Yeah, since I have one uncovered window in the LR, and the basement ones are as well? No.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I was pissed on Thursday when I got to my building's laundry room at 7:30am to find that all five washing machines were already being used.

When I got home that evening, at 6:30pm, when it's usually crowded, it was empty.

JZ and Matilda are currently at the laundromat. After almost 30+ years of laundromats I can't even imagine the luxury of just doing a load. I get to haul two 80 lbs bags up and down the stairs and down the block

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

We have a coin-op washer and dryer on the premises, which is convenient.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, using a laundromat is usually worse than sharing a laundry room in the building I live in. (I say "usually" because a laundromat is less likely to have every machine in use.) The last time I had to use a laundromat on a regular basis was in '87-'88. The laundromat was about 5 blocks away, and usually I'd be lazy and drive there....

My leak adventure gets more interesting: it isn't just that the water is coming in under the door, it's coming through the door. As in, through the panels. Oh my god. When I made the offer, I wanted a credit for all the doors, but no, seller countered with replacing this one. There was a reason I wanted to do it myself. Anyway, storm door will solve this and I now know I want to caulk and heavily repaint this (new) door. And, since I have the receipt, I am going to call the people who did it and bitch. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll do the work for free.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've preferred laundromats to apartment building laundry rooms -- the laundromat has more machines and is less creepy, on average, IME. And they have change machines. I do know I've been lucky in that usually the laundromat has been less than a block away, at the furthest.

This is the type of door I'm putting in: [link]

I'm turning into one of those people, aren't I?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, sarameg, nothing pisses me off more than people doing a crap job at what I've paid them to do. Kick them.

Also, nice door.

I didn't pay, but still. The company he hired does a lot of new construction work, so I'm kind of surprised it was so shoddy. So they will hear from me.
