Do you have a hovercraft or flying car?

sorry deleted other mesg

:confused:

I'm not in a good mood today. A cow orker put dirty water into the coffee maker and I about took his head clean off. Sawed about 2/3rds of the way through and realized, they will confuse me for a terrorist, so I stopped.

dirty fucking water in the fucking coffee maker?!?!?!?

GIVE ME the saw; I'll finish the job just on general principles. fucking fuck.

...

I would welcome another roomie. I've got one at the moment and two bedrooms to spare. the commute might be a factor, unless the message you deleted was "yes, as a matter of fact, I *do* have a flying car. why do you ask?".

sorry to hear about the fucking living arrangements, man. I commiserate at a distance. I, too, have a (small, but persistent and circuitous) leak in my roof. grrrrr.

Move to lovely East Cornflake and live with me. Jobs are scarce unless you do IT and shit like that.

Research tenants rights in your jurisdiction. Have you been communicating in writing/email/text? At the very least, document your situation and (if you legally can) stop paying rent.

It's all documented and photographed and emailed to them over time.

I can see no advantage to playing legal. It's all very complicated, all the possible plays, but what I believe it comes down to is this: I have a lot of rights, but using them to preserve my status in a shithole is a waste of energy.

OK what I should do is rent a storage place, if I can find a cheap one further out of town, and start moving shit out right now. If they patch the roof I could stay, but eventually I'll have to go, so it's not a waste of time. They say storage rental is for losers, but it's actually cheaper than a dumpster. And I don't even think they can put a dumpster on this property. Does anyone in the area want my big awesome dining room table? Didn't I already ask this in this thread?

Fucking tag sale dude. Think of what it will cost to store the shit for a year and what it is actually worth as in cost to replace.

Toss anything that isn't worth the sq. ft. cost of the space it occupies.

I made that mistake once.

I'm gonna have to use a sawzall to get rid of this dining room table. And it's beautiful. It's always been an amazing table. Just so big.

Wow three ceiling level bookshelves full of books and it's kindling?

IDK It's your call. Are they built in? Books are sacred, I get that. I don't know if you are a pack rat or not. I was storing hardwoods and furniture plywood and a bandsaw and shit. At the end of the year I figured I spent about two grand to store $800 worth of shit. I could have given it all away and been ahead of the game.

You have lots of experience selling stuff. You could sell the table if it's as nice as you say. It would be a shame to destroy it when it could make somebody else happy and give you a little cash in your pocket.

Not ebay, but I bet you could sell it fairly easily on craigslist if you priced it correctly.

Is there a hole in the roof? And if so, are you sure there isn't just a guy peeing into it to see what will happen? ;)

I think you should talk to the landlord. Or is that who hasn't gotten back to you? I originally thought you meant the roofer.....

I hope they get back to you. What a horrible situation. I have no experience of renting in the US. Is there anything you can do about your credit score? is it worse now than when you started this rental? Doesn't the new, real job help?

....and apparently I'm tailposting as I missed the last page of posts. sorry. I hope you get resolution soon

I have a bit of room in my basement. Why don't you come over tomorrow night and have a look. I can't take in a roommate, but if you need a place to stay for a few days, you know I got your back. I'll have the kids over this weekend, but then I have two weeks with an extra bedroom if your roof falls in on you.
