Fun With Home Improvements

August 10, 2002

The apartment's coming along really well so far. I've had to take care of some stuff, though. There were no blinds on the windows so I got to make a Lowe's run for those, and the front window is 5'5" wide. That friggin' blind was heavy. I had to take the face-plate off the bedroom light switch so I could spin it around right-side-up, since I just wasn't getting used to pushing the switch down to turn on the lights.

The damn outlet I want to plug my computer into is still busted though, and the maintenance guy left a new tub faucet on my toilet tank instead of just installing the damn thing. Guess that extra 30 seconds was just too much for him. Since I just use the faucet to test the water before I crank up the shower it's not really a big deal though. But it does look kinda silly having an exposed pipe sticking out of the wall.
