Wow. I can't imagine an apartment complex of 50 buildings (x 6 apartments in each = 300 apartments).

This is what I was told by the maintenance man. How true it is, I don't know. It is older, so maybe they just kept adding buildings. It does cover a lot of ground.

(((Ford))) good to hear you're making progress on this, but not so good to hear it may be toxic stuff you're dealing with. When going thru a tough time I always remind myself "This too shall pass". Just take it day by day and it will all work out. So sorry you have to go thru this.

Thanks Deb. That is what I am trying to do. Hopefully whatever is wrong, it will be fixed and we can forget about it. I will let everyone know when I get the test results. I had a dream last night that woke me up. I dreamed that snakes were coming through the linen closet where the opening is to the slab and the bathroom where the standing water is located.

Once I walked by a gate in the pasture and saw a rolled up black garden hose coiled around the corner post. . I thought, who left this here? I didn't even know we had a black garden hose.

You guessed it, it was a big ole' black snake sunning himself. We both survived to tell the tale. Barely.

Ford, I hope things work out well as you were so happy to find this new place.

I still think we will be happy here. We are hoping for the best.

Ford, as I write this, I hope you and your daughter are sound asleep and getting the much needed rest both of you need.

I'm glad to hear the inspection was done and should hear something by mid next week. This is the last thing the both of you need to deal with.

Please keep us updated; I was so hoping you and your daughter would be able to enjoy your new living place. If I'm not mistaken, I thought I read she had a scheduled visit to her doctor about her Lymes. I sincerely wish both of you some good times very soon.

Someone else in this thread said that if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck. She was right I guess. I just saw two of their maintenance trucks pull up and two men got out and did a walk-around the outside of the apartment. They probably know we had the inspection done because they undoubtedly saw the truck yesterday and I guess might have been checking out what the inspector was looking at. I think they know they are in trouble.

My family was going to come this weekend to further help us with unpacking, but we have decided to stop unpacking now, not because we are thinking we will have to move, but because there will be people in here while we might have to leave for a few days, and the less unpacked, the less likely someone would be tempted to take something. (See how trusting I am?)

Erin did go to the Lyme doc yesterday and he told her she has made no progress. She cannot go to the "next level," whatever that means. So I expect her to stay in bed most of the time for now. She probably overdid too much and didn't stick to her diet. We are both pretty depressed.

Thank you for your sincere wishes, HisElk.

One of my fave names ever.

Thank you JSS!! And if you looked at her and was asked to guess her name, that would be your guess. She's a tiny little thing, just 5'1" tall, with black hair (now streaked with gray) and huge blue eyes. She has dimples and up to getting sick, the most adorable personality, always giggling and laughing. Everyone loves her, guys went ga ga over her, she just had "IT."

I know, there goes Ford bragging about her kids again! [It kills me to see her this way.]

You just go braggin away all you want, Ford, I do the same thing! LOL I am so sorry she can't go to the next level but she will get there, Lyme is nasty and takes time, Erin sounds just beautiful too, like her Mother is, inside and out. I love blue eyes and black hair, even with some white, who cares. You both are amazing examples of strong women who perservere sp. in this world.

I hope you get an answer soon, Ford. I was sorry to hear about these problems. I am concerned that with Erin already facing so much she doesn't need to be exposed to anything else. I know you will be on top of it for her and I hope this works out for you. If not, then there must be something better out there for you both. I pray whatever it is...you will find it soon...whether it be a solution to this or a different place.

Eeeks...........Just to be safe, close the bathroom door and stuff towels along the bottom of the door. Keep it closed until they fix the pipe and everything else. One would think that they have already repaired the outdoor pipe, which is causing most of the trouble.

One chooses one's battles in life, and this is one well worth winning. I wish you well, Ford!
