Settling In

Well I feel like we’ve had a pretty productive weekend. We did a ton of work on the house (although there is still much to do!) I think our biggest accomplishment was fixing the old leaky faucet for only 10kr! We brought the leaky cold-water tap with us to a few hardware stores, but no one knew how to fix it. We finally ended up buying new hot and cold water taps for 350kr, but in the end we managed to fix it with a new o-ring for only 10kr! We took the taps back to the store and celebrated by finally sitting in the jacuzzi and opening a bottle of champagne (to celebrate our new house!) (We were previously unable to fill the jacuzzi because of the leaky faucet problem, and were too tired to open the champagne last weekend when we moved in!)

We also sent the contract back to the phone company on Friday, so maybe; hopefully, they will connect our phone this week. I’d say that internet would soon follow, but that’s really just wishful thinking now, isn’t it? As for TV? Let’s just say I’m happy we stalked up on DVDs in China; who knows when the stupid phone/internet/TV (Telia) company will send us a cable box. We should seriously bill Telia for all of the hours (MANY) that we have spend calling their customer service over the past few weeks. Seriously, why should we be punished just because we want to keep our old phone number!

Not much else to report unless you want to see a list of all the things we did around the house this weekend. The list would be long, but perhaps boring. ;)
