In my last entry I mentioned that I was moving; and two days ago I picked up the keys to the new place.
Initially I had planned to start the actual moving process this coming weekend, but the showings for the condo started almost immediately (there was one Saturday and another yesterday)… So this prompted me to move a bit faster than anticipated…
So, I spent the weekend either schlepping things out of a condo or into a townhouse. And I’m beat. 🙂
During this I discovered the Murano can basically hold everything I own all at once… I put the back seats down, put down one of my moving blankets to protect all of the leather, and this creates a cavern I could probably put my old Abarth in with room to spare. I was really impressed.
The down-side to this is the garage at the townhouse is a 2-car — if you drive two Fiat 500s. The Murano just fits in the garage front to back and there is about two feet of space between it and the Jeep when both are in there.
It works, but it’s a tight fit.
As for the new townhouse, it’s actually new — as in it was finished being built in December and doesn’t even show up on Google Maps yet. This means there is a slew of fiddly little things that need to be touched up as builders aren’t horribly interested in the little details when they are building a hundred houses a month.
The location is much quieter and more laid-back than being in the Denver Tech Center and right off of I-25, which is nice. There are also lots of amenities nearby such as a dinner theater, two grocery stores, lots of restaurants, and other assorted things. And one of the bigger malls in the area, “Southlands”, is about 5 minutes away… So ample opportunity to be out and about in the sunshine.
Tomorrow the new furniture I ordered should arrive, which will be nice. Last night I slept on the floor in my sleeping bag as everything I needed to get ready for work was there and I didn’t want to drive across town from the condo to take a shower. Luckily, I have a pretty nice sleeping bag with a nice thick pad that goes under it, so I wasn’t put out at all.
Once the new furniture arrives then I need to hire someone to remove the old stuff from the condo — and after that I’ll be done!
