It is that time again ladies and gentleman. Time for a stuff I learnt in property management post. And this one is super doooper fresh because in the last month I, personally, have done 60 routine inspections. Learn from the master…
- Most people have a laundry room stashed in a spare bedroom or large closet where they dump a million and one pieces of unfolded laundry. I used to think that I was somehow defective because I couldn’t manage to wash, dry, fold/iron every piece of clothing I own on a weekly basis. Now I know I am definitely not the only one. By a looooong shot. There you go, thank me later for the relief you are feeling.
- There are some stains on carpet that you will never, ever get out and the only option is to replace it. You might as well deal with it now while everyone is getting along. I don’t even know what these stains start as, but they finish as dark grey, ingrained splashey looking marks. Not a good sign.
- If a dog pushes past you to run into the house faster than you can take your shoes off even though the pet owner is standing at the door it is an INSIDE dog. No ifs or buts about it. I have never seen a genuine outside dog do this ever. And I have been doing this for a while. And here is the hint if you are trying to cover this little fact up… We know. Stop yelling naughty dog at the poor thing, it must confuse the hell out of it later.
- That saying is it okay if I go in there? and getting a yes doesn’t mean that there won’t be someone sound asleep in varying stages of undress in there or a gamer behind that closed door madly tapping a keyboard who squints at the light you have so unreasonably let in and gives you a deathie for said offence.
- That some lawns and weeds just grow faster than others. I have seen one house where the grass is less than 5cm’s and there is not a weed in sight and visited the house next door to be told that they did the grass over the weekend and now look at it. All 15cm’s of it. And those weeds, well I just don’t think you understand how quickly they grow or that I was getting to them, tomorrow.
- Some people don’t care if you see their jocks. They know you are coming. Some even walk you through the house. And still, their jocks, in whatever state, are lying on the bedroom, bathroom or living room floor and there is not an eyelash batted. Or a blush in sight.
So there you go. Don’t you feel enlightened? Good. Carrying on, my work here is done.
Small PS… If you have an online store or something that you would like to give a bit of a flog. I am putting together a give away to celebrate hitting the 2010 goal of 200 followers. I want products or services that I can give away. Did I hint at that clear enough? anyway, want to join in? Please email me and give me details of your item if you would like to be involved. I’ll let you know if I think it will suit {which it probably will, hell, I’m not very choosey}. Thank you.
