Moving!
Today the house settles. We hope there will be no problems as on Wednesday, the sellers moved out and as it was so hot, about 40 deg C, their truck damaged the driveway and it looks like there might be over $500 of damage. They are only offering to pay $200-$300 but I have a very good real estate agent so they are going to sort it out.
Aside from that, our current place is almost ready to go. I have been packing over the last 2 months, slowly and with no type of plan or thought. I hope everything gets there without being broken! We kept all our boxes from our move from Singapore and it was a good thing because here, you have to buy boxes at US$3-5 each.
Here is what our house looks like now:
The kitchen. See how much it needs an updating?
The living room.
The basement. Well, the basement has always looked like that because I never really unpacked from Singapore as we knew we’d be out of here by the end of the lease.
Our landlady has been here almost everyday and yesterday she said she was bringing over a man to get a quote on the carpet to replace it. In the middle of everything!!! Matt was so furious, he wrote to her a very rude letter to ask her for space so we could get our packing finalized instead of workmen running around. She is panicking because she leaves for a vacation on the 12th July and wanted someone in by the end of the month.
We move tomorrow and our internet will be down for 5 days - sometimes I wish that America had the efficiency of Singapore. I will not be blogging for a week.
