Boy, owning a house is a lot more work than you figure. The seller left a fancy vacuum cleaner behind, and we thought, ka-ching, free vacuum! Well, it turns out, everything he left behind, he did for a reason. Mainly, the vacuum was broken.

Basically, the seller must have bumped the vacuum against something hard and broke one of the sides. That dislodged the brush enough so that it wouldn't turn. So essentially, it became a glorified dust buster since only the attachments work. But I was able to use it to clean the floor moldings and suck up all the cobwebs and dead bugs. But those darn floor moldings.... How often should you vacuum them anyway? There are a lot of moldings in that house. It would take hours out of the week if I have to do it every week. There's a reason why I like to enforce the no-shoes-in-the-house rule. Well, besides me being Asian, I'm also lazy and it keeps dirt and dust from being tracked in the house and requires less frequent vacuuming.

The TV the seller left... well, it's not in perfect condition, either. It's got a built-in DVD player, but that is broken. He did, however, leave a regular DVD player which does work, so we hooked that up to the TV to watch some movies while we worked.

Anyway, it's making us realize that all the stuff he left behind... he did it on purpose and he didn't really "forget" anything. Which is making us wonder... why are we going to give any of it back if or when he contacts us about it?
