Lo, The Appraiser Cometh
Oct. 23rd, 2010 05:56 amSrry gaiz for the bait and switch. I know I promised some other stuff (for the three of you who care about the makeup I bought and the hilarious letter I got from the county Republican headquarters), but this is what I have right now so you're stuck with it. Also I just looked at the pictures I took for the makeup post and they're horrible. This has nothing to do with my lack of attractiveness; they're objectively horrible by any standard, as in the quality is poor and you can't see what the hell I'm talking about in half of them. BAHLEET TRY AGAIN. So yeah, that's going to be further delayed. Again, I'm sure this is only of interest to two or three people.
The lolmom has applied to refinance the house in order to take advantage of a lower mortgage rate and save about $200 a month. As part of the process, a real estate appraiser has to come out to the house. We are deeply concerned about the porch roof (status: leaky, will cave in and kill the next person who steps out there if not replaced) and the lolmom's bathroom (status of shower liner: leaky, will eventually cause kitchen ceiling to cave in amidst huge gouts of water if not replaced). The last time the lolmom refinanced, the appraiser just walked around the outside of the house, then came in and asked her about the living room fireplace.
Not this time. This time, the appraiser has to come inside and take pictures. The lolmom works third shift and is usually asleep until at least noon, which precludes the appraiser's appearance in the morning. Her initial Clever Ruse involved putting the appraiser off until Monday; he kept making noises about coming today, but was detained in Newburgh, and since I had to be at work by 3:30 and the lolmom had to leave for work at 4, she decided if he called after 2 p.m. he would be denied. We have yet to hear from him but suspect he may show up on Monday, and are trying to get the house to look like we occasionally clean. I picked up in the den and took out the trash, and the kitchen and downstairs bathroom look really nice thanks to the lolmom's efforts. (Of course, we both used the shower and I just made a pumpkin tart in the kitchen, so God knows how long that'll last.)
Which provides a nice segue into our next feature, actually.
( l33 vs. pumpkin, round 1 )
This concludes yet another tedious episode of Blurry l33 Theatre. :D
