I just wanted to let everyone know that I survived my first night in the new apartment. It wasn't too bad, so that was good. I'm still furnishing the place. I spent a good 3 hours last night trying to put together the bed frame which didn't go so well. This is what it looked like this morning.
That's right, that's what three hours of sweat looks like. I reckon it would have been easier with an electric drill, but all I had was my nifty Eddie Bauer 8 in 1 gadget. So, this was my bedroom last night.
Fridge gets delivered Tuesday assuming they can confirm with the warehouse they do have one in stock which will be nice. Getting that sofa in the background into the place was kind of a nightmare. They gave me a delivery window from 11:30-3:30. Guess what time they showed up. Drinks on me here in Sydney for anyone who guessed 3:10. But what made it worse is that the delivery guys didn't want to take it up to the third level (4th floor for people stateside). I pushed and prodded and taught them some geometry, but it finally made it through the door. It's going to be a huge pain to get it back out if I decide to move at some point. But I can't worry about that now.
Hopefully the TV I want is in stock this weekend so I can have some noise at the apartment. Then hopefully one last trip to Ikea next weekend to pick up the last bit of furniture and I'll be set. By then hopefully I'll have internet at the place and can load a video of the place.
