Everything is moved. Tried to set up TV and gave up in despair. They detached everything. Found Roku but not cord for TV. Can't find Amazon streaming device. Tangle of wires that are stereo and TV. Also computer but think I can figure it out. Was hoping to sit back and watch some TV tonight.
Best thing to wait until morning. Start unpacking boxes in library. Possibly missing items ended up in one of them.
Poor Lucia left alone in strange place for hours.
Have my Bose stereo so can hear a little music. Haven't had proper meal since lunch yesterday.
Part of me wants to sit down and have a good cry but that solves nothing. Wish I knew a nice techno wiz.

Sorry to hear. To bad I don't live down there. I could set that all up for you in a jiffy. You will get it figured out. Before you know it you will have everything where it needs to be in your new house and you will find comfortability...Lucia too.
 
I hope. This is a community so maybe someone is a techie. Found Xfinity streaming device. Still can't find TV AC connector. Will check tomorrow to see if it got left behind.
Lucia and I are exhausted but at least we have a bed to sleep in tonight.

My mattress is still on my floor at the moment. No shame, new house! High five!
 
Now, you just need someone special to share it with.

 
I have someone special. Lucia. Really doubt ABM will introduce me to the woman of my dreams.
Speaking of Lucia, she had a blast chasing kitty toys in and out of boxes. Turns out Xfinity internet never turned on here so they are coming tomorrow. I wonder if they will set up TV? Someone supposed to come this afternoon but cancelled. Dryer hooked up. Appliance guy wanted to know what his cat was doing in my house. Showed a picture, looks almost identical. His also former feral from same area so possibly cousin. Locksmith tomorrow.
 
Locks changed, dryer hooked up, stereo assembled. Couch arrives tomorrow. Been putting up pictures.
Enjoying having a dishwasher. All the cooking I do, washed all dishes by hand.
Wild windstorm today. Lamp in deck blew over, bamboo blew out of the ground. Rainbow door mat ended across the street in neighbor's yard.
 
For @crandc--not sure if this belongs in this thread or the "cats" one. Either way, I'm sure Lucia approves.

Lucia had settled happily. She loves the big deck. Still a few things to fix. Front yard looking better. Soil still bad despite loads of compost but plants growing. I think a lot of people must use same landscaper since many yards look alike. Mine is different.
 
Living room, dining room, library, bathroom, bar.

You don't have a house, you have a home!

And I love all the bookcases!

NICE!

Nice....I have that same sea foam green paint on the walls in my living room.....lovely home you're putting together there! Thanks for sharing!
 
More turquoise than sea foam. Cell phone camera not great. Front part turquoise, Lucia's room and laundry room emerald, our bedroom lavender, library red with black blinds, exercise room and bathroom peach.

I think mine was actually called tropical sunset but it's always been sea foam to me mostly due to guitar finishes being called that color...at any rate I like it ..

Very nice home @crandc ! I shudder to think about how much a place like that costs in the Bay area!

It's a 55+ community so not so drastic.
Wish list: replace hideous Formica counters. Add curtains to living room and bedroom. Bathroom floor didn't look bad, compared to rest of house but now that rest of house has new floors it stands out like sore thumb a lot of flooring left so mostly labor. Want screen on back door so I can open it in warm weather without flies getting in or Lucia getting out. Continue to improve garden. Biggie is deck repair. Main thing getting it move in ready.
