HOUSE! (Not the TV show.)
Nov. 13th, 2008 08:23 amWe have a new house.
No, I don't just mean we moved into a house that's new to us. I mean it's BRAND NEW. Was just built. They poured the driveway last Friday and had it inspected the day we began moving in. IT'S SHINY. REALLY SHINY.
The floors in the kitchen, dining, and living room are beautiful hardwood - I think he said oak. The cabinets in the kitchen (OMFG AMAZING KITCHEN) are birch. Fucking gorgeous kitchen. BIG FRIDGE! With a little water spout and ice dispenser! (I've always wanted one of those.) Lots of space. Downdraft stove. Shiny new built-in dishwasher and oven. Garbage disposal (really, that's a big deal to me). High vaulted ceilings. Pretty lights and fixtures. Soft carpet in the bedrooms. OMG I'm making the coziest TV den EVER. Bookshelves and comfy leather futon and pretty hardwoods. TWO FULL BATHROOMS. Nice tile. And a full basement - nice and level and dry and USABLE. Central air. Efficient new furnace. Within walking distance of work!
You see, the old place had issues. BAD issues. Mold in the walls, ventilation system, under the floorboards, and so on. Mold EVERYWHERE. The stairs to the basement were crumbling. The basement was damp and moldy and leaked when it rained. Everything was poorly refinished. No central air, 50+ year old furnace. Poorly insulated. In short, it sucked brass monkey balls.
Now, we have new shiny house!
And... we're having a fandom get-together there... THIS WEEKEND. OMFG there are boxes EVERYWHERE. Nothing is unpacked. I need a time-turner.
And I need interwebz in the new house. That's only coming on Saturday... which means I won't be online much over the next two days... not that I have TIME to play online.
