Barker’s Barkings.

Right, so I’ve not written for almost four weeks.

My apologies.

I’ve been really busy getting things moved in to the new house, and been sorting out what I need and what I don’t. Other than that, I’ve not been doing much. It’s really interesting being a first time home owner because there is so much to do.

As far as a little update is concerned: I’m completely moved in, and I’ve still got boxes to unpack and things to sort, but I need to finish with the typical repairs.

Right now, I have an issue where my cold water doesn’t work on my bath, but it works just fine on my shower (yes, they’re tubed differently in the inner workings of the house), what this means for me is a call to the house-insurance coverage, and see if they cover it. However, when I did what I just mentioned, they told me they don’t. So, I have to pay to have it fixed, either that or take the insurance coverage people to court because it’s something from the inner workings of the house that the insurance plan is supposed to cover. Yay for that. So coming up in the next few days, I have a plumbing crew coming to fix that, and another issue: My kitchen has one of the slowest flowing systems of water I’ve ever seen. While it’s not quite a drip, and it’s a steady flow, it’s still really slow. The other thing the kitchen has thats wrong is that the hot water takes forever, (at least 30-40 minutes) to get there. It makes washing dishes damn near impossible unless I take them into the main bathroom’s sink.. where I shouldn’t have to wash dishes.

Anyway.. As I’ve been saying.. being a house owner is very interesting.

As far as Christmas things, I set up a 4 1/2 foot pre-lit tree in the house’s sun room and have left it on since I bought it. It brings quite a bit of cheer to the otherwise (still) empty sun room.

I’ll be finishing up unboxing and sorting everything soon.. I hope. If not, I’ll probably just toss stuff in the basement and go through it when I need stuff. I found all my clothes and everything else major, but I’m not sure what’s packed away in what boxes..

I thought everyone might like an update..

I’ll update more tomorrow or Tuesday when I find out what my haul for this years Christmas is.. my main gifts are the house and the new cell phone, or so dad keeps saying.. if that’s the case, I’m okay. I have high hopes for another pair of jeans because my blue jeans are getting shot..
