We've been happily in our new home for a couple weeks now, still trying to work out new routines to get things back to normal. I thought I would give an update on what we've been up to
Shades
We finally (today actually) had our blinds installed on the house. It's amazing how much you miss coverings on your windows until you don't have any. Steve Spicer came out and did a great job installing 2" faux wood blinds on all our windows, so we now have some privacy.
Home Entertainment:
We finally bought a TV and blu-ray player for our home entertainment system. We bought a plasma that has the capability of viewing 3D videos along with normal 2D.
Home intranet:
I learned the hard way that Time Warner Cable blocks you from enabling DHCP on their cable modems. This is very frustating, but also about as useful as locking your car with the windows down.
I got around it by installing Apple's Airport Extreme wireless router and now I'm up and running.
Ikea:
We needed several furniture pieces to make the house comfortable. We spent a day at Ikea in Charlotte and bought everything we needed. After 2 days of assembly we're enjoying it.
