7 Things you Forgot When you Moved in

You’ve been carefully planning this for months now, you picked the spot, the perfect price, and the neighbors are nice, even Rosco loves the place. You flip the nickel at the moving boys, close that beautiful Victorian door, a sigh a big sigh of relief. Just as you plop down on that big new couch of yours and flip on the TV you realize…

You don’t have any cable! All those trashy channels you indulged in back at your old pad are nowhere to be found. 

Alas, it’s ok, you’ll call time warner and have a shiny new cable box in your living room in no time. You pick up the phone to dial time warner until you realize.. you don’t have a phone line…

But it’s ok who uses landline anyway, you’ll just call from your trusty ol’ Apple spyware device 

And….. it’s dead! No fear, you’ll just pop that sucker into the wall and it’ll be charged in no time 

But wait…your charger.. it’s packed away in your mountain of boxes that the movers hoisted together. Where to start looking? You start furiously ripping though the boxes searching for the golden key and you’ve finally located the charger.

You finally get your phone up and running, only to realize, there’s no phone service on the third floor on East End! Porqueeeeeeee?

It’s ok, you deal with it tomorrow. All of this fussing has made you very hungry, and you open up that big fancy subzero to find…

An ice tray. Sure ice is nice, but a big boy’s gotta eat. Never fear, you’ll order one of those pizza’s from La Figaro’s right? No phone service, no problem, you’ll just order online. You just log into your phone, connect to the wifi…

But there is no wifi! Ehh fugetaboutit, you say and decide to just go for a walk and get the pizza yourself. As you walk out the door, your phone is buzzing like an angry bee…

Ahh yes it’s your broker Ted. You have forgot to pay him his commission! While you’re strolling about enjoying your sweet new place and buying pizza’s, he’s out there starving on the streets. Never forget to pay your broker, he’s gotta eat too!

So there you have it: move in day gone haywire. What have we learned? Before you move in make sure you’re stocked up with all your favorite treats (And Rosco’s too), make sure your electronic situation is in place BEFORE you move in, and make sure you pay your agent.  However, most importantly, make sure to not forget who you are and who your friends are when you move. I believe it was Aristotle who once said that the “true object of architecture is not bricks, mortar or timber, but the house.” Point is, it’s the people living in the house the make it home.
