Today, I’m not at work because after months of back and forth and frustration, the management at our apartment complex is sending someone out to fix our carpets. (yay!) When you patch and clean carpets, however, you do not move furniture; that costs extra. That was our job, so thank you to our wonderful friends who came over yesterday and helped us hide the entire contents of our living and dining room into our two bedrooms. Our living room is empty now. So it begins.

so empty

They have to patch some straight slits that were obviously done by a straight razor and have gotten worse since they are in a high traffic area, they tried to say that our cats did this (I’m assuming they also pictured them meowing maliciously while they clawed away). While the cats may have made it worse, my cats cant even dig in the litter properly, they’re certainly not capable of long straight cuts into carpet.

The slices in question

They also have to replace the carpet under the window. Last rainy season (and every rainy day since then) the entire floor by our big window was flooded. After taking months to get back to us, they came in, pulled back the carpet and replaced the dry wall (by propping it up with another piece of drywall) and then added new trim. Then they rolled the still damp carpet and pad back into place.

Well since then, the carpets have become orange under the window, and when they come today we’re going to have to tell them again that it still gets wet when it rains, so they may want to fix that while they’re at it.

My house is empty. It feels weird. Like we’re moving, but we’re not. Anyway, I’ll add a picture of the carpets below once they’re done making them pretty…BOOM! Added!

Glory! Clean carpets! Though…still totally soaking wet.

Have you ever had any renovations done by your property manager?
