This is day 5 or so of unpacking. I've lost count. Our apartment was in bad shape when we moved in. There is a significant amount of damage, like a broken screen door, broken windows, broken light fixtures, etc. Aside from that, the place was absolutely filthy, and some of the previous tenants stuff was still in there. We didn't feel like touching anything until a professional cleaner came in.
This has slowed us down quite a bit, and half of the stuff is still broken. After multiple calls to the property manager, we may get new contractors, because the ones that are working for us are pretty unreliable, barely speak English, and as I usually am understood pretty well by Portuguese speakers (and vice versa), I think that they're pretending to not understand my Spanish.
The place is still a huge work in progress. There probably won't be many more posts until we've set everything up. There goes my expectations of effortless days of exploring and tennis before pre-term started.
