We’re living in Badger Towers 2, in the 2nd bedroom, our stuff is all piled high in the first bedroom while we sort out the rest of the house. There are several things I wish I could do in this situation.
- Change clothes outside of the bathroom (we have no curtains)
- Eat a meal in my own house (no kitchen or fridge)
- See my dining room without a cement mixer in it
- Let Steev out in the garden (no back door, no guarantee she’ll return)
- Unpack
- Have plumbing which doesn’t DRIP
- Not to have to scoop Steev’s poop out of a litter tray in our bedroom
- Use the internet at speeds faster than 17kbps (avg speed of mobile broadband in our house)
- Not have to listen to Kings of Leon/Empire State of Mind/Plan B/Take That or Flashdance every two hours (Builder FM)
- Keep the windows open to watch TV (makeshift aerial poking through)
This is like camping, only with running water, no shitting in a bucket and not being woken up by the bastard early riser family in the next tent who play football against it at 7am.
