10 great things about getting a new house

January 6th, 2009

1) Actually parking in the garage.
2) Having a shower
3) Having a dishwasher
4) Being able to play Gears of War 2 at full volume
5) Having to remove excess kitchens and bathrooms
6) Keeping the guitars in the house.
7) Keeping the amplifiers, also in the house.
8) Not having to move furniture to make space for the christmas tree
9) Being able to leave something in one place, and not having to move it to make space for the next thing
10) Coming in the house from one street, and leaving the house on a different street. :)

Not so groovy:
- No internet access for one month (”NoooooooooooooooO!”)
- No phone for one month (”Oh well…”)
- No cable TV for one month (”Fuck.”)
- Doing one DIY job, which demands two more jobs.
- Textured wallpaper.
- Floral WC fittings
- Caramel tile in the kitchen
- Beautiful wooden floors interspersed with patches of concrete flooring.
- Trees growing through the garage roof.
- Triggering the alarm system, which could only be stopped after chopping down a small tree.

Oh what fun.

Pictures to come, following “No so groovy” item no.1.
