#which I mean in terms of catharsis good riddance
Text
A vent post/condensed list of my grievances regarding the state of my current place of living. Well, partially to vent and partially as a cathartic way to keep tabs.
Either way, there is no amount of commission I could do to improve this. I have lived here for maybe two months, and all of this was found out through experience and not actually looking for problems.
To preface, I know the question. Why didn't you get a home inspection? Well, you see, had I been involved in the buying process I would have.
It was heated with open flame gas heaters
Undisclosed roaches
Stove top is rusted so bad there's a line on one side that's just missing (not entirely sure if the oven works actually)
Two windows lead nowhere
One window shattered
One window removed and replaced with ply board. There is a window ac unit caulked into it.
That window ac unit does not have a filter… only old dish towels stuffed into it…
Something also lives in that window ac unit.
water pours into the garage when it rains
It looked like a junkyard (we had to rent a dumpster and even that wasn't enough)
There's a blanket hung on the wall, it's hiding a giant spot… I don't know what the spot is.
the furnace is all sealed off, including the vents
the wiring is ALL fucked (and might also all be piggybacked)
there is a circuit breaker AND a fuse box
A single bad outlet may have taken out the power in 2/3 of the house
I don't think under the trailer is insulated at all… There is a fan that leads under it to move warm air down there, intended to keep the pipes from freezing.
The bathroom floor is not secured, and boards are popping up
There is no ventilation in the bathroom and the walls have pieces taken out
pretty sure one of the pieces is screwed in over where the ventilation used to be
there is a draft in the bathroom so bad, that on windy days it blows the bathroom cabinet under the sink open
the toilet is less than two inches away from the claw foot tub
why is there a claw foot tub in a trailer… the step up into it is too high for my mother and there is no grab bar for safety
There is at least one hole in the roof that I suspect an animal lives in
While writing this list I was informed it was indeed a bad outlet which has since been replaced, but also “It is replaced, but the wires are too short and not attached very good” so we cannot use
I also don't think they understand that this is an active fire hazard
I don't have a bedroom, I have a bed in the living room
There are three doors that lead outside. One is the front door. The other two are held closed with boards. (honorary mention the door that leads to the garage, who's handle came off in my hand)
#I am simply at a loss of what to do at this point#There is only so much I can repair myself with zero experience#And self or professional repairs still cost money#So I'm just kind of at the point where I'm just sitting here like... soooo do I just live with it? Or what?#I'm convinced if I just ignore it all the place is going to burn down#which I mean in terms of catharsis good riddance#But also my pets and my me and my everything I own is there so I would also rather it did not#Open to suggestions I guess!
