So Kevin and I have been living in the house for a month and a half now. We settle on Friday so we'll finally own the house instead of just renting it. The sellers were supposed to get the rest of their stuff out this weekend (they still have the dinning room and two of the bedrooms full of stuff) but they didn't. Apparently they are instead coming Wednesday morning. Which means we need to take time off of work to be here. I'd rather them not do it while we're out of the house. Especially since their using movers.
I guess I haven't talked about the house much here. It's in the 'burbs. Yes, we're not living in the city anymore. No, this does not mean we're socially dead. We're still making it out to get togethers when we can. For a while we were occupied with repainting the porch for inspection. That took a lot longer than we thought it would. We had to scrape and sand first and that probably hadn't been done in a couple decades so there was a lot of that to be done. We've also been working on cleaning out the front and back yards. There's so much ivy and other weeds to clean out. There's also a handful of badly located trees we'll have to get removed. *sigh*
So anyway, the house. It's a four bedroom house with a basement and a finished attic. There's also a dining room and a small sitting room. It's got a huge backyard where we plan on planting veggies and herbs and a few hazelnut bushes. I've never had a yard before, so I'm enjoying the yard work so far. I'm sure I'll get tired of it soon. Hehe.
We probably won't get the place ready for a housewarming until either October or November. We want to get a second bathroom set up before we have a large group of people in.
Work is going well except I was supposed to have a raise starting Sept 1st (well I thought I'd get it July 1st, but that didn't happen either) and there's still no word on what it will be. At least I'm told it will be effective Sept 1st so I'll get backpay on my raise when it does go through.
