We have internet and TV at the new place. Of course the cable guy showed up late (you’d think the 4 hour window they give you would be vague enough that being on time shouldn’t be a problem, but no), but I’m happy as long as I have internet. So isolated without it, nerd that I am.
We cleaned out our old apartment and it was harder than we thought. Our apartment manager has changed twice since we’ve been there, so the current manager wanted to charge us for a bunch of things that were already problems in the apartment when we moved in like nasty baseboard heaters. We also forgot to clean behind the fridge and stove. Fortunately the manager was reasonable and let us go back in and clean a bit more and let a few things slide after we explained them to her. We got out with only about $70 in carpet cleaning fees and such.
It already seems like the unpacking will never be done, although Kim made a huge dent in the mess today while she was waiting for the cable guy. We ran into a problem setting up our tall four post bed. First we realized that the ceiling was too low to screw the posts on while the bed was already up so we took it apart. Then when we went to put it up we discovered that the ceiling is about a half inch lower in one spot so not all the posts fit so we have to leave the tip of one post off. Then the bed was super wobbly because we put the side slats in the wrong holes. We’re getting the locks changed tomorrow and we don’t know where we get mail yet.
We really haven’t had much time to enjoy the new house yet, but I can see that once things are in their place it’s going to be really nice. It’s a good thing that we don’t have other people moving in yet because it would be absolute madness I think.
