Today is one of those days that I just want to shoot the idiot who designed our house. It is the stupidest house ever and I'm not sure what the crazy person was thinking.
My kitchen is shaped like a triangle. There are 2 entrances into the kitchen, which is handy. The designer thought that the correct place to put a refrigerator was at the most convenient entrance. We are constantly having to circle around the other way if someone is in the damn fridge. Someone always is.
The master suite is a mess. You enter it through the master bedroom, then pass through the bathroom (and no door between the bedroom and the bathroom, because who the hell needs that, right?) to find yourself in the closet. The attic access is in the master bedroom closet. So, basically, if we need our AC serviced (which we do at least once per year), then the techs have to go through our bedroom, bathroom and into the damn closet. We're constantly finding insulation coating all of our clothes after the guys are done. I know they're careful, but that shit gets everywhere. Not to mention that they're usually there when we're not, so I just imagine that they've gone through my panty drawer and my toothbrush has been somewhere disgusting.
Then there's this light in our loft. We noticed it on our initial walk through, and thought it was odd, because it's placed directly above...nothing. It shines on our landing 12 or so feet beneath it and is not accessible at all by ladder. In order to change this light bulb we would have to erect a scaffolding of some kind across the pony wall that surrounds our stair case. That's not happening. The light just went out this year (after 11 years, so it had a good life). It will never, ever be replaced.
I tried to get a good shot of this stupidity, but I had to lay across the bottom of my stairs just to get this:
I think it's time for a new place.
