Does she squeak when she comes?

[Eagaholic]

offer to bang her for 50% off on rent, facial extra

Anyway, the basement is unfinished so I'd like to throw some type of flooring down to put some gym equipment down there then add a play area for my daughters shtein. They sell stall mats which are used in gyms and horse stalls but they're pretty expensive. Anyone have any cheap recommendations for flooring?

Went with this, 240 square feet for $150 shipping included.



The reality company that's trying to rent the apartment I'm in now [we're moving Thursday to the new place] calls me every day 3 or 4 times a day to show people this place. They've had 5-10 people through here already and we tell the prospective tenants how awful the landlady is and how much shtein is wrong with the place. I asked the reality company to stop calling me from a blocked number, yet they keep doing it and I refuse to answer because to me it's like they're trying to trick me into answering the phone...so farg them. They leave me at least two messages per day wanting to show the place. My landlady contacted me last week and I told her to stop bothering me and that it's not my job to be here so they can show the place. I told her when May 1st rolls around and we're long gone then she can show it to as many people as she likes. She has the audacity to give me shtein about doing her a favor and showing the place for her when she wouldn't do shtein for me for the past 2 1/2 years except cash my checks. farg her I hope this place sits for 6 months.

List of shtein I hate about my current apartment in no particular order:

Landlady wont' fix shtein, washer and dryer broke and she tells me tough shtein

Rugs are ugly as sin and needed to be replaced 10 years ago

The basement leaks...bad. This is fine when it's just a basement but it's finished and my room mate is living down there. There's mold and the most she would do is get a cleaning company to clean the carpets. Even they said cleaning the carpet when there's a leak is stupid.

We've had mice

Our upstairs neighbor [her brother] deals weed out of his apartment. He's one of the most racist people I've ever come across. He never says shtein to me directly but he drops the N bomb upstairs all the time...especially when the black city workers are working outside while he's sitting on his ass smoking weed.

Parking is horrendus.

There's a train behind my house which is loud as shtein...the conductor likes to blow the horn at 2 AM at least once a week

The Puerto Rican guy who lives across the street from me and is an icehole had a gun stolen from his house a few months ago

My neighbors dog was randomly attacked by another dog who was off it's leash. Had to get surgery which cost $3K. They don't know which dog it was but there are so many dogs off their leash around here so who knows.

The neighborhood is slowly turning into Moscow.

There's probably a bunch of other shtein I'm forgetting but that's the gist of it. Good farging riddance.

I'm done ranting now.

farg my landlady .

If there's mold in your place, that could be a hefty lawsuit.

We're already preparing our small claims court appeal when she fargs us out of our security deposit. After year two our security deposit was supposed to go into an escrow account in which we were supposed to be paid interest...I asked her to furnish the banking account our money was in and she has yet to.

Holy crap man, I'm glad you're getting out of that place. I'm also glad I live in the sticks!

[Geowhizzer]

Have some major work to do on my property, so we bought a chain saw today.

I'll be called Ol' Three-Finger any time now!

[phillymic2000]

Sweet, what brand? size? blade type? I bought a Dolmar 20" with a chisel tooth to clean up part of our tree line this winter and love it. The right saw makes all the difference!!

[Diomedes]

I hate it when the Reality Company calls.  They're always telling me some shtein I don't want to hear, like "Life ain't fair."

[Seabiscuit36]

SD forgot the part about the squirrels attacking

Nice Geo.  Just watch the downcut, towards your thigh and shins.  I got a MS260 Stihl a month ago and it was worth every penny and more.  Thing cuts thru foot thick honey locust like a hot knife and butter. 

[shorebird]

You can't beat Stihl, for just about anything from weedeaters to whatever, especially chain saws. The main thing about operating one is never get complacent. Respect the saw. The minute you forget or lose sight of how bad they can farg you up, it'll farg you up.

[Diomedes]

I see a lot more Echo weedeaters on landscaping trucks than Stihl.

[Seabiscuit36]

Echo weedeaters are the best out there imo.  I ended up going with a stihl straight shaft weedeater, but its a pita to switch from the trimming to the blade.  Stupid design.  My brother in law has an echo, same price, and its a million times better.

Yeah, that's the kind I got.

Getting some pointers from my dad before chopping stuff up.  I used to help him out when I was a kid living in Chesco, but that was a while ago now.

EDIT:  Check that.  It was an MS250, not 260.

I'd just like to point out the obvious here....if you lose finger(s) operating a chainsaw, then I'd say you probably deserve it.
