Yes I know these are totally first world problems. And compared to things about our last houses we didn’t like, these are NOTHIN’. But I figured I might as well tell you everything.
The dishwasher is TINY. Like ridiculously tiny. Like I’d be happy to sell it and get a new one tiny. Yes it’s newer and fancy (it’s practically silent) but what good is that if nothing fits in it? Tom is like F@$& THAT IT’S A BOSCH AND IT’S NEW. And while I get that, it’s also an appliance we use daily and if it’s annoying me it’s going to be a constant source of frustration. So we’ll see what happens.
Our shower. It’s gorgeous and totally fancy, but not great in application. There are no towel bars or hooks in a place to easily grab a towel from inside the shower. We can’t put our showerhead on it because of the style…and it seems to be at a weird angle and consequently the bench doesn’t seem to be in the best place (I kept backing into it during my first shower—I’m sure I’ll get more used to it but right now it’s not love). There are also only two tiny shelves and no good room to put a shower rack (and I don’t want to clutter up the bench). And it’s quite disconcerting to be able to see yourself in the mirror while showering!
It takes awhile to get hot water anywhere. We are actually used to that from the rental but we were sure it would be better anywhere else. That said, there’s plenty of hot water! (Ack! No good things posted in this post!!)
There are also a bunch of little things that we can fix eventually…like no hand towel racks in the kids’ bath, Katie’s blinds are missing the rod to tilt them, none of the ceiling fans have lights but there are no lights in the rooms (so it’s still lamps for us), I can’t find which outlet the guest bedroom light switch goes to, and Katie’s carpet has a stain that goes away and magically reappears every time.
So overall pretty damn awesome. Stay tuned for the list of amazing things about this house…
