We have been a bit delinquent in updating the blog lately but that is mainly do to the whirlwind of house activity. We wanted to make sure most of the house has to be set up by the time we moved in next week. The pre-move in check list has about 40 plus items of stuff that must be completed before the move. There are simple things like turning power on or changing the mail address and there are more complex things like painting the cinder blocks or sealing the tile. The last two items were a pain not only from a color selection point of view but we wanted some green friendly products. In the end we decided to use Mystic Paint which you can get at a cool store called Zinger Hardware on Anderson lane and Acri-Soy Sealer from ecoprocote.
Other little things that should be simple have not been. One example has been the refrigerator selection. I now know more about fridges then I ever wanted to. Our first issue that we agonized over was what kind to get. There are basically three choices, Top freezer, Bottom freezer and Side-by-side. I won’t bore you with the details but it took us a while to figure out which one we wanted since each has its virtues. In the end we settled on a bottom freezer. That should have been the end of it right? Wrong! Basically the area where the fridge goes has the potential to blocked by one of the house entrances. I’m not talking a little I mean the house door will not be able to open. This completely befuddled me until I learn about counter depth fridges. Apparently it’s the new thing in fridges. These fridges cost you 20% more for about 30% less space but they go right up to the counter (hence the name) and fit smaller spaces. I was a bit worried at first but today we got the fridge delivered and I’m more than happy about the fit, look and interior space. Take a look for yourself:
It’s now stocked with Beer of the Root which will be needed for the move.
