Not so good

We are, in fact, very happy with the house. That said, there were a few unpleasant surprises.

  • Total smoke detectors on the first floor: zero.
  • Total smoke detectors on the second floor: three. Number with batteries: one.
  • Number of smoke detectors with batteries and NOT placed in the corner of the ceiling where it won't really work: zero.
  • That wet feeling as water came pouring out onto my feet. From the cabinet under the kitchen sink.
  • The plumber saying, "Hey, I'm going to take this pipe assembly back to the supply store to show the guys there. They'll get a real kick out of seeing this." I'm pretty sure that isn't a good thing.
  • Meredith asking, "does it smell like sewage in here?"

But it is starting to feel like home. Meredith managed to get the bedrooms and the kitchen completely unpacked. The gas line got run to the dryer today, so we can do laundry again.
