Still offline…
Like I feared, AT&T was not ready to hook up my internet on Monday like I had hoped. Now the big turn-on date is Thursday, but I still wouldn’t be surprised if it it moved back to next Monday. And no, it won’t be ready in time for tonight’s big fantasy football draft. I’ll have to start my defense of last year’s championship already facing some adversity! The name of this year’s team: Wyatt’s Torch.
The rest of the move into the house went pretty well. Here are some quick moving-in tips that I learned this past weekend.
1.) Wet paint looks different than dry paint. Before we moved in, Ashley and I decided to paint the bedroom a different color. I’ve never painted before and I was too impatient to get instructions, so I just bought the paint and the starter kit and went at it. I tried to paint one wall, but I could never get the wall to stay the same consistent color. In frustration, I gave up and moved to another wall. I made sure that I didn’t paint an extra stroke anywhere, but the wall still wouldn’t stay the same color. I was getting very frustrated, but when I turned around and saw the first wall I painted I felt ok. You’re supposed to let paint dry!
2.) Make sure your television fits in your entertainment center before you buy it. Do I need to tell the story?
I was able to make it fit, eventually. I just had to go back a few steps in the assembly process, put the television in, and then rebuild the entertainment center around the television. It is a very tight fit, but at least it’s secure.
