"You can always get the curtains up somehow"

Second day started with Mauri going to work around 7 am and I stayed here to get to know this ..dream apartment.

I didn't feel so horrified anymore, I got used to the smell, it wasn't so cold inside and I got warm water from shower!

Okay. Isn't it kinda obvious that when you move to a rental apartment there is supposed to be fridge, stove and other kitchen cabinets. Like basic furniture. Right? (At least in Finland)

We had: A fridge, (which Mauri carried few weeks before from the balcony to inside) sink and under that a sink cabinet, ugly as fuck kitchen table and chairs (these are the owners of this apartment) equally horrible couch, closet for clothes and bed. Ew. And ofc toilet things.
Yeah no oven. Its not part of the basics. OVEN IS NOT PART OF THE BASICS. No worries I knew that already but what... We cooked first two weeks with a microwave. Yeah you can cook with a microwave, did you know that? Our microwave sounds like it's in terrible need of euthanasia though.. I'm serious it's explosion hazard.

All this I would accept but a curtain rod. We didn't even have a curtain rod.

The balcony of our place is kinda like walk-through-balcony. So other people who live in this building also walk through it and our front door is the "balcony" door and the door is a size of our kitchen. So the size of our front wall. Filled with windows.
But still. No place to keep the curtains.

On a previous day we went to a hardware store to buy a drill, the bit for the drill and curtain rods. I told the dude who was selling those to us that "Now, sell us everything we need to get curtains on the wall". Sim sim.

At home I was super exited and said "Hubby, now let's start drilling!" I drilled a hole, put the curtain rod there and added a screw but HOW ARE YOU GONNA DRILL THE SCREW TO THE WALL WHEN THE DUDE ONLY SOLD US THE BIT AND NOT THE PART WE NEED TO SCREW THE SCREW. No screwdriver no nothing. See you don't remember all the things you need when you start your new life. Even the hardware store dude didn't realize that we have to attach the screw to the wall somehow.. ..sell me everything we need.. yeah right.

It's cool, now after living few months here we have curtains on the wall.

There is few other interesting things I realized from this apartment.

Here we already got some shelves to keep our food somewhere!

The sink cabin of ours is a fiasko.
Doors wont click, the closets don't fit. Who ever installed this thing there, didn't really care to measure much. "yeah, this is good I'm just gonna put this here, oopsie it's crooked well whatever because Brazil baby." Same thing with the sink. The hole of the sink in little bit higher that the bottom of the sink, so you have to push the water inside the hole, to empty the sink completely. Well.. No problem. It's cool.

Other thing I noticed is that shower only gives you freezing water or hot as hell water. Nothing in between. Well there I go and get my skin burned red and try to get used to the temperature. At least we have other than cold water.

It's okay, it's okay small details and it's all gonna be good.
