Moving: The Aftermath
The move is complete, and we’re happily in a single-family home. The move itself took around 6 hours and it would appear nothing was damaged. However, Beth’s leather jacket and wedding dress got left behind, and of course when I went back for it, it was gone. The old complex claims that they wouldn’t throw something like that out, but it’s not at the new place and it’s not in the old place. *sighs* We now have DirecTV in the house, and it’s quite good. Comcast could not match their pricing, so unfortunately as far as cable TV goes, they’ve lost me as a customer. I also got rid of Tivo since the service package I have from DTV includes DVR service.
The fun part of trying to wire the home network back up is one of a few things I have to look forward to, aside from the usual unpacking stuff. I need to figure out if running network cable is going to work out, or if I’m going to have to get a couple of wireless NIC cards for the desktops. Unfortunately the only working cable line is in the living room, as the one bedroom had the coax utilized for DTV, one is in the baby’s room, and of course the one room we needed it in doesn’t have it. I called Comcast about adding an outlet, and they want 75.00 to do so. No thanks, I’ll pass.
Still plenty of boxes and some quirks to work out of the new place, but it’s an older house so things are to be expected. On the bright side, it’s starting to feel more like home. I should have some pictures from moving day up by the weekend
