I've finally got everything out of the old place and moved over here. Of course that doesn't mean that everything is done. I've got a garage full of boxes and a bunch of boxes in the dining area and living room. I suppose I'll be slowly unpacking over the next couple of weeks. I also need to finish painting the living room and dining area. I wasn't able to finish painting because it was so time consuming due to all the trim. Until the painting is done, I can't put in my bookcases and unpack the books.
My new gun safe was delivered Friday afternoon. The delivery guys had a heck of a time getting it into the house. They had to bring it around through the back yard and take the back door off the hinges to get it in. Anyhow, the main thing that bugged me was that a number of people in the neighborhood were out and about and took quite a bit of interest in it. It was kind of hard to miss, since they had to unpack it in the driveway to unbolt it from the pallet. I had hoped for a discreet delivery, since I didn't want to advertise it to the neighborhood.
Anyhow, for now I'll be taking it slowly and unpacking a little bit at a time (mainly so as to let my aches and pains subside).
Posted by Aubrey at October 21, 2003 08:19 PM | TrackBackSlowly is the way to take it. We've been in our new place 6 weeks and finally bought a stove yesterday. I've been cooking on the Weber and a Coleman stove, and there's still a few unpacked boxes. But I have never been happier about where I live in my life. As a side bonus there is undeveloped southern Wisconsin kettle moraine (glacially formed) terrain accross the road, and I discovered a wetland of approx 80 acres that you can't see from the road fed by a stream with an endangered species of sunfish in that the state will not allow development near so we should have rolling prairie land to look at for the foreseeable future. And this 30 min. from downtown Milwaukee.
