Avid readers might remember that they "remodeled" the place.
Underwhelming in the extreme.
Ya see, certain people do certain things.... a kitchen cabinet guy might install prefab-cabinets.
An appliance guy might replace an appliance, a painter paints, and so on.

If there were an overall "contractor" for these widely diverse fields,
he was called away to Bombay that day.
So the cabinet-guy installed a couple prefabs, ignoring the rest of the dilapidated set.
The painter painted.
The floor guy (my hero) floored.
Biggie holes were ignored (not being a cabinet, a floor, or something to paint)

And now it's up to me to complain and risk the ire of the rent-gods.
O.
The furniture and the slobby clothes, old containers and broken small-appliances, were dutifully placed in plastic bags.
I consider this a mixed blessing.
They won't replace my moldy-oldies but they're easier to throw away.
Pretend to be a monk and discard ALL the plastic bags?
No thank you.
I squirrel through the bags and try to recreate my past life here.

(Did I REALLY own that many headphones? OMG, how wasteful)
I can't find my Wall-clock!
It's off to amazon, to order one.
The old wall-clock, being acutely aware of the time, will doubtless reappear when the new clock gets here.
(Phone-clocks are too small to read, and I can't see my watch in the dark)

TV-clocks have been known to lie to me, and getting up to boot the behemoth....is too much trouble.
So yes, We welcome you, clock of the future, long may you live (I hope)
Do I presume the debt will drop (the headphone debt) Or, that spending every last cent on Amazon's loan company is fruitless, Because they will only want more?
"The debt you will always have with you" but that dosn't stop me from coveting bigger, better stuff.
Until, as a neighbor quipped, buying a hamburger will be too costly.

"The debt will be with you always, but Black Friday is nearly gone"
Decisions, decisions.
"Is that a sale I see before me?"
"Is that a sale I see before me?"
Actually, scratch all those fantasy purchases, because real-life stuff hit me in the ass.
Let's start with my moldy clothes, which weren't worth saving.
My socket-wrench set just diappeared.
My Clock (which looked like wood) is gone.
My living-room lamp was broken and lays now in the dumpster, RIP.
My spatula, the good one, made of silicone, is gone too.
Well all that stuff (except for the spatula) costs real money.
I tried being conservative, not buying above my means, and yet those things cost money.
My trackball was missing a ball.
All those computer accessories I bought in a previous blog, came in very handy.
No money left for window shopping.
A few clothes, a lamp, a couple clocks, and the socket set, cleaned me out.

And do yew think anyone would reimburse me?
I'm already on their bad side, for pointing out holes in the wall.
They're done, done enough for photos to please the insurance-company, and they'd rather not hear from me.
Stuff is missing?
Broken?
Tell it to someone who cares.

PLUS:
My perfectly fine toilet flapper before I left, never had any blue chemicals touch it.
NOW it looks like a blue encrusted prune.
It's too damn small!!
so it leaks.
Never ever use chemicals ion the tank, it ruins flappers.
Wise men say there are 2" and 3" flappers.
But a few people wonder about 2.5-inch drain holes.

This priceless answer from "Home Depot" says NOTHING and goes NOWHERE
2.5 is exactly in between 2 and 3.
Since 2 is too small, maybe 3 cut
with scissors, IDK
"SASA" says the tank, but now I need to go check, "SASA"-what (a number)
and I'm clumsy. O crap. "Sasa 341*" (the * is unreadable, 0? 8?)

The guy who came to fix the heater peed then removed the tank cover.
He's either a maintenance guy with foresight

I'm sore from picking and choosing.
I *could* pick both sizes at around $10 each, to satisfy the gaping 2.5-inch maw, but I don't know.
3-inch with narrow wings (or something)

| Because, fucket |
The three-inch, too big.
The two inch, too small, but it worked anyway.
The flat-part surrounding the plug sort of hangs on for dear life, and a millimeter smaller would make it leak.

Now that it doesn't matter for a month or two,
"Nuflush" extra big flat part
Fluidmaster performax supposedly makes a 2.5 also, but I haven't seen it.
Now, about that slowly breaking plastic toilet handle....
