Swedish flat-pack

We are slowly moving into our new place. On Friday, Daorcey got the locks redone. We moved in most of our DVDs and books. By the time we were done making several trips with the car back and forth, it was 9-ish.

The next day we went to Ikea, just in time for $1 breakfast. For some reason eating there reminded me of eating at a hostel. We arrived at 11 am, left at 1 pm with less money. But we got a bed, couch, a chair that matches the couch, rug, bedside table, medicine cabinet, a key hook and entertainment centre. The Echo is definitely not equipped to transport all of that so we had it delivered.

After Ikea, we went to Rona to buy screws for the key hook. Instead of just screws, we walked out with two light sets, hooks for the bathroom, and light bulbs. For some reason our bathrooms have no towel racks nor toilet paper dispenser. I don't know how the previous tenants hung up their towels or where they kept their TP.

Ikea showed up at 5:40 which was excellent. They were quoting anywhere between 5 and 10. The couch didn't make it since it was out of stock and Ikea has no idea when it will be in stock again. You'd think Ikea would be on top of its supply chain times. We'll probably need a third person to help us assemble our furniture (hi Tony!) but we had to dress our chair.

So instead of an empty apartment, you can imagine several flat cardboard boxes, a chair, and a rug.
