Settling into the new homestead

This week marks two months that Kate and I have officially been in Allentown. We're settling into the house nicely.



In recent weeks we have purchased and installed a new dining room lamp that we found at Friedman Electric in Bethlehem. Next up on the electrical "hit list" is installing the stairwell fixture that we had purchased months ago at Kay Lighting in Plymouth Meeting. But before I can do that, I need to buy a ladder since it's the top of a two-story stairwell.



The hot tub is up and running. Kate and I have begun to actually use the hot tub instead of just looking at it and cursing our "Porsche filled with water" (the term used by the hot tub repair guy). We do enjoy using it, but it is showing its age (14 years) and will likely need more "under the hood" repairs over time.
