Laura and I picked up the keys to our new place tonight. The back door key doesn't quite work yet. The deadbolt will only lock if the key is inserted. Its a new deadbolt, so hopefully the landlord will fix it soon! They seem like really nice people, they surprised us with a new built-in dishwasher in our apartment. I seriously did not expect that at all. However, they did throw away the washing machine we were planning on using (it was left there by the penultimate tenants), so we'll have to take a trip to buy a new one. I just hope the refrigerator doesn't go as well, as that would be a pain to replace. The new place seems really big. Sure it doesn't have anything in it yet, but I think the layout results in much more useful space. Right now we have a pretty big apartment, but there's so much wasted useless space in the kitchen and I guess would be the dining room.
