I’ve fallen behind on posting updates of our progress, but that should be understandable considering our moving chaos and stress! So here’s a long one to catch up on the past 2 weeks…
Monday, January 29th
We’ve assembled the majority of our furniture by the door in our loft.
Tuesday, January 30th
Our mess of a bedroom (in the house)!
Our gas meter is here to stay, woohoo.
A nice surprise on moving day was the “Herbie Curbie” (as the city calls them). I had called them numerous times to get it and they refused to bring us one until we were living there (“it may get stolen otherwise”). After somewhat bitching out a lady the previous week I didn’t anticipate it actually being here.
Wednesday, January 31st
Our first morning at the house! Patrick looking very tired – but at least I managed to find the toaster to make us bagels.
Thursday, February 1st
Rain coming through our door into the laundry room.
Water even coming out by the electrical switch – eek.
The floor is still wet from where a lake formed under our kitchen sink. We loooove our plumber!
Our view from the toilet. I thought it was kind of amusing with no door and “brown carpet”. :)
Friday, February 2nd
The kitchen built-in is coming back together.
In the process of my 7-hour journey of unpacking the kitchen.
Patrick putting “fluff” (as Melisa calls it) in a ceiling hole by the chandelier.
Our bathroom is looking a bit more usable.
Saturday, February 3rd
Cleaning the built-in bookshelf in the living room. Look how dirty it was!
We finally have a calm enough evening where we can celebrate our move into the house.
Sunday, February 4th
Blinds have been hung up in the living room so we have some privacy from the street. (And the table has been moved from the living room into the dining room.)
Monday, February 5th
The contractors were supposed to remove an old eletrical outlet from the dining room bay window. Since they haven’t done it Patrick decided to take matters into his own hands. He also cleaned up the bay window, which was covered in dust and junk.
Our driveway is starting to look more inviting. Of course we already managed to fill up our “Herbie Curbie.”
Our unfinished laundry room has turned into a chaotic storage room.
You know you live in an “under construction” house when the nail hole filler lies next to the facial cream in your bathroom!
Our sink area is looking pretty nice.
Tuesday, February 6th
Nothing to report, but we had a beautiful sunset from our office.
Wednesday, February 7th
We’ve put up the bathroom door so our guest can have some privacy.
The range vent hood is being replaced.
The kitchen cabinet hardware has been put on.
The laundry faucet box has been framed out – somewhat lacking if you ask me.
Thursday, February 8th
We spent half the evening scrubbing and cleaning the living room fireplace.
And the other half partially cleaning the front bedroom windows and putting up the blinds (so our guest can have some privacy while he sleeps here!).
Saturday, February 10th
Volunteers from Trees Atlanta planting trees along our street.
