[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8394921, member: 59816"] Here's MY (admittedly first world) pandemic problem: I bought a preconstructed three-bedroom condo (four years ago) to give my kids their own rooms (they were sharing, and they're teenagers now). Delay after delay hit our build [I]before[/I] the pandemic, and the pandemic has made it worse. And worse. Anyway, they said they'd be done by the end of July. So we sold our two-bedroom. They missed the end of July, but told us "for sure" they'd finish by the end of August. We were able to push-up our move out day until August 15. Well... As you know THAT came and went. They now say "Maybe October?" The hold-up is apparently some parts for one of the elevators. They can't source it, for whatever reason, and in spite of 99% of the building being finished, the City won't sign-off on occupancy until it's done-done. So... I have been living (plus wife, two-teenagers, and golden retriever) in the back of my Comic Store. One room. No shower. No kitchen. (We have an instant pot, a toaster, and a microwave, and a beer fridge). I think I might go insane in a week or two. We'll see. (I admit, as far as problems go, and what with people dying in the world, my troubles are lightweight. Privileged, even. I recognise it, absolutely. Still sucks, though!) [/QUOTE]
