The rich social whirl
Due to the vagaries of social planning, I had commitments to two parties on the same day as moving into my new house. One benefit is that the going-away/look-at-our-in-remodelling-process-house party for the co-workers created ample opportunity for social bonding with complete strangers over real estate and home ownership topics. But for those playing along at home, here's the To-Done list for my house so far:
* Changed locks. (Still working on taking possession of the garage door remote.)
* Got painting estimate and scheduled work for this coming week.
* Electrician is scheduled for Monday.
* Plumber will come for estimate on Monday and, if I've guessed right about the necessary hardware, might even get the work done.
* Refrigerator and washer/dryer purchased and scheduled for delivery next Saturday.
* Determined that molding installed on fridge location will need to be modified to allow fridge installation.
* Made contact with seller's gardening service -- he dropped by to schedule one more pre-paid session and I suggested we use the session to train me in the use of the automatic sprinkler system.
Today's tasks:
* Move the few remaining items from <lj user="kahnegabs">'s house and do some housecleaning there.
* Make a decision about which phone/internet/tv provider I'm going to use and make contact to schedule hookup. (A daily Starbucks session for internet stuff that is awkward to do on a phone will get old quickly.)
* Get caught up on the financial paperwork and figure out my budget for Getting Stuff Done.
* Contact the furniture container people about delivery and the furniture unloading people about unloading.
* Fix the flat on my folding bike so I can use it tomorrow.
* Mow the lawn and deadhead the roses.
I'm sure a few other items will occur to me along the way.
