Move In Day

So thanks to the help from Tekman, Xyon, and Derek, I’ve successfully moved into my new place! It’s been a tiring week, transporting stuff back and forth, but my old apartment is basically empty besides some cleaning solutions, vacuum, paper towels, trash bags, and trash that I need to get rid of, which I’m planning to do next week. Oh how hot it was these past few week. I couldn’t have picked a worst day to move.

So I reserved a 14′ U-Haul truck several days ago and let me tell you, driving that is so scary yet so powerful at the same time. I feel like I nothing can hurt me, but I can hurt anything in my path. Though it was definitely more scary than powerful. I’d rather drive my Civic any day of the week. I did in fact damage something with it. I sort of crushed the rain gutter on the mail box center, but that was basically it. Total cost came to $52.xx, but it turns out they charged me $7 for the dolly which I didn’t use. Tekman and Xyon pointed that out when they saw my receipt, but when I was paying, I was too eagar to just get rid of the truck. Oh yah, we went to Anthony’s Home Port in Kirkland for all-you-can-eat crab and get to see out into the lake. Since Derek had plans tonight, their compensation dinner will have to wait.

So here’s the photos of what my house looks like after move in:

So after dinner, I came back and started building my bed, since I know if I set up my computer first, I wouldn’t have a bed to sleep in tonight.

I also made my first damage to the house while building this bed. When one of the sides tilted over and fell, it made 2 dents into the wall. Hopefully I can just paint over it like nothing happened. *Whistle*

Speaking of damage, I also made my first fix to the house. Do you see what’s wrong in the picture below?

If you had guess the blinds were on the incorrect side, you’re right. If you had guess anything else, please do let me know. Furnitue everywhere doesn’t count. ;p

Since I already build one bed and had experience on what not to do, I decided to build the second bed before I forget that experience. My plushies also needed a bed to sleep on.

And last of all of what I accomplished tonight, my office:

Oh yah, I setup my clothing and toiletries, but you wouldn’t be interested in that.
