welcome to the new apartment. Sorry it's echoey.  Our land lady let us move in like a day and a half  

early so I'm currently bringing over, if you watched  my last video, I'm bringing over some kind of  

precious breakable things that I would rather just  do myself than have the moving company do it. So  

I'm going to, just today I want to do like a little  cleaning. Honestly the house is really clean. I  

might want to do like a brief scrub of the floors  but really it's super clean. The main thing that's  

dirty are the windows which - on the outside -  so I have some cleaning supplies coming tomorrow,  

they're going to be delivered so I might not do  it within this video but that's my main concern  

is just on the west facing windows, they're quite  dusty and that's quite visible when the sun is  

setting. So let me give you a quick tour. Do you  want that? That would be lovely. It's empty, come  

along. I apologize if this doesn't record for the  second time. Welcome to the video by the way, hey!  

I'm going to do this just on my cell phone, this  is with the wide angle lens but I think you can  

get the idea. So we have three times more storage  in this place than we do in our other place so  

here - I mean we do not have that many shoes, so this  can be storage for so many other things. I'm very  

excited about that. You come in to the home  and there's this little alcove. We're probably  

going to put some kind of shelf or drawers  or something and then a mirror here cuz I like  

to have a little place where I can do like a last  minute check of like "am I okay to go out into the  

world?" right there. This interesting little  room is actually our laundry room - so we have  

our laundry, we could potentially buy a dryer but  we're actually just going to use this as storage  

so like our suitcases can go here. There's a ton of  storage back here for anything. So that's going  

to be like our cleaning supplies, etc, stuff that's  currently like shoved in the kitchen which isn't  

maybe the best place for it. So because the laundry  is there, it means we have a lot more storage in  

the kitchen so let me set you up here. So yeah we  have a ton more storage, storage, storage all of  

these open up. This, I don't know if you can see, is  like a pullout side one for like our spices which  

Kurt's very excited about. And then we have  a brand new fridge, literally last night Kurt had  

to take off all of the little pieces of cardboard  and plastic and stuff so brand new fridge, brand  

new freezer. What else? We have like finally this  area for our appliances - no more stuffing our  

air fryer and rice cooker underneath the weird table in our current kitchen. We've got three burners,

we've got significantly more counter space. Our current place probably has like this much  

counter space if that actually, maybe like half of  this but we have this whole thing - so we have this  

which was built in and then our land lady  actually built this, she got the matching  

countertop. So this is movable but we're probably  just going to use it as either more counter space  

or she recommended we buy my two little chairs  and have a little eating space so there's that.  

And then right here we have the bathroom. I'll just  turn this one on. I mean nothing really to  

see here. Got a nice little - it's got a door so that  would be fun so the whole room won't necessarily  

get wet even though it can, so hooray for that. This  is all storage maybe yeah, all of that and I think  

this side as well yeah, this side as well but I'm  not going to not one-handed. Okay so then that we  

come into the living room. So there's room over  there as well. I can't really get it all in one  

shot guys! oh my God! So this is the living room. We're probably going to put our couch here which

we measured it and this is where I thought like,  let me turn the light off hold on, this is where I  

was having my panic attacks of after we signed the  contract and I was like "maybe I misremembered and  

the house is actually super small" - I kept thinking  that this particular room was getting smaller and  

smaller in my head but actually we measured it  and our sofa is only going to go to about here  

so we have a whole huge space here which I don't  know what we're going to do with it, but like from  

here forward nothing is going to be here. So we  could potentially put a table or just have a nice  

space or maybe add another chair, I'm not sure and then obviously our TV and stuff will go here.

Here's another angle from the window and then yeah so as you can see, windows need to be cleaned.

Now let's go down our hallway that's kind of big - like this doorway is actually quite large so we  

have have enough space to put like a small like  not huge but like a small bookshelf or something  

maybe for artwork and stuff here. So this is  a room that's going to be our office and it has  

these doors actually which I'm like indifferent about. If this were like for the bedroom I would  

be no, but for just the kind of office feeling  - oh let me get you boink sorry - just for like the  

office feeling this is fine. And it closes  quite nicely so, and that one too. But yeah this  

is going to be the office I don't know how much  you can see but so the desk will probably go here  

cuz the light comes in quite strong on this wall  in the evening so like if I'm trying to edit it's  

going to be quite bright. So the desk is going  to come to about here then we have all of this  

nice room, so we're probably going to put maybe  like a shelf or something small here - try to keep  

bit non busy. We don't have a lot of stuff  and we'd like to keep it that way so that's the  

office. And then moving on to bedroom so we're  actually having difficulties figuring out what  

we want to do with it, so I here let me put you down. My vision, sorry for the echoes, my vision

was always that the bed would go here, right, heads  here sleep this way but Kurt is thinking maybe we  

should put the bed here - can you see me? - here and then so it goes to whatever here-ish and then  

we could use this area to put like a shelf or  something rather than the opposite I don't know...

I just not sure, I'm not sure. I understand both  

but anyway so that's our dilemma but the  only thing we need to put in here anyway  

is the bed so really like we could  move it ourselves afterwards but  

yeah I don't know. I think I feel like just  like energy-wise putting it here makes the  

most sense but for if we wanted to put like  anything else...I don't know I don't know. Let  

me know your thoughts. We can always change  it. And then yeah we have pretty much identical

closets um to the last place. I think I already  threw a shirt in here, yeah, cuz I was wrapping  

things. The only thing is I think the  drawers are like an inch shallower but  

other than that same kind of storage situation  as our current place and then this is just the  

boiler room - potential to put, she like  did something there to make sure that the  

smell was dealt with cuz sometimes this  can get a little like musty but yeah we  

could put like if we wanted to like a little  container thing again of like maybe cleaning  

supplies, whatever. So yeah we have south facing windows, cute little south facing windows and  

then to the west. Tthe artwork is just  here for saving space but yeah this is it!  

Welcome to our new home. I'm so, I'm just  I'm so excited. Yeah we're just  

so so so happy and it's so quiet - the walls are  like thick and also our neighbor, the only walls  

that we're going to share with our neighbor is  that wall and then potentially like the shower  

wall I guess but other than that we are all by  ourselves. We're around the corner.

So unfortunately  I'm having weird camera malfunctions - it's my memory card, not my camera. I'm having

memory card issues so I only have my phone but I'm  just going to be cleaning my, what's it called,  

my window screens, so you're not really missing  out. I might actually just focus on cleaning  

today since I gave you a tour today. I might  just focus on doing some like ugly cleaning that  

you don't need to witness and I'll just see you  on moving day okay? But if you were just here for  

the tour, there's the tour! Welcome home and see you tomorrow! Okay

Hi just checking in with proof that...

With proof that we have made some progress. Spoiler the move goes well. I just wanted  

to give a shout out to the sponsor of this  video which is surf shark VPN. So I've talked  

about them before, you know I love them. A VPN is  a virtual private network and surfshark vpn allows you  

to do things like safely use public Wi-Fi so  it kind of encrypts and protects your data so  

if anyone tries to hack you via sketchy public  Wi-Fi, you're safe. It helps you change your IP  

address in case you need to access websites  that need you to be in a certain country. I  

was just in the US last month - now that we're  moving I had to change my address and things  

like that on my registration and blah blah  blah, very helpful to be able to change  

that as well as changing libraries, for example  Netflix. We've been so tired from the move that  

we've just been every night since binging House  randomly. I don't know why that was the show of  

choice that we're watching but yeah we're  like done with season 1. We're watching like  

four episodes a night. So Surf Shark VPN can help  you with that. It's just a great service that I  

highly recommend and I've been using for years  so thank you so much again to Surf shark There  

will be info in the description box but you  can use my code caricakes to get a discount  

and then a three months free bonus  as well so definitely check them out. There's  

a 30-day money back garantee so you can try it, if  you don't like it it's fine. So yeah just thank you  

so much to Surf shark and off we go into  the chaos of moving day, I'll see you there!

It's happening. My elevator also has  actual elevator music, so sorry about that.  

I'm moving a couple things by myself. There's a lilac bush outside of the apartment building so  

every time I walk into my apartment it smells  like lilacs. Here we go it's 7am!

I came first just to get out of everyone's way  because four people in that apartment at the  

same time while they're packing...no. They were also so fast I didn't even see the other guy  

come in and like he built boxes and was just  like boom boom boom boom boom boom boom taking  

out all of our shoes. He finished our shoe  stuff before I even realized he was in my  

home and I'm a pretty observant person so it  should be done pretty quickly, who knows. I don't  

know how much we sped the process up by packing  ourselves but I just brought, again like another  

round of things that we just want so now I'm  just going to kind of open up the house. It's  

supposed to be the hottest day of the year  so far ironically the day that we're moving  

it's going to be 29. They required us to  keep our shoes on just in case as we're moving  

so that's why, we're going to clean the floors.  Time to open up a house!

8 hours since they came to our  house, 4 hours since they dropped all  

of our stuff. Bathroom done, bedroom as  done as possible, kitchen working on.

Hello and welcome. So we've officially moved in. It is now 8am on a Monday so it's been  

two full days. We kicked butt on Saturday. One thing I will say - so about the moving process in the US  

typically as far as I know, movers are movers - they  simply move your boxes for you but here you can,

there's different tiers like you can buy different  services but a very common service is to have them  

literally pack up your whole house for you so we  technically paid for that but like you saw in the  

previous video, we packed quite a bit of like our  own personal things and that ended up being a good  

call just because I came here early just to kind of clean and get out of the way and Kurt kept  

messaging me like oh my God - they were really  careful like we liked the movers, we're  

really thankful for them but like they were  really careful with things that you should  

obviously be careful with like in the kitchen they  wrapped things in bubble wrap and blah blah blah  

but for like my bookshelf where I also had little  knickknacks that were breakable they were kind of  

just like...so that's one thing to think of  if you're moving here is like they'll take care  

of the things that are obviously breakable but if  you have things in other places maybe like they  

just they don't have time to analyze what they're  packing. One thing that I'm glad that we did  

is because they pack everything for you using  their own bins, I don't know if we were supposed  

to do this but like it just felt natural for us to  unpack our stuff for them so when they brought  

in the bins we immediately jumped in and were like  packing like unpacking unpacking unpacking so that  

then they could take their bins away. But for the  stuff that we had packed ourselves we had no time  

limit, like we were basically like just put them, put our little boxes over there we'll deal with  

them once you leave. And so they ended up being  here for like - we were done like they arrived at  

8:00 a.m. at our house, started packing, drove to  our new place, put all of our furniture together  

unpacked and were gone within 3 hours which  is pretty amazing. And then we could just slowly  

without stress put away our stuff in the boxes.  Like when I had to pack the kitchen, I literally  

was just throwing things everywhere because I  just needed to get them out of their box you  

know? So then I had to like redo the kitchen  later which understandable it's fine but  

yeah it was hectic but nice and easy and we're  pretty much done. The stuff that's like still out  

and a mess is, just we need to figure out where  we want to put them. And then we do want to buy  

a couple things like I need maybe one drawer. We  also, I'll show you later, but like just our  

closet the - well I'll show you now. So here is the  bedroom situation right now, all of this stuff

needs to find a home. The only issue is - sorry the  window's open if it's noisy - the only issue which
