LMH rules and regulations state....

When we were preparing to move out of our Gateway home last August I was given a four or five page list of things that needed to be clean before we moved or we would be charged for each item. On the list were the outside garbage bin and the recycling bin. The charge for each if not cleaned was $35. There was no way I was going to clean them. I was just going to pay the fee, but I have the worlds best dad. He cleaned both of the bins inside and out for me, and guess what? When the housing lady came to check out the house and clear me to leave she didn't even check the bins. Poor dad did all that nasty work for nothing. All this being said when we moved into Serra Mesa I figured that whoever moved out was given the same cleaning list and had done the same things that I had done. I also figured that if the previous occupants had not done everything on the list that surely the LMH cleaning staff had taken care of it. WRONG!!!! We moved into the dirtiest house. I had so much cleaning that I had to do. I was so disappointed. Of course I noted my displeasure on the move in sheet I was required to fill out.

Now onto the above picture. Yes that is David, Christy and Shadow cleaning the outside trash bin. I have been literally afraid to touch the trash bin with bare flesh due to the disgusting nature that it was found by us in. Last night I noticed paint that had been peeled off some surface in the house and discarded by the stairs. So I went on a mission to find who had peeled the paint and where it had been peeled from. Both of the girls were the culprits. Christy's spot of peeling is in her room by her bed, and Shadows choice for peeling is the master bedroom door frame. So I left it up to David to decide on a fitting punishment. David decided that the girls could clean the trash bin. Before the girls did their part David emptied the bin and brushed and hosed it off. Then he gave each girl a scrub brush and he had control of the hose. It ended up being more of a game then a chore. The girls had a fun time playing in the water, and now I have a clean trash can!
