Tomorrow is the big move-in day! Our handy cleaning service arrived early this morning, most likely happy to find that the main part of the house really did need much work, other than a light dusting of the newly stained floors and some bathroom cleaning. Any happiness they may have felt at finding the main house so clean may have evaporated when I showed them the garage, which included enough cobwebs that it looked like the giant spider scene from Lord of the Rings, as WELL as the strangely placed urinal next to the water heater (I’m pretty sure there was a spoiled banana peel in there too, but I decided to let them verify that for themselves).
Assuming that the gas company came and turned everything on, we’re good to go for tomorrow, which will include a bevy of house appointments:
9AM Movers arrive at old apartment
9AM Trash haulers arrive at new house (through some fancy black hole science, I will magically appear at both locations simultaneously)
12-4PM DirecTV shows up
2-3PM Cable shows the upper hand by only needing an hour window to do their work (Internet!)
AND at some unknown point, Sears will show up with our fridge (they seem to find enjoyment in keeping the timing a surprise…)
Stay tuned for pics from the move-in!
I love that Direct TV is top of the list for move-in day!
DirecTV was high on the list, but the last to leave! They were there until 7PM!
I should add that we also had someone there to estimate exterior painting…I feel like I should be a licensed contractor at this point.
