Ruminations on newhomelife
I've learned a few lessons living in the house for 2.5 days. They are, in no particular order:
1. Just because the toilet is brand new DOES NOT mean it is immune to clogging.
2. When unpacking, make sure you locate the plunger early on and put it in the bathroom. (See #1)
3. When you see the first scratch in your new wood floor, you shout "SHIT!"
4. Entire walls of outlets may or may not work. This is a subtle hint from your electrical subcontracter that he misses you and wants you to call.
5. When you see the second scratch on your new wood floor, you shrug and sigh.
6. Some lights will not turn off. Some lights will not come on. Put the contractor on speed dial and be done with it.
7. When moving in, don't just pile boxes in the garage. They will never get to their final destination. Bring them all the way in and set them up where you intend for them to be placed. Most of the time this should be the garbage dump.
8. When you see the third scratch in your new wood floor, you regret not putting cheap ass carpet all over the godamn house.

We're in!
It has finally happened. We're in!
And there was much rejoicing.
