I've been camping out in a single livable room in my rental property next door to my house since a week after Katrina with a mattress pad on a bare foundation and a couple of plastic yard chairs.
My brother-in-law took me to get something to get my (new) TV and computer off of the floor. The TV cabinet we got (from Walmart) had no instructions and 100+ little bolts, clips and other doodads, so it is in limbo. But I now have a computer stand and chair (from Office Depot) in the corner of the room and it is so nice to not be hunching over the monitor on the floor
I was trying to not buy any furniture until I can have warped wood floors and disloding floor tiles removed and replaced but the FEMA trailer they told me would be would be days away several weeks ago is likely to not arrive for many more weeks, if at all. Most of the people around here that have actually had them delivered have them sitting locked up on their property, not hooked up. My mom's has been like that for weeks.
Anything I buy while living on this rental side needs to be able to be moved without major disassembly over to my place when livable or be left here. Anyone who has ever had rental property can tell you why I don't want to furnish it too extravagantly
I've got to go get at least a single bed for over here tomorrow or the weekend. My back is about dead now
I'm trying to coordinate finding a car and getting my brother (the family mechanic) to make sure I don't get screwed. Once I get there my whole day to day will get so much better!!!
