So, the new place.
It's in overall good working condition.
It's far too big. But we aren't paying as much as it should cost so it's not like we're hurting for it. I just need to adjust my mindset because I am feeling silly for having so much SPACE.
Also, I had absolutely NO IDEA how much stuff it took to get set up. I had NOTHING a "homeowner" which I'm not but a new apartment renter isn't as catchy. Luckily my dad was prepared to get me all set up. With all those things I didn't know I'd need or didn't think of. We took two trips to Lowes. I have TOOLS and a step ladder and better lighting and extension cords, and adapters and lots of stuff. And he carefully talked to about half a dozen workers about exactly the best kinds of everything and what a newbie like me needed and thought of everything.
He also though of things I would have forgotten. Like a vacuum, a can opener, a drain catch thingy for hair in the tub, pot holders, a toothbrush holder...
Everything. He helped me note all the things the landlord needs to know about fixing or just about the condition of the apartment. Like the storm window that fell out onto my head while I was sitting on the floor looking for a screw. Yeah, I didn't have to go to the hospital...well...I should have but didn't. Yes, an entire storm window fell out at the top when I touched it by accident and came down on my head parallel to the floor.
But enough of that. PIcs now!
This is the kitchen. It's small. But ultimately, nice.
This is the living room, very spacious. First room you walk into.

The dining room. Oh look, more space.
A view of the stairs and built in bookcases between living room and dining room.
No pics of upstairs for now, I couldn't get pics I was happy with. Maybe when we decorate and settle in I'll try again.
