Back in Oct, the people that live directly above us overflowed their toilet and the water came down through the ceiling in our bathroom and dripped out of the heating duct. It was a sizable puddle but cleaned up fairly easily.
Well, Wednesday night they did it again, but on a much grander scale. I tweeted about this while it was happening, but for the full story, read on…

We got everything out of the old apartment in Lansing a week ago today. I’ve still got some stuff in my car, hopefully I’ll get that cleaned out this weekend now that the weather is nicer. Here is a crappy pic of our new place taken this morning with my crackberry. We still have a lot of unpacking and organizing to do.

So, found out yesterday that our app at Chateau Village was approved. Lease signing and key pickup on Thursday. We don’t have enough stuff packed to move this weekend, so we’re going to shoot for the next weekend (Feb 12/13/14/15). Need more boxes. :/
A little background first: we decided last year that we weren’t going to renew our lease at Plumtree for a third year, and would be moving to Grand Rapids. In December Bart had an opportunity to get a job that would move us to Marshall, but we found out this week that he didn’t make the cut. So, on to GR it is.
I visited a few places on Tuesday, found two I really liked, and decided on Chateau Village today. Free Washer/Dryer in unit, free carport, and February free (so we can move anytime) pretty much sealed the deal for me. The bedrooms are a little smaller than what I saw at the other place I really liked (Glen Oaks East), but I think it will suit our needs fine. Eventually we hope to have a house, anyway.
We could be moving stuff as early as next weekend, provided our application is accepted. Rent will be a little more expensive than what we are paying now, (~$650/mo) but the W/D in unit makes up for that, since I won’t have to spend $100+ in quarters every month. The kitchen has more counterspace, which I am extremely happy about.
Just gonna make it a list.
