The House


Given what we've seen of the neighbours (young people with kids) and the amenities around here, I'd say we definitely made a good choice with our house purchase. The house itself is going to take some time to settle into. It's smaller than our Richmond house (which I miss quite a bit!), so it's been a challenge to arrange our furniture. So far we've painted our room and Henry's room, put new carpet in the office, replaced the dishwasher (the ancient one that conveyed with the house blew up and spewed water everywhere a couple weeks ago), and had some electrical work done so that we could have a full-size washer and dryer in the basement. For those of you keeping count, we've now purchased three dryers in the last 18 months (the first one perished in the Tropical Storm Gaston flood, the repalcement stayed in Richmond, and now we have a new one).

Next on the list is getting a closet organizer for our bedroom (since we can't fit a dresser in the room) and painting the downstairs (still thinking about colours). Once I get a job we're going to spring for a kitchen renovation, too. But that will be it for the major stuff (I hope).
