Objects at rest
Today's work at the new apartment:
- All rooms completely cleaned, except for the two rooms which will get new wallpaper, and the entrance hall
- All windows cleaned, except in those two rooms
- More plates and stuff moved, also some more flowers, and several bags of books
- Living-room floor polished twice - should get another layer tomorrow, then I think it'll be OK
Some unpleasant discoveries made:
- The fridge isn't working. The freezer is, though.
- The cupboard meant for mops and such isn't in very good shape
- The downstairs bathroom floor looks a bit bubbly around the drain. That's probably not a good sign.
- The floor in the livingroom has been rather heavily scored by a child-safety gate
Still, the good part about renting an apartment, as opposed to buying one, is that I've left a message on the janitor's phone, and the fridge should be replaced or fixed within 24 hours. If the bathroom floor turns out to be a serious issue, they'll have to fix it reasonably soonish as well. The other stuff just needs to be logged so we don't get billed for it in ten years or so when we decide to move.
