Twenty-One Point Five: *excessive headdesk*

Renters.

That is the problem of the day.

Let me walk you through:

We had a renter (well, my mum had a renter) and said renter was nice but fairly consistently late on the rent. Not too long ago, we found out that people who we had not authorised were living there. They were told by the renter that mum rented to that he (said renter) owned the property.

So, they're gone now, through an official eviction notice.

But the house is trashed.

So now we have to:

- Clean up all the trash
- Fix the broken blinds
- Replace the carpet in all but the master bedroom (it's torn out of one back bedroom and a section of the hallway and there are bleach strains on everything)
- Fix the front and back doors
- Fix the water damage around the doors
- Fix the water tank
- Wrap the water tank's pipes
- Inspect absolutely everything

So, all in all, maybe about $3,000 in damage.

Oh, good. Oh, good!

*headdesk*

I'm done. We're all just done with renters. The house can sit on the market, for sale, until it rots and it would probably be better for it.

So.

That's how the second half of my day has been.

I'm going to go and try to write something. (And also try not to be annoyed by people on the internet who meant no harm and have absolutely nothing to do with me.)
