So she rescheduled AGAIN. Not unexpected. She loves games and especially controlling people. Was Monday, then Wednesday, now Thursday. Warned for 2nd time, today or it's all out in the driveway in the weather, exposed to spraying feral cats (maybe some coyotes too). Either she gets it all today or I wash my hands of it. Not waiting around for her to decide when or if. She's a strange bird. Hopefully this 'guy with a truck' will magically appear this afternoon as promised, and take everything she left. I'm especially hoping those 3 mattresses go since our trash company will only pick them up 'by appointment' AND if each one is carefully wrapped in plastic! Yeah, it's a pain. I will be at the house today waiting and make sure she takes them. Also she hasn't returned 3 of the 4 keys for the doors. No matter, I changed them all anyway. Can't imagine why she won't cough them up except to bother me.

Yesterday...wheeeee. Got the Sewer Pump replaced. The other one was dead dead dead. Not sure why. They last forever but who knows. Nothing unusual in tank, no signs of tampering. Just died I guess. Plumber (who is awesome only charged $150 to pull out the old one and install the new one that I provided). I always buy my own supplies if possible to save money. He's more than agreeable to that. AND he listens to what I want. Yeah, imagine that? I guy who actually asks my advice as to how things should go and how I'd like them. He had the pump tank cover backwards and couldn't get the lid to sit properly, so I suggested it was backwards, pipe in wrong hole (only 2 to choose) and sure enough, he undid all of it and switched and it worked. Wheeee. Nice nice guy. And then he changed the leaking kitchen sink drain AND unclogged the bathtub which seemed to have been clogged with LINT. Interesting. All for $238. (included 10 for a fitting I didn't have) and 2 1/2 hours of hard work. I love that guy!!!!!

House is almost ready to rent. Gotta get a carpet cleaning service in to do the wall to wall which is horribly spotted and then mow, chop the back yard and it's good to go. Praying for a GOOD tenant this time around. After this last one, I think I can handle almost anything, but really don't want any more grief. Whew, need a rest.

I think I would of told her to feel free to stop by the yard sale and bid on the items that used to be hers that she is interested in.

I know you expected her to put it off again, but I'd hoped she wouldn't. Today has got to be the last straw. Gone or out there for the scavengers. Maybe get a photo of all the [blip] out there along with a newspaper with the date on it to prove she is outside her deadline and you are free to do what you want with it. I mean... she's had two weeks!

I think inviting her to a yard sale (of her ex-stuff) was a wonderful idea that Space Quest Fan had.

Offering her a 10% discount as well might make her come running and clear her/now your stuff out.

And it keeps getting better. She will never leave me. Ha. She's avoided again coming over to get her abandoned junk. Excuse for Monday was the guy who was going to help her was sick. Rescheduled for Wednesday, excuse was the 'guy with the truck can't make it till Thursday'. Thursday' s excuse was even more inventive, she was out of town and was having 'family problems'. Yeah. So I am now not being nice. Tired of her ripping me around, but still a bit apprehensive she is gearing up to sue me in Small Claims for loss of her precious stuff. So I gave her a final warning to pick up her stuff and if not Today, it would be put out in the parking area under a tarp. She of course screamed and said I told her I wouldn't put it outside. I never said that. Usual for her memory functioning. So I reminded her that she signed the paperwork (required by Calif Law) that abandoned property is now mine and I can do whatever I want with it. She got mad. Accused me of having a trauma somewhere in my past (yeah like right now) and said I needed a Yoga class or something similar to chill out. Ha! This is so funny.

Now I am entirely going to Poke That Bear and keep poking. Wrote her everything she did to me, everything she ruined at the rental house, all the dirty little messes she left for me to clean up, and everything that I have to pay to replace. Especially not happy about the sewer pump which is costing me about 400 bucks to replace. Burned out, probably due to massive use from her washing almost everyday, 2 or so loads and lint all in the pit. Also clogged tub with lint. Dunno how. So she now has a litany of things she didn't do and things I wanted to say to her forever but was trying to to upset her. She's already irrational, so I'm going for it. Don't care if she sues. I have all the 8x10 glossies and bills I need to win the case. Only problem is I will never collect a penny. Don't care. Just need her out of my hair.

Things are going out in the driveway today. On a large tarp and under a tarp, carefully placed and tied down. No animals or rain will ruin any of her precious belongings. She's now 3 days over the abandonment clause and I can dispose of anything I want. She's trying to extend the time and hinting about 'I guess my stuff is gone'. I am assuring her it's all safe and sound and will indeed be going out of the house today so I can get the horribly stained carpet cleaned and put the patio (more stuff there) back in shape so I can rent the place. She's irrational about everything, probably on some 'self-medication' and it's almost funny if it wasn't for me hemmoraging money, time and effort to get things rentable again.

Just sent off my scathing accusations telling her what I thought about her and her mess and I'm sure she will be will be writing me an email soon attacking every little thing. It will keep her busy for awhile. Glad I can now Poke The Bear and enjoy it. I'm not afraid of Small Claims. Might be fun. Even if she somehow won, she owes me a judgment already of $3300. so they could use that to pay her. Yeah.

Perhaps you should threaten to take HER to small claims court to collect your already existing judgement of $3300... a little counter-suit perhaps?

She's just a passive aggressive bully with deep mental conditions I can't identify and a need to cut down anyone who isn't her. The possible drug use isn't helping. We sent emails back and forth all night and this morning. I'm finally not giving in to her or trying to placate her anymore. I am telling it like it is. In the meantime, she is telling me that I must have had some serious trauma in my life to make me this way, etc. I think she must be talking about herself.. hehe. She says I need to do Yoga or something to calm down. Fun comment huh? Anyway, I've told her in no uncertain terms, that all her stuff in now in the parking area, safely on a tarp and under another tarp and she can pick it up anytime. I told her it's all going to the CURB on Monday morning if nobody collects it. She says she 'had a family emergency' and isn't in town. Like anyone really believes that one? I've learned. So if she wants her junk, then she better get it herself, or rush home from where ever she is right now, or get a FRIEND to pick the stuff up for her. She just wants to have everything HER way. I'm not playing the game anymore. I'm not answering any more of her emails now. No need. Let's see what happens next.

Please stick to your guns and DON'T give in or respond to her anymore. Every time you do, you put the ball back into her court.

Time to move on SortaB.

Stop responding to her.

Put her stuff out on the driveway...you've already given notice.

Complete the inventory of her items, declare it as instructed (if required) and then take the next steps with the inventory paperwork as instructed.

Keep chipping away at getting your house, patio and yard ready to rent.

Contact Good Will or another like business to come and collect her stuff after it's on the driveway.

luck

I'd still take a photo of everything with a current newspaper in the photo to show the date. I agree with Soot and oldbroad... time to stop responding and move on. What do they say about having a battle of wits with an unarmed person?

Battle of wits with an unarmed person...yep, but the winner is: "Never argue with a rock..." Bahhahaaa! Loving that one soot!

Latest news is she wrote me just a few minutes ago. She is headed back to San Diego (so she says) and please please please don't put my stuff out for people to take, please, I will come and get it.

Yeah.....I'm not believing a word. Not arguing with the Rock...hehehe.
Stuff is still safely in the driveway under a nice big tarp, and ON a nice big tarp, tucked and clipped down all over. Very neat and tidy and ugly. Hope she comes tomorrow and gets it all. I'm not in a hurry to dispose of it. Don't wanna do the inventory bit and have no idea what to do with all her PERSONAL papers. Kids papers from school, over due bills, denials from various agencies, some very important stuff probably in there like birth certificates etc. Looks like everything paper that needs to be saved. I'm not putting any of that out for the neighborhood to go through.

Such a mess she made, BUT the house is looking GREAT. Everything is fixed (pump and plumbing), Everything is CLEAN, Very nice. Went to Home Depot where I have a charge for all my needed repair stuff, and was going to rent a rug shampooer. Ended up buying a Shampooer that wasn't advertised as being in the store. Ended up saving 70 bucks on the shampooer as an unadvertised price reduction special, got a huge bottle of cleaner (recommended by the clerk who uses it), at 1/4 the price of the name brand. Took it home and learned how to use it (never had used a rug shampooer ever). After about 2 hours of pretty hard work (except that the shampooer did all the work) I saw a VERY clean rug that I am proud of again. Wow. Well worth the $153 bucks I spent for it all. Yeah. And I can use it again and again. So simple, just a lot of elbow grease required. Never thought those stains would come out.

Ready to RENT. Typing up the ads now and getting my game plan in order. Wish me luck!

Sounds like you are in the last throes of this dreadful saga. I like the rock one too! Sounds to me like she may have realized you were no longer going to lay down and let her walk all over you. I was a little concerned that she would just get even more vindictive and cause more trouble.


So, GOOD LUCK!

Put the FOR RENT signs on the doors of the house. Off street so no one will see unless I alert them to the rental. After contacting a few that I know might be interested, I will list on Zillow and then maybe post a sign out front. Lots of Lookers when I do that, but ya never know who might just be the 'one'. That's how I rented THIS house in 1978 , Saw a tiny sign in the dark on the way to get fast food and have been here for 40+ years now. Yeah, feeling batter about the house and everything. HOPE she actually appears today to get her things, if not, she's just playing games again.

She actually came today and got a 'few' things. Didn't contact me, just went down the driveway to the pile and carefully removed the clips I'd secured one side with and poked around for 15 minutes, getting some small stuff and packing it into her (what I call the old lady shopping cart), wheeled basket thingie. Couldn't really tell what she took except I did see her take an old VCR. Probably going to sell it. She carefully put the clips back (much neater than I had them) and off she went, walking towards the main street. My 89 year old neighbor and partner in crime, a member in good standing of the Oxford Street Ladies Detective Agency (formed when we had that Squatter's house snafu) actually got in her car and followed her to see where she was going. Tracked her to the main street, watched her to North and past several 'landmarks', PASSED the storage unit she says she rented, passed the bus stop, and then she lost her 3 streets up when a FedEx truck blocked the view. We are assuming she went up that side street where there is a huge Apartment/Condo complex. Probably camping out in there with someone, OR might have actually managed to rent one. All the stuff she took was small like sheets, that VCR, a box of something. Can't look under tarp for fear she will remember how she clipped it and accuse me of tampering with her stuff. Yeah, she's like that. So she finally wrote an email later, asking for just a 'bit more time because she owes a 'late fee' on the storage unit and they won't let her into it, blah blah blah." I don't believe a word. She's only had the unit for THREE weeks. How late can it be? Always some excuse. Hopefully she actually has a place and can come to get more and more stuff. I'm willing to just let it sit in the driveway (where it's not bothering anything) and have her grab what she can. I kind of am now attached to the huge blue tarp mountain, and the Feral cats are loving it. Playing on it, sleeping on it, probably crawling in and out of the gaps at the bottom. Lots of fun for everyone. Let's see what happens today. Wheeeeee!

HOUSE looking great. I'm proud of it and all my efforts. Now to get those ads going. I'm really apprehensive about listing it. Gotta get back in the game now. NEED income.

Personally, she doesn't seem too concerned with her "stuff." I'm sure the feral cats are having a heyday under the tarp, peeing on everything!
