One of the great farcical pieces in this whole neighbor saga has been the rumor/likelihood/bold-faced lie that they will be moving ANY MINUTE NOW. It hasn't happened yet, but the rumors are circling, and I think they might have a ring of truth to them this time.
The rumor first started after that disastrous first summer here (I never wrote about it? Seriously? Damn, I have some writing to catch up on...), when Kevin told them that if I said word one they were gone. Words one, two, and several more have been said, and still they remained.
Every once in a while they would talk of moving, or Kevin would talk of evicting them. It didn't help that they owe him an extraordinary amount of back rent (I have heard everything from 5K to 23K), so moving wasn't an option, and Kevin always pulled back from tossing them out.
Dan moving out last summer was a serious glimmer of hope that things would mellow out (and they would move out), but even once Wendy moved out to be with her boyfriend, Josh and family have remained, despite being a pain in the butt and not paying rent in a regular way.
Kevin said a while back he was NOT going to rent to them directly, and he's standing by it. The incidents of the last blog seem to have solidified them leaving, but there is another complication - Kaitlyn had her baby. Like, just now. (she only looked five months along)
She's a cutie (very jaundiced), and they haven't figured out where they're going to go yet. And with them being two teenage parents and FOUR kids now, they're going to have a hard enough time trying to find anywhere to live, even without the social niceties issues.
I also talked to Kevin and he said he didn't say Tuesday, so he has no idea where that came from.
But the "we have to move" came from Josh himself. So we'll see. More postings later, I hope.
