda trashed the place real bad. The sliding glass doors leading to the verandah were broken, the carpeted area next to the kitchen sink was brown from a rusting fridge. walls were obviously not cleaned and stained with moulded food and grease. There were pockmarks all across the walls as well as actual marks everywhere. showers were obviously not cleaned either, and neither were the carpet. not to mention the overwhelming smell of spices running through the house.
The landlord is obviously trying to please us though, so he’s been trying to re-paint everything, get everything done today for us so that it’s liveable by FRIDAY.

and on my part, i am going to start vanilla candles burning there for nights on an end until there’s no more spice smell. i love spices, just not living in it. it’s not an unliveable place as it is, just needs lots of work to make it homely and the way i had like it.

and there you go! we found a place, photographs will follow once we have done it up so that it doesn’t look half as trashy!
