Day 23 - 03.03.2012

Since we moved house two months ago, a lot of things have gone wrong.

Here is a running list of what we have experienced, which I think is a little more than average.

1. The cat died. 
2. Mr Sponge got electrocuted changing a light bulb. It was an old chandelier and the casing surrounding the globe was metal and it touched a live wire…… 
3. We are over-run with black ‘sugar’ ants in the kitchen. I think it might be sitting on an ant hill! We can't leave any food out.
4. We had to get the air conditioner installers back three times before the air conditioner would work properly. Now it's dead again. We will try another company for the fourth fix. Real nice when it's 36 degrees.
5. The sewerage system blocked up from the house to the street and we couldn’t use the toilet or the laundry or anything. It was rock solid chock-full of poo at the outlet in the street! There was poo coming coming out of our kitchen sink and in the driveway!! 
6. We had a very active wasp nest in the backyard. I called a wasp person that the council recommended and had to pay for him to throw some talcum powder on it (that’s what they use!) and take the nest away. I have since found another one out the front…. I think I’ll just leave it be! 
7. A neighbour has been throwing rotten apples over the fence! I caught her red handed doing this.
8. A particular relative has started writing crazy letters again.  
9. Mr Sponge's beer has been exploding in the outdoor kitchen.  
10. Tenants won't sign a 12 month lease unless we put new electrical work in an asbestos shed, we build a gazebo in the backyard, we install picture hooks for them and a few other things.
11. There is a big leak in the roof. I could hear water gushing in when it rained last week.
12. The hot water service stopped working.
13. My computer keeps malfunctioning.
14. Someone has opened their car door onto our new car, denting it.
