And then I come in to find they've gotten a woman (I assume one of their wives) to clean because "she's better at it." And she used Pinesol and an old school rag mop and the mop was sour and now it smells and I recleaned and it still smells and there's black smudges all over my bathroom and my tub and just...
Oh yuck! I'd call them and make them re-do it and do it right. FFS
Some pics of the new(er) washer dryer for me.
First, the original:

with a new curtain (close match to color of apartment) to hide w/d and water heater:

The pair are just over 1 year old. It has a "wash the washer" cycle, so I did that. Also cleaned out the soap dish. Lint screen was surprisingly gunky. Not sure what that's about. But, cleaned it all out too.
Not quite new, but about 10-15 years newer than what was in there. More water & energy effient. And half price of buying new. Not bad!
My first load in it is in the dryer right now. Woot!
Friday, I have "Closet World" coming by. Seeing if they have a better option than the Ikea Pax option, which doesn't quite fit inside the closet.
Trying to make progress, despite the construction crap at a standstill.
Thanks, smonster. And I'm sorry that annoying people are being annoying. And omnis, I can't even imagine your frustration with the neverending construction on your new place.
Since I killed the thread already, I might as well Sally forth boldly with a personal medical question. All summer I've been getting horrible bug bites that welt up itch like mad, and take forever to heal. The most recent bites have a bruise all around them, and the only pressure they've felt is some furtive scratching. So big, allergic reactions to bug bites, extremely slow healing (weeks and weeks), and a tendency to bruise easily. I take a multivitamin...? They tested my thyroid a month ago and it was fine. Any other ideas about why my body is being so broken lately?
I've never been given a medical reason for it. I have been given prescription-strength steroidal ointment. Which is great.
Have you been able to id what you're having that allergic reaction to? That might be a tipp-off to why the nasty reaction, especially if it there's any anemia involved.
Pix, does your multivitamin have Vitamin K in it?
I think there are strange insects this year. This has happened to me and you are the 6th person I know who has started having this reaction this year.

Whatever bugs bit me at the beach -- and I had a TON of bites on my arms and legs -- the bites didn't totally go away for 3 weeks. That's not normal.
Count me in the gang of the bitten. K-Bug too. But not CJ. Which really confuses me. If something in the house is biting, why only the girls. Or if it isn't a bug, why not CJ?
