Well, yesterday was moving day. It was definitely a sweet sorrow. Sarah and I will definitely miss our safe, sweet, quite apartment. We have less space since our house will be shared with four people total; although it will be nice to have that company. Moving went extremely well since our previous landlord paid professional movers to move everything for us. So after 2.5 hours all of our belongings were at our new downtown/north Fargo home.
It hasn't been lived in for awhile so there are a lot of little things that have been fixed or need to be fixed. One of our most recent discoveries happened while showering. Since it is an older home, There was no shower head from the wall. So maintenance put one of those removable hoses that run from the faucet. Well, the water pressure is similar to someone blowing water out of a straw. Not pleasant. Well let me tell you that this showed took a really long time. Since there wasn't proper pressure there was zero steam. As a matter of fact, the 6-inch radius that the water was hitting was only somewhat warm. My toes actually went numb. true story. If they don't do anything about this water pressure I think I may resort to not showering throughout the winter. Our other discovery happened earlier that day when I decided to try our brand new washer and dryer. We found that when the washer is running it cuts off all water to the upstairs bathroom. This may be an issue once there are four people showering, doing dishes, and laundry.
Well as you may be able to tell, it is a very interesting old home with the squeakiest floors, walls with stories to tell, and things in boxes waiting to be unpacked. I will hopefully take some better pictures once unpacking is done. For now here are a few snapshots to show you our 'old' apartment and our 'new' house(click to view larger image).
