Life on Green Willow pt. 1

SO, we spent this past Thursday,friday and sat morning at our new home that we are renting in Farmington Hills. what a few days!! Lainey got sick while we were their, the runny nose, congestion and two boughts of runny BM's :) One of which was explosive last night in the middle of IKEA!! what a mess, almost down her legs by the time i got to the bathroom with her.

Thursday was busy, we signed the lease, did a walk through. I went to Target for some cleaning supplies and josh headed off to work. This house has turned out not to be what we thought. I guess you cant tell much by spending ten minutes in a home, and then a week later rent it, with out seeing it again. Ispent almost 9 HOURS CLEANING!!!! Josh had a dinner he had to go to, so lainey and I ate pizza and continued to clean. Josh came home around 9 ish and then he and i unpacked our boxes. Neither one of us, slept well, because we were on my sisters air mattress that has a slow leak. We woke up several times to blow it back up. At least lainey slept through the night.

Friday josh went to work and lainey and i were doing some more cleaning, then we went on a walk through the neighborhood with norman. We went inside and I decided to run a cycle through the wash machine. As it was rinsing all the sudden every sink, toilet, and bath tub made the most awful, loud gurggling sound, even lainey cried because it was so loud. I thought the house was falling apart. i went to the back of the house in the laundry room, to find that water was comming up through the drain in the floor!!! I called josh and he called the relator, who called the landlord and said if this is not fixed in the next few hours the tenants are moving out. SO of course at 12:30 plumbers were at the door. Three hours later, a broken toilet and a snake pip thing, the house was back in working order. Aparently when you let pipes sit for as long as they did, and then start using them its not good. The pipes had eroded and then when we started flushing and using water, that caused a back up. So they ran water and ran a snake through it for an hour, and then replaced the toilet that broke in the process. at 3:45 they finally left. I began to seriously regret this decision, plus they never put a fresh coat of paint on the walls,which are gross with smudes and stains.

Friday after all that we went out to Chili's for dinner and then to IKEA which is only 20 mins away!! AWSOME!!!! We purchased out bedroom set, we finally got our KING size bed, now we have to put it all together. Friday night was a good night. Saturday we got up packed up and came home. I can tell you that the Spring Lake/Grand Haven Exit never looked so Good. Im really going to miss what we have here. Im ,with reluctancy ,looking forward to Farmington Hills. NExt week is the offical moving week, we are loading up Friday night, and then leaving Sat Am, and spending the weekend there. We have to be back here the week of thanksgiving so from here on out its a lot of back and forth until at least January.
