Holy crap that's going to mean one hell of a yard sale eek
More like "How can we cram ALL THIS STUFF - into this apartment?"
Graham and I are in the middle of lowering the cupboards in the apartment.
I told my Grandma - they're WAY too freaking high for her. She's like 5-foot-nothing. And *I* have trouble reaching the top shelf. It's ridiculous. So I told her "Look - ask the people if we can lower them, because REALLY - the WORST they can say is 'No' - and if they say 'yes' - you can actually USE your cupboards"
So she asked, and they went 'Oh, we don't do that'. - so she asked if *SHE* could do it, and they said 'sure'.
So we took them down the other day, but they were put in so shittily, and the walls are so messed, that we needed a stud-finder to make sure we put them in the freaking wall properly (unlike the last people).
They also wanted to make her use the shitty shitty oven - that was rusting, and just EW!. And they said 'Oh we don't replace ovens, unless they're broken".
Thankfully they replaced it anyways! AND she's supposed to be getting new countertops ... eventually.
the place is still a mess - so thankfully we're moving this stuff slowly.
There's still a BUTT-TON of stuff to go through and sort out and shtuff, but it's getting there.
And this is pretty much HELL week for theatre.
Again, pretty much my entire time here has been: All day at the theatre, come home, eat, help Grandma pack & move until 9pm or so. gonk burning_eyes
