whistle while i work

it's official. i am slowly losing my mind.

i rather like my own company but this cleaning i am doing is bordering on obsessive.

the stove knobs won't come off and i want to soak them.
i broke the freezer door and told them about it but the man never called me to come fix it.

whoever put the windows in one of the doors to my balcony didn't clean in between the panes of glass so it's foggy and they know this, i saw it when i moved in but i am now worried that they won't remember.

i have vacuumed all the walls/corners/baseboards. i have cleaned on my hands and knees every inch of the bathroom except the bath tub and toilet because i am still using those two items.

all the cabinets are clear and clean. tops bottoms doors handles.

stove interior is so clean i would eat out of it if i could but now i don't want to use it again.

my fridge contains 4 beers, two things of milk and my left over sauce.

i have corn flakes.
sugar and coffee.

water.

vitamins. essential ingredient.

there is too much money at stake and from some of the horror stories i have heard about cleaning flats and getting money back i am scared to death i won't see a cent of that money again.

i didn't nick the floors, they are golden and shining.
no pictures up except one and i have no putty. i have to get putty and a bit of white paint to go over some spots.

the burners on the stove are electric. therefore they are this weird kind though that rust. they are rusty and i have no idea how to clean them. they were like that when i moved in and i have gently wiped them over and over to get the 'flakes' off of them.....i am leaving all my furniture here for the next lady that's moving in.

that's all in the small entrance room except this kitchen table. i think i have to leave the table here.

i am supposed to leave my bags with friends in basel but maybe i will take them all to zurich with me because i keep re-organizing them....

  1. Did you fill out some sort of condition report on moving in to document any issues? Photographs? I hate real estate people. They'll dick you over since you gotta live somewhere.
