You would think people who live in house with carpet would have a vacuum cleaner!

So I moved into my new place on Tuesday.

Why do my pants seem to match the door From Moving to 325

Took the day off work, enlisted the help of a few friends, hired a truck. Things went smooth, I really did not have a lot to move. Being a first time buyer new homeowner it feels great to have your own place, it's almost like being in a nice hotel for me! the place seems large, but the layout, style, location and everything else is perfect, so happy.

Things that are crossing my mind right now.

• I don't have enough furniture to fill this place, and when I say enough, I really don't have any! I'd really like to stay minimal and not buy stuff for the sake of acting like a regular homeowner.

• I have a wicked garage and really love it. My car is never going in it, it will be filled with bikes and bike related awesomeness. My garage is big enough that I can easily ride around in it. And I might host a few races! not.

• The bloke who I bought the house from obviously did not have a vacuum, or if he did, then he failed to use it. Pretty strange, 75% of this place is carpet, I can understand if you have wood floors, just need a swiffer sweeper yeah. It is also strange because the bloke who I bought the house from seemed very particular, detail orientated and picky not slobby. Anyway to vacing inches of built up dust n dirt from around the skirting boards is pretty disgusting. After doing one small room, it would fill the hoover bag, think i'm joking, well check out the pic. nasty.

• I love skylights, they are everywhere in my house and make a big difference.

• I think i'm gonna get wood floor put in my living room, when I save some $ that is.

• I work for a rack company, yet I still tie mattresses to the top of the car.

IKEA From Moving to 325

• Where did the other half of the IKEA bathroom man go?

• I love this from IKEA... yeah it's cheap but the functional design aspects are nice, it slides to expand and it manages the runoff water from the crockery really well.

• The dishwasher doesn't work, the gas range works awesome, looks ugly. I really need to upgrade the refrigerator to something from after 1979!

From Moving to 325

• Neon Lilly pads always look good in any bathroom.

• I need to buy more plants for my cool mini greenhouse that is attached to my kitchen window.

Well, that's it for now. If you want to send me a house warming gift, that would be cool, bear in mind that i'm picky and I like designer/modern/contemporary things, not wood carvings, dried flowers, russian pottery or other ugly shite. Go here if you want to buy me some furniture or cool stuff ... DWR
