I recently bought a used car. It needs cleaned. Each day this week I have spent 15 minutes cleaning a quarter of the vehicle. It’s starting to look pretty good!
If I do the same with my new apartment, I’ll be moved in by months end.

I thought that they would be interested in it. They weren’t. They are worried that I might maim, puncture, or kill somebody while preparing the food.
