Hmm. There are no stains, nothing visual at all. And no sign of stains having been cleaned. Having been around it a while today - it is now MINE - it is rather cloying, a bit like damp dogfood of the cereal type. And I seem to have brought it home with me. It is fighting with the leakage from the place that manufactures "perfume" for air fresheners across the river. Yukk. I really can't afford to recarpet until I've sold the old place. And that means loads of furniture removing. My nose is strongly suggesting white vinegar. I'll try the carpet people and tell them about the animal smell. I tried running the summer airflow setting on the hot air system, but then read the instruction book and had the horrors. I don't want to put the power on until I've had it demonstrated by the fitter. I can't make out how the pilot light comes back on, or where it is to check. It was raining, so I couldn't have the windows open. I don't want to put the water on as I haven't taken the dishwasher and the washing machine over, so there are pipe ends which the presence of a washing up bowl under one suggests may leak. I bought some stop ends, but they are the wrong size, so I'm trying again tomorrow. Measurement reveals that the fridge will fit where I want it. There is a regimental museum badge stuck to the poutside of an upstairs window. In the same room, a poster was left on a cupboard door. When I removed it, underneath was the remains of a child's graffitti - Dad is the Man. And loads of drawing pin holes. The painting of the walls had gone over the edge of the wooden doors and no attempt had been made to clean it off. Same with all the plug sockets. I was offered the rotary clothes line at one stage, but then that was rescinded - I did not realise the hole was being taken as well. Somehow, I was prevented from seeing next doors' garden aka a motor bike graveyard. I was told the garage door was a two person job to open - not true - it would need a platoon of the Engineers. On the other hand, I was told that the lock worked on the inside, but it doesn't, and gives access to the house. There have been reports of garage doors being pulled off by SUVs with winches. I plan to block entry with the bookstacks -but I'll have to be ready to move them when the fitter comes so I can access tghe main switches. All in all, a good thing I wasn't actually moving in today.
