Seriously

None of the tenants in our building want to renew their leases. Why? Well, the grass, stone, etc. that was promised never showed. There is garbage everywhere, we can smell whatever anyone else is cooking, our windows leak, blah blah blah.

Our landlords heard about everyone's displeasure and decided that a big clean up would do the trick. So they showed up, wrecked our water system for a day and "cleaned." This cleaning involved far more work for me...they sprayed the windows (our windows leak) and then hosed down the doors (our doors really leak). I will mention that they did come in and mop up the small pond that developed inside our front door.

As the landlord and his crew are leaving, he turns and says, "tomorrow we bring carpet." Bruce and I figure it is a translational thing and he is going to start paving, putting in stones, whatever. Nope, he meant carpet.

Here is the before shot:

VOILA!! Carpet right over the sand outside of our villa.

Here are some close ups of the wonderful colours that they chose.

Bruce felt very important when he told the guys at work that he parks his car on carpet.

Uh. still not renewing our lease. Can't wait to see what the first wind/sand storm does.
