It never ends...

I spent the day at home yesterday so that we could get the new fridge, a replacement for the dinged up dish washer, and the other set of furniture we picked out. Of course, nothing went smoothly.

To get the fridge up the stairs, the delivery guys had to take off the railing which for some reason was kalked onto the wall. Although we didn't want to yet, we now have to paint the stairway. They also put a really nice scratch in the floor boards on their way up.

The new dishwasher looks great, except that this too doesn't fit. It's about 1 CM too wide. Aren't dishwashers pretty standard in size? We're having someone look into trimming the cupboard to make it fit.

There was also a mix up with the furniture delivery, they had changed the delivery time to between 3 and 6 so I ran out to grab something for lunch. Of course I came back to a tag on the door saying "Sorry we missed you!" from Art Van. We did eventually get the couches delivered but will have to wait for the entertainment center because one of the corners was broken off.

I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but we're both ready for everything to be over and done with so we can enjoy the new place!!
