Just a note, it is TOTALLY UNETHICAL to advertise a rental property as having utilities included in the rent and then putting a coin-operated washer and dryer in the basement. Particularly if you are renting to a naive couple from Saskatchewan who has no opportunity to view said washer and dryer before signing a twelve month lease. And even more so if it will cost a freaking two dollars and twenty-five cents per LOAD! I am bitter and angry. Yes I am. Use of the water and power, including that which is required to operate the washer and dryer would fall under the category of UTILITIES. Also, advertising air conditioning is useless if you are going to put a lockbox on the thermostat so as to prevent your tenants from actually ACCESSING the damn air conditioning. Damn it. I hate Ontario and I’m not even there yet. I’m in a really bad mood right now. Homesickness is starting to kick in.
Just so this post isn’t a complete bore… here’s a little something…You’ve probably seen this before but I was amused: Top Ten Reasons Why Men Should Not Be Ordained.

Wow! I am agast that they would not tell you about the washer and dryer cost or about the air conditioning- especially since you asked about them!!!!! It is downright nasty!! No, I don’t like Ontario either. (does that mean you are coming back?) Just joking. and then maybe I should not joke about such a thing at a time like this. sorry. I do have sympathy for you.
And about enjoying the “Babyness”- you just “munch” every bit you can. It seems like yesterday that Avery was that small.
Have a good time there in Saskatchatario.

Did the rental ad say it included washer & dryer? If so, I cannot believe it didn’t say “coin-operated”! Will you get a key for the AC?
