Deficiencies

This has prob­a­bly been one of my longer, if not the longest, breaks to date. Sorry about that.

So, three months later and I’m pretty much set­tled in to my new place. There are still a few things I’d like to get, but for the most part I’m sorted. One of the things you need to get used to when you buy a new condo or loft is that not every­thing will be ready when you move in. For the Toy Fac­tory prob­a­bly the biggest issue in that regard was the park­ing garage. The garage has been unavail­able since I moved in and has only finally been ready this past Fri­day. If I actu­ally needed to use my spot, I would have been way more both­ered about it than I am. I keep my car at my mum’s and, since mov­ing down­town, I’ve never really needed it, so I’ve been able to man­age just fine without.

The other thing you need to come to terms with is how long it takes for the defi­cien­cies to be fixed¹. At first, I naively assumed every­thing would be fixed before I moved in. Not so. I have had a few things fixed, but the big stuff is taken ages. From speak­ing to other peo­ple who have gone through some­thing sim­i­lar, this is pretty typ­i­cal and they even­tu­ally get done. Fair enough, I guess, and after wait­ing all this time for the place I’m sure I can han­dle it.

¹ The defi­cien­cies were all the defects and such I made a not of dur­ing my PDI. I’m pretty sure I must have men­tioned it in my last post.
