to us anyway, and though it's not newly built it IS newly renovated as our "old" house was! Thursday was our inspection and final out ... a week of moving and cleaning, bleck! It feels awesome to have that all behind us, but now I need to focus on the new house and getting it all organized and cute! After our big moving day (friday the 28th) we decided to do some laundry that had been waiting a couple days while we prepared and such ... come to discover our dryer wasn't working. It was squeaking a few months back and it is 8+ years old (I know, but they don't make things like they used to) so we decided fooey on fixing it, let's just get new ones like we've been planning to do (at some "soon" time) now and be done with it! Yesterday those new ones arrived, boy are they shiny! LOL! so I'm all excited late last night to do a load of laundry (remember, we've now been waiting over a week) and before bed I put the load into the dryer ... I wake up this morning and Gary has turned the dryer back on - the clothes are damp! what - we have a problem! He does like he did with the old one and takes the "tube" off the vent to feel the air, it's not hot - WHAT THE HECK! So, this nice guy (who came to our house to purchase the old washer/dryer ... boy did he end up getting a deal) who does appliance repair tested the outlet for us - half of it is dead - our dryer was fine all along. UGH. The good news is, we have nice new washer and dryer and know what the problem is ... the bad news: it won't get looked at until monday, because they don't consider it an "emergency" ... needless to say, tomorrow morning I'm planning a trip to the laundromat, yuck! Add that adventure onto our full week of moving, cleaning the old house, school getting out, preschool graduation, and all sorts of errands and other functions and boy could I use a hot bath!
... but, I've totally gotten sidetracked, this post is supposed to be about our new home, so here it is:
looking from the dining room, into the kitchen
looking at the living/family room
(ok - technically what we're using as the dining room
is the family room, and this room is the dining/living -
but whatever, it so doesn't work for us!)
the one awesome storage spot, which we won't be using for storage, ha ha
this house has a lot less storage over all: the kitchen is smaller,
there's no hall cabinets like our old house, no shelves in the
laundry room or garage, so I've been daydreaming of the
ways I can make good use of the garage for all the overflow!
I haven't actually done anything yet, but I think I'll
be able to make it pretty functional! this closet, however, will
be a toy closet!
our first house with an upstairs - ever!!!
Zoey's room
our room
the boys' room
Annicka's room
