House update with pictures

It seems like more than a month in this new home, but it isn’t even that yet. I took possession of my new house on September 30th, 2013 and in the time between then and now I’ve done a lot… of moving.

Apparently I owe more stuff than I could have ever imagined. I’ll always remember that time I moved to Fort St. John with nothing more than a few boxes. Now I have an entire uHaul truck of “stuff”.

In 27 days I made several trips moving stuff from old house to new house, built an office desk, drove to Edmonton, spent a a combined total of 12 hours in Ikea, drove back to Yellowknife, built $1000 worth of Ikea furniture and setup the house. Here are some photos:

At Home At Ikea

I guess I forgot to post these photos from my trip to Edmonton a couple weeks back. We of course did the northern thing and visited Ikea, we actually did get a boardroom table for our office. I always enjoy walking through Ikea and dreaming of the possibilities and then looking at prive tags and going “THERE IS NO WHAT IN H*LL” I can afford any of this.

Either way, some of the rooms are neat. They are clean, elegant and modern, something I so desperately want in a home someday. I envision a house – apartment – condo to have all hardwood flooring, stainless steal appliances, a gas stove and to be full automated. That is the big ticket for me, I want to have a highly efficient – green if you will – home that I can control from my phone.

I will get more into my dreams of a home some other time, but for now tell me what your favourite thing to do in Ikea is.

Selling and Sold

Today was a morning of buying and an afternoon of sales.

Ikea was the morning where we spent our share and walked out with a Table, desks and bee hive lamps, I’ll explain later.

In the afternoon we demoed a printer.. with a sales man of all sales man. But I should hold my tounge, because the guys was nice and I believe honest.

Whyte Ave was the chosen dinner place at a great little place where I got my hands on a delicious burger and french onion soup.
