Barrels of fun

I wish I had a disposable income that would allow for a contractor to come into my house and finish the damned thing for me. As of today I have
- sanded off the cheesy 70s texture from the walls with an electric sander
- used 5 gallons (60 pounds) of drywall “mud” to even them out and plug holes/gashes
- sanded the walls again
- used 2.5 gallons (30 gallons) of drywall “mud” to further smooth the walls
Tomorrow I will sand them a third time. After the dust settles and I sweep and vacuum, I can paint. At that point all that is left is to make a windowsill and put flooring down. I should’ve done the windowsill but I thought my husband would be around to do it. He was supposed to come this weekend but he’s not because there were no cheap flights. So now I’m on my own to do the master bedroom and bathroom. He will do floors and tile the bathroom when he comes at the end of the month.
I have an ad out for my house and have gotten a couple of serious inquiries. A few spammers from “international” places hoping I will give them my banking info for their “deposits”. I got an email today from a woman who was kind enough to send me a picture of her SHAVED ASS to show me what a CLEAN tenant she is. I really appreciated that. Makes it so much easier to weed out the riff raff, you know?

Hah! Do all applicants have to send you a picture of their (hopefully clean) ass to prove their worth as tennants? *giggle*
