Not yet to WordPress or similar, but in fact to a new apartment.
I’m exhausted, and no longer in a good way. It’ll take another week to make the place not-filthy, but it will indeed be kickin’.
Can you imagine me living for probably about a week without an operating kitchen? Well, it’s about to happen. The floor in there needs to be stripped, primed and polyurethaned; more importantly, we have no stove.
Well, it could be worse: we could’ve had no stove and no refrigerator. The ones in here, you see, are in hte process being replaced by various methods. We have the fridge now (following a day’s worth of helping to procure it – but now we have exactly what we want!); the stand-alone chest freezer, which we’ve been coveting for months, is coming on Tuesday; and the replacement stove should be here Any Day Now.
The last three weeks have been nigh unto insane. We searched for a place, thinking we might need to be out of town at the end of August (when my original lease ended) and ready to break the lease. We found a place we fell in love with (pictures etc. when it’s cleaned up). We searched for someone to sublet our apartment, or else draw up a new lease, a process that quickly turned into an unreal, nightmarish chain of people expressing enthusiastic desire to take the place off our hands and then disappearing. We finally found someone, and she signed the lease on Friday. Well, that was close. Oh, and we moved.
You know what? I love this place.
yay!
congratulations!
i’m on an apartment hunt now :( :( :(
my landlord decided to sell the one i’m living in and i’m out as of end of june…
Having just done without a kitchen for a month, I feel for you. The remodeled one still seems strange and alien to me, so at least you won’t have to make that adjustment – you get it right the first time.
While you wait for the stove got a slow cooker handy for soups and stews?
And why wait for the place to be cleaned up to snap a few pics? Why not contemplate some before and after makeover photos?
Congrats on sorting out all the details and enjoy the nesting….
Yay on the great move…even though I am a bit surprised that you even voluntarily moved in to a space with a non-operational kitchen. Must have been quite an apartment…
Duchess – well, the kitchen *will* be operational by the end of the week. At least, that’s our hope. We were counting on the work being done sooner, but in any case, it’ll be worth the wait!
That said, I can’t wait.
Francois – why no pictures now? Well, because I didn’t feel like it. :)
No soups, nor stews: don’t own a slow cooker, and don’t particularly want one. Plus, since the kitchen is a mess, washing dishes in it is more than a bit unpleasant.
Thanks! We are indeed enjoying the impending nesting.
