| slashbel | congrats czajkowski, hope the new job works out well | 08:54 |
|---|---|---|
| czajkowski | thanks | 08:56 |
| ebel | yeah congrats czajkowski ! | 09:01 |
| czajkowski | thanks yu guys settling in over there | 09:15 |
| czajkowski | ebel: made your peace with fizzy water :) | 09:15 |
| slashbel | slowly | 09:15 |
| slashbel | we're still working on the kitchen… i expect ebel will be drilling into some more concrete on saturday | 09:16 |
| slashbel | it's illegal to drill on the evenings or sunday | 09:16 |
| czajkowski | aye so I saw | 09:16 |
| slashbel | well it might not be illegal | 09:16 |
| czajkowski | bit odd but also nice but odd | 09:16 |
| slashbel | but the police will be called | 09:16 |
| slashbel | (and the police *will* come) | 09:16 |
| czajkowski | does mean if you're sitting at home in the evening you wont hear people drilling so there is that | 09:17 |
| slashbel | exactly, this is how you have middle-class people choosing to live in apartmenta | 09:17 |
| slashbel | they're not just for the young and the poor | 09:17 |
| * slashbel is queueing up furniture that needs tacks hammering in to them, for a suitable time | 09:18 | |
| czajkowski | heh so it's a lot of DIY then | 09:19 |
| czajkowski | no bother to either of ye then | 09:19 |
| slashbel | yes, it is common to rent unfurnished here | 09:19 |
| slashbel | unfurnished means no light fittings, no kitchen etc, but at least you get a bathroom | 09:19 |
| czajkowski | yeah all over here is unfurnished as well | 09:19 |
| czajkowski | ah well at least there is a kitchen and light fittings | 09:20 |
| slashbel | unfurnished is so much better… you don't have to put up with the landlords shit | 09:20 |
| slashbel | it really annoyed me having to chuck away good furniture when i moved to ireland | 09:20 |
| ebel | yeah it is very queit then at night or evenings | 09:20 |
| slashbel | you can rent places with a kitchen, but roughly 90% of places don't come with a kitchen (so it rather limits your options) | 09:21 |
| slashbel | and we landed with roughly 2 weeks to find a home | 09:21 |
| czajkowski | nods | 09:22 |
| slashbel | but at least we should save around €7000/year on rent | 09:23 |
| slashbel | for a place that is almost twice the size as smithfield | 09:23 |
| czajkowski | ah makes sense then | 09:25 |
| czajkowski | and the jobs | 09:25 |
| czajkowski | both of you guys working? | 09:25 |
| slashbel | yep, we had jobs before we left ireland | 09:25 |
| czajkowski | sweet | 09:25 |
| czajkowski | :D | 09:25 |
| czajkowski | Jon goes to Germany every few months on a bike ride | 09:25 |
| czajkowski | takes one of his motorbikes over on a road trip | 09:26 |
| czajkowski | loves the roads over there | 09:26 |
| czajkowski | there are currently 3 motorbikes in my driveway :/ | 09:26 |
| slashbel | ebel is working with openstreetmap, and i found a job doing dev work on switches/routers etc (like i did in dublin) | 09:26 |
| czajkowski | wow good stuff | 09:26 |
| czajkowski | :D | 09:26 |
| czajkowski | congrats to you both | 09:26 |
| slashbel | yep, this area of germany especially is very good for the biking! | 09:26 |
| slashbel | thanks | 09:26 |
| czajkowski | Last trip he did nurburgring | 09:27 |
| slashbel | we're right next to schwarzwald | 09:28 |
| ebel | yeah. | 09:28 |
| slashbel | although we have a daunting task ahead, on friday we plan to head to the TÜV and re-register our bikes | 09:30 |
| slashbel | which unfortunately does take a few hundred euro off the value (irish vrt) | 09:31 |
| czajkowski | better than having to buy a new bike | 09:33 |
| slashbel | that's what i figure. i could have sold my bike in ireland, bought a similar one here and saved money | 09:37 |
| slashbel | but at least with my bike, i know the history | 09:37 |
| czajkowski | nods | 09:38 |
| czajkowski | at until you get settled no point in adding any extra hassle or expense | 09:38 |
| slashbel | aye, we have been busy enough as it is | 09:39 |
| ebel | yeah | 09:47 |
