Inspection

this is something that has been coming for awhile now, but has been fiercly ignored by the residents of our home, including me. Our landladies want to do a walkthrough inspection of the house as we are nearing the end of our lease agreement. The house is a mess! Dishes overflowing from the sink and onto the counter, mail strewn about all over the kitchen and living room, random crap everywhere else... but that's not what we're worried about. For the last 6 months or so, we've been trying to grow grass in our backyard. The grass died shortly after we moved in, so we decided to till up the lawn and plant new grass, after removing the jungle of weeds that had slowly taken over. This was a good plan, in theory. We soon realized that the lawn was cursed, doomed to fail from the beginning! As soon as we planted the grass, the rain started. It didn't stop for 42 days straight. The second time we tried, flocks of birds devoured every last seed we put down. Highly discouraged, we are trying one last time. We hope to ward off the birds by keeping a sprinkler on at all times. So far, I think it's working. If we manage to schedule the walkthrough late enough to see a few sprouts of grass coming up, at least it will look like we're trying. Right now, it's just a big pit of dirt. Ideally, the inspection will come after the 18th. Grass or no grass, I'll be gone!
