Home Tour!

I'm safe and sound in Slate Falls First Nations! It was an adventure (to say the least) getting here - see my boyfriend's blog at www.platoandnewton.blogspot.com for more information - but we made it and unloaded the car.

The house is still a frigging disaster after 1.5 days of unpacking and cleaning. We're missing some essential cleaning things like a broom and a mop - we have a vacuum though - but considering all the floors are tile, it's not getting us far. I spent all of today cleaning out the kitchen of all the leftover food the previous tenant decided he didn't want to take with him (thanks man), and cleaning all the cupboard from food splash stains and the like. Overall though the kitchen is in pretty good condition; the appliances are new and they work well.

The house from the outside - doesn't look like much - wait until spring when I can plant something :)

So, as you'll see in the photos we have a front entrance way for hanging coats and getting snow in (when it comes), a full bathroom, 2 bedrooms - one which we'll turn into an office and the other for a super "emperors" bed - 2 double beds put together. We have a living room with a comfy couch, satellite and internet. I've mentioned the kitchen and we also have a dining room. Anyone who has seen the places Chris and I have lived in together (the basement apartment in Guelph and the one-room cottage in Kirkland Lake) will know that this is a PALACE; its huge to us.

I'm thinking that if we decide to live here for more than just one year that I'll paint the place - its totally white right now and there's writing on the wall for some reason (call Tam 283-7316 for a good time). But overall I'm pretty happy here - will need a job soon to not go crazy from cleaning all day - but happy. I'll be ever more happy when I figure out how to use the phone since my cell phone doesn't work here. I really wish my family would come on Skype *hint hint* BE ON AT 7pm YOUR time**

The plan tomorrow is to drive into town for all the things we still need - cleaning supplied - a desk - laundry baskets - curtains. I WANT to go to Wal-mart but that means I would have to drive 3 hours there and 3 hours back (frigging northern Ontario), so instead I'll make it to the Random-R-Us store in Sioux Lookout (only 2 hours there and 2 back). Okay, well, that's about it so far. Stay tuned for more adventures (they say there are thunderstorms with baseball sized hail coming - yeah!).
