And despite all the talk about the housing shortage, it wasn\u2019t easy to find the right tenant.

The great thing is that I didn\u2019t have to tear down any walls, but the downside is\u2026 now I have to repaint every single room. I plan to tackle it slowly, one room at a time. It\u2019s a bit discouraging, but I\u2019m trying to break it down into manageable parts to avoid mental overload\u2014just one messy room at a time, a limited<em> scope<\/em>, and staggered expenses.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3024\" height=\"3024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cosses-de-batterie-corrodees_2025.jpg\" alt=\"Cosses de batterie corrod&#xE9;es\" class=\"wp-image-31349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cosses-de-batterie-corrodees_2025.jpg 3024w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cosses-de-batterie-corrodees_2025-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cosses-de-batterie-corrodees_2025-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cosses-de-batterie-corrodees_2025-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cosses-de-batterie-corrodees_2025-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cosses-de-batterie-corrodees_2025-400x400@2x.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3024px) 100vw, 3024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>And for more good news (insert irony here): my car broke down during a torrential downpour. It turned into a brick right in the middle of IKEA\u2019s parking lot. Thankfully, my dad lives nearby and came to jump-start it. I eventually figured out the issue\u2014corroded battery terminals\u2014but since I\u2019m not an expert, I still brought it to the garage to have the alternator and starter checked. That little lack of confidence cost me $40!     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2790\" height=\"2790\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sur-le-petit-train-du-nord_2025.jpg\" alt=\"Sur le petit train du nord\" class=\"wp-image-31351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sur-le-petit-train-du-nord_2025.jpg 2790w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sur-le-petit-train-du-nord_2025-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sur-le-petit-train-du-nord_2025-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sur-le-petit-train-du-nord_2025-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sur-le-petit-train-du-nord_2025-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sur-le-petit-train-du-nord_2025-400x400@2x.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2790px) 100vw, 2790px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Thankfully, my boyfriend tried to pull me out of all this stress. He insisted on taking me biking on the <em>Petit train du Nord<\/em> in the Laurentians.
