Welcome to your new... mess.

The apartment was not ready for us when we arrived late at night after our crazy air travel adventures. Apparently the landlords fell behind their renovation targets when Seattle was hit with a snowstorm in December, making it hard for them to get to the apt. building from their home outside the city center. They had given us some forewarning but I hadn’t anticipated arriving to such a mess. There seemed to be junk everywhere I turned. It made the apartment seem smaller than I had imagined it and the mess was making me tired just by looking at it. The landlords were working away when we arrived which made the first tour rather awkward. We slept that night on an air mattress in a much less cluttered room but there was sawdust and plaster dust everywhere. It was a not so lovely introduction to what would be our new home.
