Today we learned a little more about our new home.
In the first couple of days in the house I had taken the
time to read through the inventory of the house. It was incredibly detailed. One thing it noted was a small cabinet
located in the central hallway at the top of the wall near the ceiling. The inventory commented on the cabinet but
said it was too high for them to check.
This afternoon we made a trip into Harrogate in hopes of
finding some of the things on my shopping list that I hadn’t been able to find
on base. One of those things was a
ladder. There is so much I need to do
around the house that I won’t be able to reach without a ladder so we went off
to find B&Q, the local Home Depot.
We discussed getting a small step ladder but decided it wasn’t tall
enough to change the light bulbs. The
tall one would be good, but maybe too tall.
We settled for the in between sized ladder.
Back at home this evening we sat down to do some work on the
computer. Greg had brought home a DVD of
the practice driving test and I was downloading it when the electric outlets
switched off along with the heater. We
began searching the house for the electric box.
We searched and searched everywhere obvious. Greg finally asked if I had seen a cabinet
anywhere hidden away. Oh, there is the
one at the top of the hallway… but we’d
need a ladder to get to it. =)
If I hadn’t gone through the inventory I would have never
seen that cabinet. If the power had gone
off yesterday we wouldn’t have been able to reach the cabinet. But instead, everything fell into place and
the electric and heat are back on. It’s
so amazing to see God working head of us before we even know the need.
