I shopped my arse off yesterday to get the stuff we need for a functional house. Found the fridge, dining table, and the as-of-yet undelivered washer/dryer and computer desk on TradeMe (kiwi version of Craigslist). Most everything else from amazing sales - $40 spa towels for $9.99 - 50% off the $500 microwave!!!! And Joe got a TV that meets his standards, so he's quite happy for now. We watched The Lego Movie last night and everything is awesome!
The ONLY thing that kept this weekend from surpassing all others is the fact that one of our circuit breakers is broken, so we have no heat or electric in the bedrooms. We don't really know how to re-program the HRV system to only heat the living room, which is where we slept on air mattresses last night. Also, I apparently don't know how to keep a fire going for more than an hour.
Apparently our rental company doesn't work on weekends, but I'm sure we'll get the electric issue fixed on Monday and the few other minor things we've noticed.
All-in-all, we are very pleased with our new adobe and hope everything works out so we're here for a while.
Ok wait, you lost me at $500 microwave.
