I've got new carpets being fitted tomorrow so I've had to declutter for the fitters.

We were gonna redo the living room carpet. We got a proper quote. I assumed it would be like $1500 or so. It ended up being $3200. So we scraped the idea. Shits expensive

Endless charity shop runs and the painting and decorating because the old walls looked shit when the furniture was moved.

Don't paint round it what you redecorate you lazy fuk

[Loy Toy]

I'm painting at the moment and moving furniture as well.

Cannot believe how the former tenants didn't care about how filthy they left the house let alone living with the mess and pet hair everywhere.

I had a renter leave a car engine for me in the yard once.

I did that last time, hence my horror

Pets create a lot of mess, hence most renter wont entertain pet owners.
Funnily enough I only did a repaint and dpring clean six months ago and the place was well mucky in the hard to get to places.

They should do that Aussie bond scheme were the tenant has to pay for a professional clean before the bond is returned.

Fvcking priceless!

You don't own a house, so how did you have a renter?

[OhOh]

filthy they left the house let alone living with the mess and pet hair everywhere.

I'm surprised you don't have any "clean-up" and "no-pets" clauses, in your rent agreement.

Take a deposit upon them moving in, to be refunded once the tenant has left. If your property cleanliness not up to your agreement, keep the deposit/employ a cleaner.

Ahh, tenants, those were the days

[Edmond]

I do remember one bird didn't clean up her browser history and had searched for 'is swallowing sperm nutritious?'


Coulda come to some sort of heath benefit agreement if only she asked.

You/she included a computer with the tenancy?!

[Edmond]

We have a lot of computers around the place. If she happened to have clicked on TD and signed in as Hillbilly, my apologies.

You don't own a house, so how did you have a renter?

I owned a house in Abbotsford in the early 2000's. And one in Alberta that I sold in 2016

That’s a crazy price, especially considering the entire trailer probably didn’t cost much more than that.

[aging one]

Damn phone wont turn on or indicate charging. Busy today and leave early morning tomorrow for a vacation trip. Could not be a worse time.

Appears to be a common problem with iPhones at the moment.
Apple forcing people to upgrade...


My moan is that I've just come back home and the dog has christened the new carpet with some puke.

Why do I bother..

[Mendip]

^ That's a shame. What made him throw up, do you think...?

Not an I phone and it turned to cheer. Where I live in Don Muang there are many shops that cater to the Air Force and they are good and cheap. Stopped in after being told twice it was simply broken. "Come back in 2 hours". Fixed 200 baht. I should put this in the cheer thread.

Joe's cooking?

some things are great in Thailand and Asia, I'm sure Sausages could find a few things that work for him too

[aging one]

Little things like minor repairs, getting keys made, shoes and glasses repaired are such a treat.

[tomcat]

such a treat

...well, certainly convenient...

[malmomike77]

^^ Indeed, like getting a puncture on your step through in the middle of the wilds and you start pushing your beast and lo and behold around he next bend is a group of 4 houses, not even a hamlet and there is a bloke with a an oily extension to his house fixing motorcys, a small shop too and there you are sitting drinking a Chang Yai whilst he fits a new inner tube, all fixed and refreshed for the sum total of 120THB Priceless

[hallelujah]

My missus is the same (she's Malaysian). Her and her family can fix anything and they barely waste a thing.

I'm constantly amazed by it, but I guess it shows just what waste we are used to in the west and the ease at which we spend money.
