one week without internet

Hello again. We've just moved into the house and passed the electrical inspection (thank goodness). My folks came down to help us move along with my uncle from just a bit out of town, all of which were a godsend. We couldn't have done it without them. Everything was within 10 minutes of being late, getting out of the elevator we booked, returning the truck, ... it was tight and we pushed and we did it. I should have bought a lottery ticket.

A good chunk of our lives are still in boxes which is ok for the time being. The important things are out like clothes and food. There's still a ton of drywall to be patched post-electrical, and there's no point in doing that until we get a plumber in to take a look at the pipe leading to the washing machine (never mind a few other things). Hopefully it won't be that bad but if we need to get someone in to patch things up there's no point until this guy's finished.

We use Teksavvy for our internet and phone needs. Works great when it's going but this time around, despite booking things ahead of time to get the switch over to the new place done we were still without internet for over a week. Apparently Bell (they use Bell's lines) requires the phone to be up for a certain number of days before DSL activation. Stupid if you ask me, but then I'm not Bell. Anyways, things are cooking on the internet front so I can put down my flamethrower for now.

  1. It's good that things are going ... It's amazing how much we depend on connections like this nowadays
