Thanks to our shiny new bikes, we were able to travel to the property agent place via a route we wouldn't otherwise take, and got to check out the covered bridge on SW Campus Way. Pretty, is it not?
And I've no idea what this plant is, but Mort took and awesome photo here:
I think the only service we have left to organise for the flat is internet, hopefully that doesn't take too long - we've become accustomed to being able to email/message people whenever. Thank goodness we were able to get the power account in both of our names, that should be enough to let us change the bank account into a joint account, and Mort will be able to open his own account if necessary. It's incredibly hard to do these things without a social security number!
So far, we've only got around to taking pictures of the kitchen, since it's so much more important than the rest of the place... Heaps of cupboards, pretty good lighting, a huge oven/stove, a reasonable amount of prep-space (helped by the dishwasher), two full-sized sinks - Luxury! Even if one has an in-sink-erator (gah!). The kitchen design is pretty sensible, with a good triangle between stove, sink and fridge. You wouldn't believe some of the places we saw advertised, several had quite low cupboards over the stove!
The only problem will be that green light-shade - it's a real hazard for Mort. I know it should go over a dining table, but one that far out from the wall will choke off the kitchen a bit. We'll probably take off the shade and hitch up the bulb to avoid scalp wounds.
Oh, and the place is full of blinds, which sucks a bit. Still, none of them are broken, and the mesh screens on all the windows should help keep them free of fly-specks.
