We’ve moved houses a couple times recently since we sold our house. Most recently we moved into an older house that we’re subletting through the end of the year. It is in a great neighborhood near Vanderbilt and Belmont.
It is an older house. It has “old house” quirks about it that I forgot existed after living in our new townhouse for a few years. The first was an “old house” smell. It smelled terrible when we got here. We’ve been lighting candles and opening windows, but it still smells musty in here. Suggestions are welcome.
The second quirk was spiders. Usually I am not afraid of spiders. I’ve killed probably a dozen during move-in and we really haven’t seen any more since then. When I went to move my clothes into the closet, I turned on the light and saw the freakiest thing EVER in the top corner of the door frame. No joke. I was scared. Though I’m not scared of a spider, apparently I am scared of a spider with 15 or so babies, all hanging out in one web.
For your enjoyment, I took a picture. I hope it makes your skin crawl too.
