So...I had posted in the Ape Room a while back that I am moving to Garden City (wife's job - I'll be student teaching). We only had one opportunity to come out in May to look for a place to live. We didn't want to buy (for reasons too numerous to post), but had some difficulty finding a place to rent that will allow our dog.
Well, we found a place. A place that was going to need some work, but had a lot of promise...3 bedroom house with hardwood floors. The landlord had a laundry list of things that he was going to get done, replace...looked very promising, and again, we didn't have any other options.
He told us originally that it would be ready to move in on July 24th. Then he called that week to let us know that it would be another week. We booked our rental truck, packed up all of our stuff, found some family that was willing to help us move, and drove out to Garden City. The place isn't close to finished, or suited to be lived in (in its current state). Landlord said he thought we could "work around each other" until it's done...completely unacceptable. We have a full truck, and are in a hotel room looking through every source to find another rental. The child starts daycare on Monday, and my wife and I start new teacher in-service on Wednesday...what a freaking day. I can't even imagine that this would be "one of those days" that we'll look back on and laugh...it really blows.
