I am blogging from an iPad which has its challenges. Whenever I have computer access I will go back and fix typos and better format anything that looks wonky. I will also turn video links into embedded videos, please be patient.
I recorded a YouTube video today that talks a little more about where we are and what we are doing.

Setting up a new home definitely has it's challenges. In NYC, the challenges are magnified. We supplied everything but blood samples to get into a doorman building in the financial district... But that is done. We picked out furniture and also got case goods from IKEA... done and done. We set up utilities, got into it with Time Warner (no surprise) cancelled and set up new utilities.
When the issue is played out, or settled, I will blog about it in full.. I will say this much now, don't let Con Edison set up your other utilities for you.. They are actually patching you into another company that may very well cause a great deal of confusion and stress. this other company clearly gets paid by the utility companies, and I was steered toward using Time Warner and quoted the wrong price... By a longshot. Now I have to get Verizon In here who I should have had I the first place sInce their plan is more economical.
Other interesting issues I will blog about later... Being mistaken for the help, finding reasonably priced groceries, and getting around NYC prices. Oh, and the biggie... Transportation in NYC.
til next time.

What? You can have Con Ed set up ALL your other utilities? In some ways, that's pretty nifty b/c this way, you won't have to try to figure out which companies service your area of the city and so on. But never trust strangers doing ya a favour, right? :)
Well, actually, Con-Ed made me think they were helping me... but they quietly passed me on to another company which FUBAR'ed the process.
