We Can Start
So the landlords wife called me yesterday to give me all the utility information for the house. After she gave me all the numbers (we finally have city water again, SCORE!) she also asked if we wanted to go ahead and start moving in. I of course was like “OMG yes!!!”. So she told me where the spare keys were hidden in the garage and we are getting copies made today. We started some small stuff last night, taking over a load of rarely used kitchen stuff to sit on the counters, etc.
Today we are going over and cleaning out the kitchen cabinets and starting to set them up. We’re also going to unpack the stuff that we know is going into the built in shelving, etc. Then we’re going to be going to setup delivery for the living room furniture we want.
I still can’t believe that is my house. It seems so surreal. Growing up where I did in Akron, Stow was one of those cities I dreamed of living in, because only “rich people” lived there. Now I’m living there. It’s so crazy to wrap my head around. Just goes to show how some childhood views stick with you into adulthood.
I also got my camera fixed I think, so I will get some pictures of the house today. Until then I’ll just post my crappy camera phone shot I got of the fireplace last night after we got it setup.
Wow, I am so happy for you! I hope you enjoy setting up your new place! :D
Thank you!
Congrats! The fireplace looks so cozy!
I know! I can’t wait to use it!
Congratulations! :D From the photos in your last post, the house looks gorgeous! A fireplace is such a nice feature, too; I have a wood-burning stove in my room, but unfortunately it isn’t maintained (hopefully we’ll be changing that, but at this rate it won’t be until next winter :( ).
Good luck with moving in, I hope it goes smoothly!
Oooo I would totally want to fix the wood-burning stove too! They are so nice and they help cut down on the utilities :D! Thanks for the luck!
YAY CONGRATS!!! That fireplace looks so nice. I flipped through the pix you have and I really love the woodwork all over the house! That kind of built-in decor is my fave. :D
Thats my fave part of the house. All the old natural wood and built in shelving is just awesome!
Congrats on the house. I agree with Melissa, it looks like an awesome fireplace. I hope you’re able to get everything setup smoothly so you can really make it ‘home’.
Congrats! That’s one thing that I have to have in my dream house… a fireplace!!!! We’ve never had a real fireplace and I’d love to have one! BTW, I wish I had enough money to afford to move into a nice and cozy house. I have never had a house of my own… my grandmother (caregiver) had a house, rather it was “our” house, but I’ve never had my own house. I can’t wait till that day comes true!
I hope you’re enjoying setting up the new place! That’s a nice looking fireplace. There’s nothing like doing something that would shock your childhood self :)
That is so exciting. I am so trying to get my own place and its just not easy where I live. I am working on a new car first but my savings isn’t working well until after the holidays LOL
Congrats on the place. WOO WOO. I hope you’re enjoying the new place!
