This last two weeks we've been focused on getting a new car, finding kitchen appliances, and working on 5220 Butler Street. My lease is up on my Prius and it was time to make a decision. I am really not into cars. If I had it my way I would be driving something from the 50's or 60's. Steve decided because my Prius was a basic model, it would be better to find the same car with upgrades. He's currently driving home from Philadelphia after picking up our new Prius that he purchased on Ebay. Let's just say, the new car is a nicer model with less mileage. It's fully loaded (whatever that means) for less than I would pay for my current Prius. Only downfall was Steve had to walk 25 minutes in the rain to get the Megabus this morning. I am very jealous because he stopped at Terrain www.terrain.com on the way home and I am waiting to see what presents if any he has bought me. What can fit in the back of a Prius?
Yesterday we made a down payment on kitchen appliances. Steve has been corresponding with a man from Craigslist who is selling his families 3 year old kitchen. The whole kitchen is for sale for $17,000 including the cabinets, countertops and appliances. Steve offered to buy just the appliances and after a month the man got back to him and said we could come take a look. The stove, fridge, and dishwasher (i haven't had a dishwasher in 6 years and really excited about this) are in perfect shape. We made a down payment and hopefully Steve can pick these up next week and start working on renovating the kitchen.
We've also been trying to get 5220 freshened up. We've been painting, staining and fixing the porch and basically cleaning it up in preparation for our move.... someday. I've started packing up Steve's books which means I am very anxious to move. After six years and lots of car break ins I am ready for a little quieter and safer way of life.
