ᐅ Your first to-dos after your move-in date is confirmed?

I’m curious to know what you first set in motion/noted/purchased/organized once it was clear in which month you could move into your new house.

So far, I have noted:
------------------------------
- Buy a mailbox
- Order trash bins
- Buy a twin-drum composter
(- Cancel rental apartment lease, only once the move-in date is fixed)

Moving truck booked.
We had already registered the trash bins in advance, and the mailbox had been installed on the fence a long time ago.
Housewarming party with the neighbors planned. 😉
The rest will mostly happen spontaneously; we didn’t plan too much.
We had already received the house some time ago and gradually started the move.
Well, the distance wasn’t far anyway... 🙂

For me, that was also the deadline to clear out everything, to either list items that wouldn’t be kept for sale or to pack them into garbage bags. 😉

I had to look up what that is first. It might be okay for an apartment in the city. But I don’t see the point for a single-family home owner. The thing is too small to last through the winter, right?

They come in various sizes, and I could also place two side by side.

Such a unit is still on our list as well. I just haven’t found one in the right size yet...

My wife doesn’t want a compost heap on the property. What other alternatives are there for that?
