My new tenant arrived yesterday from NM. He seems pretty nice and really likes his cats. I foresee him spending a lot of time on the big front porch! He was sitting out there when I got home last night.
The house already smells a bit like cats. It's just his stuff that was moved in. I'm a bit nervous the place might smell like cats after he moves out but hopefully a good cleaning and cleaning some carpets will help.
He likes to cook and to garden. I suspect he might stay on top of me to keep the front yard looking a bit nicer. It's probably good though. I'm super lazy about yard work and I hate doing it. I kind of need to be obligated to get it done to keep me motivated.
He's promised to bring me some chocolate from his work. Sounds like a bad plan huh? Guess it's supposed to be healthy chocolate that they sell at whole foods.
We got another room painted and now we have 1 more to go! I added the total for all hours put into painting and getting that house ready. So far we have spent 66 hours, taping, cleaning, patching walls, and painting. That's a lot of time! I've put in 26 of those myself but I feel so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family that have been willing to come help!! Pics to come soon!

Simply green works amazingly well getting cat smell out of rooms....Believe me ;) At least that is my experience....And like you said, good carpet cleaning
Surprisingly, with all the fosters I had & my own cats ... I was able to get the cat smell out before my tenants moved in (that was 4 years worth of cats). As long as he's pretty clean about them the smell will come out! Crazy, but true :)
I think it is SO neat that you have rental. I have been thinking about it a lot these days as when I was married we had a 4 plex. I can do all the financial stuff, its the fixer-upper stuff that scares me. Good Luck w/this guy. We have a cat; she is very clean, lets hope your tennant is clean too. XO
