Oh My Aching Back

Finally....all and I mean every single box has been gone through, emptied, broken down and taken out of this place....except for a few boxes that we decided not to empty...contents weren't needed.
My vehicle has about 40 or more boxes broken down in the back of it. I will be going to the Recycle Center first thing in the morning.
After dropping off of the boxes, I will return and load the RAV4 up with all of the movers wrapping paper. We ended up buying ourselves a new couch and a new dining room set.
Originally we were going to share an office and Veronica's craft room. Unfortunately after opening all of the craft room moving boxes, it became very apparent that there was just no way that our computers and computer related furniture was going to fit in with all of that craft room items. I could not believe how tight it was in there. It really was unbearable.
So after a real brief discussion and I mean brief, we both decided that it would be in our best interest to put our computer room downstairs in the 1st floor spare bedroom. This is the bedroom that we were using for some indoor storage of extra boxes and rubber storage tubs.
So this morning, Veronica and I got up early and moved all of our computer stuff downstairs.
It will be a while until Veronica has a chance to put her craft room aka "The Studio" together but when she does, she will have a room all her own for her artistic endeavors.
I think that I will try to just relax the rest of today because tomorrow I will be on the run again.

Below are some photos of our new place:

Here are some photos of or bedroom

Here is a photo of "the door". Behind this door evil lies. Actually, behind this door a real mess resides...at least for now...Veronica's art studio

3rd floor landing

Living room, dining room, library room and kitchen photos

This is our new computer room...rather spacious compared to the cramped room we were in and as a bonus....it will be much cooler in the Summer months

The Boxes Never End

Today Veronica and I got up early to tackle our last major obstacle...the craft room.
The boxes seem endless and it will probably take most of the day to get close to being done.
Hopefully we will get finished within the next 2 days, so that maybe we can take a deep breath and possibly relax for a minute....just a thought.....

The Power Of The Internet

Shortly after I wrote and posted my last blog entry, I received a comment from an Eric Ketzer. You can view the posted comment by clicking the comments link on my previous blog entry.
As it turns out, Mr. Ketzer is the Social Media Communications Manager for Charter Communications.
To be honest with you...I was really floored to have had someone locate my blog entry and then take the time to leave a comment and write me, requesting information to help solve a problematic issue.
Mr. Ketzer also sent me an email requesting information about my address, the order number and information that applied to my installation.
A short while later, I received a telephone call from another Charter representative named Antoine. We ended up on a 4 way conference call with myself, Antoine, Brad(the local installation supervisor) and I believe it was someone from billing.
After discussing the situation, it was agreed that Brad and/or another Quality Assurance Technician would be at my home this morning at 9AM.
Brad assured me that they would make everything right for me, on the installation aspect of things.
The individual, from what I think was billing, told me that Charter Communications would compensate me for our troubles by giving us a free month of total service and there would be no charge for the installation.
After the telephone call ended, I felt much better that we were heading in the right direction of getting this matter settled.
Brad along with the Quality Assurance Technician arrived here at 9 AM sharp and they went through the complete installation process for all of our services...cable, telephone and internet. They checked whatever work that had been previously done by the last technician, discussed options with me and made all of the appropriate changes so that I would get the maximum level of quality for each service that I ordered.
These 2 gentlemen were highly qualified, very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable with everything that they did and all of the services that they provided me.
I want to publicly thank Charter Communications, Mr. Eric Ketzer, Antoine, the person from billing whom I spoke to on the telephone, Brad the local Installation Supervisor, the QA technician whose name escapes me....sorry...chalk it up to old age...and another young lady by the name of April, for helping turn this negative situation into a very acceptable and positive outcome.
I thank you all.
Now I can finally make full use of our new Samsung television...life is good and so are the Kansas Jayhawk basketball team... especially in HD...Rock Chalk Jayhawk...Beak'm Hawks!!!!
