Hanging Out

Since our renters moved out yesterday we went over today to see how the place looked and to get a start cleaning the place up so we can get it back on the market and rented as soon as possible. Chance was having a good time. We brought over his little quad-cycle so he could ride around and since there was almost no furniture in the whole place he could go fast with nothing to stop him which he liked a lot. To save on energy and since it was a really nice day today we had all the windows open while we were working which greatly interested Chance. We lifted him up to look out the window and found that he fits perfectly on the window's sill. He sat there with his legs dangling through the bars waving at people as they passed by on the sidewalk. There is very little damage to the apartment just a couple wear and tear things that are easy fixes and the place wasn't too dirty. We got it mostly clean today and were able to take pictures to get it listed for rent. We want to repaint a few things actually we are thinking of doing one whole room and are also thinking of making a couple little replacement/upgrades like the vents in the ceiling that are really dirty. We can totally see why when you rent an apartment they are always white or off white, I really want to give the place some color but it's hard when you think you are just going to have to paint it again in a year and the people who move in might not take great care of it or might smoke which is why we have to repaint one section of wall, you starting thinking really quick about glossy white paint. In each room the top 1 1/2 feet from the ceiling is white, it's the same on our side, it makes the ceilings look taller but in the apartment side those guys smoked so the white is now yellow, it's awful so that is one part that we must paint before renting it again, the other painting projects we don't have to do but it would be nice. We do our best to keep the apartment side as nice as possible, I don't want to rent a place to someone that I wouldn't want to live in myself.
