First modest success
It's hard to describe how filthy and disgusting a ventilation hatch in the bathroom was. I thought I could easily replace it with a newer one, but it turned out that the modern standard-size hatch doesn't fit the older frame. After wasting hours trying to figure out how to fit the hatch into the frame, I decided to just 3D print my own design. As my 3D printer can't handle larger prints, I had to split the design into several parts, and then glue them together. Not the most elegant solution, but it will do for now.
First week in our new house
Today marks our first week in our new house. Here's what we've managed to accomplish:
- Ordered all the necessary house appliances
- Replaced the current fucked up mailbox with a new one
- Cleaned up the kitchen
- Clean up the utility room
- Unpacked the essentials
- Partially set up our offices
- Registered our arrival with the authorities
- Installed a door bell and set up an X-Sense CO2/smoke alarm system
We don't have kids, but I'd imagine that owning an older house is akin having a baby. It demands constant attention, there is always something that needs to be taken care of, and you feel completely exhausted most of the time.
The moving company was way behind the schedule, so instead of afternoon, they arrived at 22:10. Chatty and super friendly movers unloaded our entire household in 75 minutes flat. Welcome to our chaos!
Our household is still somewhere around Hamburg, but we already have internet and red wine in our new house. Priorities!
Welcome to Northern Jutland!
Brezen don't like flying
They become damp and rubbery. I paid €2 to find that out.
I'm still waiting for when our move from Germany to Denmark to start feeling real. We're still kind of dazed, and it doesn't feel like it's actually happening.
Arrived to Aalborg Airport. This house is jumping.
Unsurprisingly, I'm too exhausted even to be sad about leaving Germany. I suspect it will hit us hard later. For now, I just hope for a smooth trip.
I swear we're not trying to dispose of a body. It's our cactus. That's the story we're sticking to, anyway.
