House tour

The moving guys will be arriving Monday. If everything goes as plans, this week will be the first week in over a month where I won't have to look forward to falling asleep on an air mattress. I'll miss you, air mattress. We had some good times, and by "good" I mean "sometimes cold and often uncomfortable". I'm sure there will be plenty of stories once we're operating at normal capacity.

In the meantime, here are some photos of the house:

This is the back of the house. The photos came off of my phone in some random order and I was too lazy to rearrange them. That deck is where the BBQ is going to be stationed. The back door leads to our little laundry area. The place came with a washer and dryer. The dryer didn't seem to work at first, but after a little handyman investigating, I found a ton of lint stuck in the vent outside. It was really bad. Either the guy who lived here before us never used the dryer, or he just liked wearing wet, warm underwears.

The kitchen is nice and cozy. That's our microwave up there on the fridge. The electrical is pretty old here and not all of the plugs are three pronged. The top of the fridge is the only place where the microwave could go. It actually works OK up there, though I did spill macaroni and cheese on my head the other night. I burnt the top of my left ear pretty bad. I'm just kidding. The microwave is actually sitting on the dryer in the laundry room.

Our bathroom is pretty small. It's even smaller than the bathroom we had in the condo. It's cozy though and the hot water heater is in the closet just behind Jess so we don't have to wait a long time for the shower to get warm. You see how everything's green? I picked out those colors before Jess moved out because I knew she liked the color green. When she first saw my design decisions, the first thing she said was, "This would look really cool in reds." Oh well.

That's the little center area of the house. Jess loves our coat rack. The newspaper on the floor covers a very large intake vent. We haven't been running the heat or air conditioning, so it's not really hurting anything. Jess just likes keeping it covered for some reason. I think she's scared of floor vents.

That's Jess showing off our dining area. We're thinking of replacing the little chandelier above her with a ceiling fan. It's starting to get warm here and what we've discovered is that the evenings don't really cool off. It got up into the 80s today and right now at 10:30 at night, it's still like 76 degrees outside. We're going to be drinking a lot of lemonade and sweet tea on hot summer days while fanning ourselves with straw hats and saying "Lordy! Lordy-lordy-lordy!"

And that last one is of our little laundry area. Like I said, something weird happened with the photos that came off the phone, so I don't have a picture of the front of the house. I'll take more tomorrow. Sorry bout that!
