I was supposed to officially move into my apartment yesterday.

The apartment isn't ready. Not by a long shot.

It looks like none of the rooms have been repainted yet. All of the internal doors are still off of their hinges.

The kitchen cabinet is sitting in the living room (and may need to be replaced anyway). There's dirt all over the kitchen and the ceiling tile around the light fixture is still missing (and the cable that runs for the light switch is just hanging down from the ceiling).

The bathroom is dirty and there's dead cigarette butts in the sink.

The bedrooms still have ladders and other equipment in them, including the knee high "sea shell" fans (I know there's a more correct term for them) that help dry paint. One bedroom looks like someone put wallpaper on the ceiling, painted over it, and it's partially ripped down- by the same amount that was there when I saw the apartment (it's also the same room that's painted dark silver and has mirrors on one wall, which is kind of neat but makes the room feel like it's about two feet wide).

The landlord was surprised when he got my message that the crew was nowhere near finished. He's been out of town (without a good cell signal) and won't be back for a few more, but has already put in a call to the contractors.

I went thru a similar situation and had to have my stuff in the middle of the construction things the positive thing though was I had a place to stay on the top floor of the same building
