I will share with you all my day yesterday
Thursday 12:00 ET. After having been on vacation for a week, I decide to drive home to move into my new house on the 15th. My lame brother and his friend bail on me and decide to stay another day since they hooked up with these two chicks. This leaves me driving 1000 miles by myself.
No problem, I got that. Drove it all in one night, long drive let me tell ya.
Friday 10:00 AM. I left the key to the storage shed with my brother in South Carolina. This is leaving me with no way to get my stuff. The other key is effectively lost since I loaned it to a friend and he gave it to some cleaning lady. A story I am looking forward to hearing.
No problem though, I drive to Lowe's and pick up a pair of 18" bolt cutters to cut the padlock off. Using all of my POWA I manage to break the bolt cutters on this padlock. It appears that Josh has purchased the world's toughest lock ever. Big thumbs up for security.
I head back to Lowe's and buy the biggest bolt cutters they have, 24". Head back to the storage shed and have another go at the lock. Broke those as well. Aside from feeling like the hulk, I am starting to run out of ideas.
I head back to Lowe's to return another broke bolt cutter and ask the hardware guy about getting through a padlock that was built like alcatraz. He reccomends a blowtorch. Liking fire I decide to give it a go. I pick up a MAPP blowtorch (whatever t he hell that is) and head back to the shed.
I start torching this lock and it is turning all sorts of pretty colors, only one problem, the shed door is as well. I figure the renter would not like this. Once again I am feeling screwed.
I then conjure up all of my college knowledge and decide to heat it up and try to cut it with my BOLT CUTTA POWA. This works like a charm. The padlock was no match. By this time it is 6:00 PM CST and I just now got the damn shed open.
I head over to my new house to find that the past tennants decided to leave it as crappy as possible. This includes what looks to be three months worth of trash bags, all their food, all their dishes (dirty and clean) as well as mud all over the house.
And did I mention that the AC was broken? To combat this they decided to leave ALL the door and windows open. As you can imagine the house is now infested with bugs of all sorts, as well as three squirrels. I managed to chase the squirrels out and decided to give the land lord a call.
Today they are suppossedly fixing the AC and sending a cleaning crew out. I sure as hell hope so
