The pile of boxes has diminished a lot, all rooms are functional and we took a break from unpacking to take a walk. The pup loves the low living room picture window where he can check everybody out as they walk by. Our street is a dead end with a walkthrough path to the next street. Makes it quiet which we are enjoying!
We took a nice walk to explore a bit and have been to the critical 4 of 5 stores for settling in - Trader Joe’s, Safeway, Target and Home Depot. Just CVS to go to hit the main 5 lol. We have ordered dressers and unfortunately also a microwave as the one that came with the house makes a very loud strange noise. A new dryer is in our near future too as it took a very long time to dry. Do they even make Kenmore dryers anymore? The washer is great though. I have doubts about the frig so ordered a frig/ freezer thermometer as well as an oven one just the make sure the temps are right.
The upstairs family room with balcony and vie of the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay is really lovely. All in all it is good 3 days in!
You are going to love it there, aren't you. So happen you're in your new house and will make it a home soon.
ReplyDeleteI think we will once we meet some people to do things with other than family. It does take time and we have been here just a week!
DeleteYou probably already did this, but thought I'd mention anyway... might not be the dryer. The vent to the outside may be clogged. Also, I really need a photo of dogo looking out the window, too cute!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your suggestion we double checked and the vent is clear. It is just old and not efficient I think but will try it one more laundry cycle.
DeleteHow wonderful that you are getting settled in. Enjoy your new home and the view from the upstairs.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Still have you on my prayers list as you continue to settle into your new home. Have missed following your progress but haven't stopped thinking of you. Hope our life can settle down - I am always saying that - and I can visit your blog more often. I need pictures!!! Need to see pup peeking out the window and the view from the upstairs family room.
