Power is back on at my apartment! *yay* I get to move back home tonight which is always a plus. Downside is that the landlord came by on the weekend and saw that we and the people on the main floor all had air conditioning units which is not allowed as per our lease so all units must be removed immediately. Crappy. At least we're past the worst of the summer heat I think and Nicole picked up an extra window fan for me. Plus he's going to charge us extra rent for the months we had air conditioning in. It sure would have been nice if he'd actually gone into the basement apartment and flicked the breaker so we could have had power this weekend when he came by to scope out the house though. I think living in a building definitely has its' advantages as compared to living in a house. New life lesson for me :S

On the up side now that he's asking for extra money he'll be sending someone in to fix the wall in the stairway leading up to my room. It has a hole from when one of Miguel's friends was moving furniture out of the apartment but apparently the wall was damaged before, and looking at it it's not too well made... anyways, it's going to be fixed asap.

that really sucks about the AC, but thank God it's been getting cooler. Last week I was at camp and the heat was almost unbearable. This week I started preseason for tennis at my school and it's been really nice in the early morning and evenings when we play.

At least your lights are back on!

Yup I've definitely noticed that drop in temperature in the mornings when I head off to work :)

Yes indeed :) I like being able to you know, actually live where I pay rent LOL

Air conditioners are not *allowed*???

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

Nope, I suspect that's due to the old wiring in here, with air conditioners we were blowing the power at least once a week :S The wireing should be updated but it's not likely that the landlord will do that.

I guess I can understand that. I have three small window air conditioners in my house; I only allow two to be run at a time, and they can only be turned to "low", because of my ancient wiring. Still, no one is paying me to live there -- you'd think the guy could come up with some cash to update.

I'd think so too. But I'm thinking he's probably a pretty crummy landlord (see hole in wall in stairway that *still* is not fixed even though he said he'd get someone to come in this week) so I'm not depending on him for much.

lousy landlord

I'm like him, in a way. I bought a house, despite the utter lack of knowledge about how to fix anything. At least I can take some comfort in the fact that no one's paying me to do a job I'm ignorant of.
