Today’s big activity involved the arrival of the wicker Porch furniture from Home Depot. When we got up this morning, we checked the UPS tracking website, and it said the delivery was scheduled for today between 9 am and 7 pm - no more specific time than that. So we sort of hurried up and went over to the new house earlier than we’d planned. We took a bunch of stuff to do thinking it might be late afternoon before the UPS truck came.
Well, much to our delight and surprise, the truck pulled up about 11:40. The other part of the surprise was that all 5 items were in boxes and had to be assembled. WHAT? I thought it would come off the truck and go into the room and we’d cut off a few tags and be done! Hubs and I then spent the next 3.5 hours assembling… and that doesn’t include all the time it took him to cut up all the boxes for recycling. Loveseat, 2 chairs and 2 end tables.
As it turns out, all of the the photos I took of the assembly process include Hubs, so I will try to get some furniture-only shots to post tomorrow.
I can, however, post our new forsythia plant that Hubs planted in the back today. We actually got one for each yard and planted both today, so we’ll see which does better.
Tonight’s big shopping trip to Meijer included the purchase of a microwave and coffee maker. We’re getting there! We have not yet received the estimate from Columbus Handyman, so we have not finalized the carpet order yet. I’m hoping that will come tomorrow or we will have to wait until next week. As of now, no plans for the next 3 days.
