d'ohNow Playing: Day 2599-Next GP Chapter... Turning Lemons Into Lemonade :)
Unfortunately... Here we go again with more house of a million lemons surprises!
We just paid for some minor, but mandatory concrete repairs over the weekend. What we didn't realize, until the contractor came back this morning in order to pick up a few tools that he accidently left behind, was a huge separation starting in the garage. Of course, it happens to be right where the living room fireplace is located. Next to where I sleep, on the other side. Silly me, assuming... The safe side. HA!
Let's face it. There is no 'safe side' to this house. It didn't take very long, but a mere discussion with the contractor and a call to the civil engineer, before realizing that we can no longer sell our home. The house is a complete loss due to another round of major foundation shifting, pulling and sinking. Not only is this not very good news, but definitely not safe. We were hoping to sell the house, 'As-Is.' With this mornings latest findings, we are unfortunately going to have to proceed ahead in a very lengthy ligation battle. What we both don't need as far as stress. Eric had a very long day on the phone, reaching out to the bank and other parties with our next step which seems to be like a very meticulous game of chess. I never really liked chess anyways...
Back to sifting through rental properties. Another very interesting game of chess. It's been years since looking into a rental home. What I didn't realize, was how much things have changed. Renting a home is ten times harder than buying a home. This isn't a joke. It's an understatement! The problem we keep encountering is not only outrageous rental home prices, an average between $1,500-$2,000, but as well a mixed breed Snoreo being labeled a ferocious breed. HAHAHAHA! We have even had to go so-far-as to provide proof via copy of Snoreo's DNA report from Mars Laboratory. Yes! It is THAT ridiculously RIDICULOUS out there in today's society when it comes to renting a home.
I don't get it?.
I assume that maybe, I will never understand how you can label a mixed breed family pet as a direct ferocious breed when he is mixed with 4 different types of breeds?. One of them being... A West Highland White Terrier. Heeheeheehee! That is where Snoreo gets the pure white undercoat that is now starting to show on his belly and legs. When asking if they accept children and certain breeds... The response has been PRICELESS! We like to make sure to have folks understand that if you are going to sound absolutely silly saying that a mixed breed dog, is a ferocious dog, when you accept dogs. Then we are going to ask if you have the same policy with children. This might sound a bit funny to some folks reading this blog, but we actually had two private owners tell us on the phone as their response to our question;
"I do not allow children. NO kids under the age of 5. You can not have more than 2 children. My rental property was destroyed by a young child, so therefore we do not accept children."
One rental property we found online last week read in big, bold letters: NO CHILDREN-NO CHILDREN-NO CHILDREN. Eric looked at me and said, "Should I text them and ask if they allow children?" Heeheeheehee! Need I say more on the difficulties we have been facing on a mixed breed Snoreo? Our extremely loving, big baby, beyond spoiled-almost to a fault, four different breeds, MIXED BREED fur child. Heeheeheeehee! Myself and Eric have gotten quite a few chuckles while sifting through rental properties. I assume our great 'House Hunting Adventures,' might find itself having a great 'House Rental Adventures,' sequel one day! Hahahahaha!
The fun never ends, but isn't that what makes life so gosh darn FUN and quite ENTERTAINING?! Not only true, but it helps keep our minds off of far more serious matters. My health. So... As we go back to the crazy game of chess, figuring out our next move, literally. Our so-called ferocious breed, mixed fur child, GERMAN SHEPHERD Snoreo, has an ancestor that just won the most famous dog show of the entire world!
Rumor, the German Shepherd took first place, Best In Show, at the most famous dog show in the world!
The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
I feel for the next person that dares to say that Snoreo's mixed breed, German Shepherd is a ferocious breed. I can't wait to finally have a corrective response! I am sorry, but your information is incorrect. Snoreo's 1 in 4 breeds, a mixed breed German Shepherd, is the best in the world after his breed just won the Westminster Dog Show!
T-A-D-A!
