House is officially ours now! Yay!

We're only having movers move the furniture to both save a little bit of money and also so we can live in the new house and not in the house that's trying to kill all of us ASAP.

So there's a flurry to get the furniture ready to go by tomorrow morning, but then we'll have the whole rest of August to get everything ELSE out of the house.

But it's been around 104 degrees (40+ degrees for you Celsius folks) for the entirety of this process and I am so hot and messy and exhausted.

And all of this is kicking up ALL the dust of course, so I am an allergy-ridden mess. But also IT'S HAPPENING.

Tomorrow night I SLEEP IN THE NEW HOUSE.

YAY!!!

Exciting!!!

summer moving is the absolute worst
good luck! do not melt!

MOVING DAY AAAAAAAAHHHH

Moving day generally went pretty well, there were some bumps but when are there ever not? Just now FINALLY got my desk and internet set up. (It's midnight here)

Third night in the new place and the washing machine made the downstairs toilet massively overflow. Whee.

We were able to finally stop it, but not before water POURED into the bedroom. Thankfully we have not-carpet (I think it's laminate) in that area. But FUCK.

So the pipes are fucked. We’re lawyering up because it’s really clear the foundation work did this and it wasn’t disclosed and it’s... very expensive

Basically either the foundation people didn't do their due dilligence in checking and/or reporting the pipe damage or, if they DID report the pipe damage, the sellers didn't disclose it, which is SUPER NOT GOOD for them.

And then we do also have homeowner's insurance, but, based on the information we got, they can probably prove that this was pre-existing, so we're not counting on that.

But we're talking five digits to fix this, so we are GOING to get to the bottom of who fucked up where.

This has been a very stressful day and I've also been trying to at least sort of have meetings and work from home through a lot of this.

BUT, at least the toilets/laundry work.

They won't work for more than a few weeks, that's how bad the damage is, but they DO WORK.

what the fuck

oh that's awful, i hope the lawyer can sort this out for you.

Yeah, it would be nice. But it has been VERY STRESSFUL.

yeah no kidding. >: god that sucks so much.

what a nightmare
