It has been a busy five days or so, but things are finally starting to settle after the move. Everything pretty much went as scheduled come move day. The big surprise was that it only took two hours to get everything out of the old place and cleaned up; nice!
We spent the weekend unpacking, shopping, unpacking, more shopping, etc. I ended up scooping up a new TV and also got the hookup on a FREE couch. I still have a lot of stuff in storage that we are going to try and get taken care of later this week. Below are some pics of the new place. But first, a few things to keep in mind:
A) I’m a guy, so I go for practicality over an HGTV-style fancy layout.
B) As a guy, I would rather buy cool things over fancy furniture, etc.
C) The walls are very plain, again everything else is in storage as of now.
Again, free couch with a slipcover over it. It’s comfy so thats all that matters. I can see the TV from my computer desk, so that’s a plus. Also, that table in the far corner works great for photographing review items.
Workstation area…
Kitchen with bar area, all low which is a plus. The dining room on the right is kinda small and there’s some stuff there that I am waiting for Adam to pick up.
Nice size bathroom (tub is on the right behind the door)…
Bedroom… pretty plain. There is a TV in front of the bed against the wall.
The closet is HUGE!
So far, everything is working out very well. I finally have fast internet and real cable, woohoo! Not having roommates means I can control the A/C how I want and even lounge around in my boxers if I want. There are only a few things that are less than favorable so far. The first is the water pressure in the shower, which is incredibly low. Also, I need to adjust the hot water temp. as it is really low. At the hottest faucet setting, it is only just “warm” to me. And finally, I will need to get a land-line phone or change my cell number, as the access gate to the complex has to dial my number to let guests in and my number isn’t local.
A huge thanks goes out to Keith and Airica for helping with the move and also Matt for the free couch and Josh for helping out as well. Couldn’t have done it without you guys!
