Why do people not take care of their stuff?

We have been in this house for 6 months and we are still just cleaning up from the previous owners.

The deck is a disaster. If they would have just kept up with it, it would be fine. Grrr.

If Michael wasn’t picking up on and repeating everything we say , I would no longer be silently cursing the previous owners.

On the plus side, it is suppose to rain tomorrow, so we can’t work on the deck tonight. Maybe a day off and a day away from those skin burning chemicals will do our spirits some good.
