Well, we're finally pretty much all moved in to our new house. 90% of the boxes have been emptied and we've even started hanging pictures up on the walls. I haven't exactly kept up this blog all that well during this process, Getting a house, and moving in was a much more intense experience than even I (a person who hates change) has been able to handle. But we did make it through it, and we're really happy here in the new house.
The garage is one place where I hadn't been able to make any progress, until today. I got out there and cut a padlock off the garage door track that I don't have a key to, and found that the garage door opener works fine, which was good news. I did discover though that whoever wired the electrical up for the garage apparently didn't know what the heck they were doing. There's a light switch in the back hallway of the house that when flipped up, turns on the power for the garage and four lights on poles in the back yard. That's crazy! Why would you want to turn on four yard lights every time you want power on in the garage? I'm going to have to track the power lines down and try and split those yard lights off from the garage so they can each be turned off and on separately.
I still have a couple of minor plumbing issues I have to tackle yet, I was hoping to take care of them in the next couple of days, but I may have to wait another week to do that. All in all though, everything has gone pretty smooth and it feels really good to be a homeowner.
