We will start transferring some of our stuff and furniture tomorrow, though we’ll have to wait until the electricity and water service is up before we completely move in. The lessor says it could be late next week.
The house was a real good find for us because it met all our criteria: the rent is reasonable, it has two spacious bedrooms, our own free parking space, within a safe compound and, best of all, it’s just 10 minutes away from our workplace.
