I just moved into a new place, what should be on the list of things to do in the first few days?

The plumbing seems okay, toilet hardware can use an update, and the bathroom sinks need to be cleared of residuals (hair and grime), but the water heater and washing machine seem to be in good working order.

It's a nice neighborhood, the park nearby has a 1.5 mile track, and I'm looking forward to getting back into running sprints. It's probably better than the bar (as far as finding a nice gal).

Set up your console and play games.

I am getting my furniture out of storage on the 30th, so I have no TV stand, but my Vizio sits on the floor with my PS4 on a box waiting to be revved up. I'm currently rekindling my relationship with my movie collection on my laptop until I get the internet set up.

Start cracking into those walls, floors and ceilings to identify any hidden listening devices or other surveillance equipment.

Oh, I am a very curious type of guy, but I figure that these days, if someone wanted to scrutinize my day-to-day, they've got the kind of devices that won't be found by a standard sweep. I'm definetly not cracking drywall, it's way more work than it's worth, and everyone's got skeletons in the closet. Besides, my shop-vac is in storage until Wednesday.

Get to know your neighbors. Throw a party or a bbq and invite them over. Being friends with your neighbors will help cut down on the angry door knocking and visits from the cops.

Oh I've been looking for a gal in the area for sure, but it's not a great grouping. Honestly I have stayed away from online dating because of negative data, and other factors. I should probably get back into it though.
First date? Running in the park!

Yeah, we've got Labor Day coming up, I'm sure that will be a block party, I might walk around a bit. What do you think about a garage sale? I can sell my stuff to folks and also talk about how I got all this stupid crap.

Oh my no thank you, i have a problem with that sort of game.
Sounds good in theory, just don't mention the mementos you collected from your victim's apartments.

Oh no, those are my mom's things, I didn't gather those things. They belonged to my mom.

Changing the locks is something I am thinking I should definetly invest in.

Sure. Why not. Getting to know the people who've lived there for years is about the best thing you can do

I'll hopefully be moving into my own home at the end of September and no longer renting and it's the first thing I'll be doing.
You've no idea who lived in there before you and if they made copies of the keys before handing them over.

Indeed, if I was a new home owner, I would definitely factor in new door handles and deadbolts in the cost. I am a renter so I'm just a 'little' concerned about that thing. Also I sleep lightly, especially in a new place, and in a few days, we'll have an old dog that does the same.

Aquire some adult human female urine and sprinkle it ever so slightly in every room in the house. Then, in the future, should you bring any ladies home they will smell the scent of your recent conquests and they will know that you are a man to be taken seriously.

I mean you'll see what needs to be done quickly from just spending a few nights there. I've not sabotaged your place! Unless you want me to, for insurance money or whatnot.

Oh you, im sure you would fold towels and replace candleware on exit after sabotage.

Get a blender, use a couple of times and then store away forever.

Oh I'm a cook, in the market for a used RoboCoup because my restaurant doesn't have one. I mostly like a simple salad along with marinara and linguini, i can live off of $1.29 a day.

Highest on your list of things to do should be to stop using the word 'gal'

I would also like to know. "Biddie" and "birthing person" have been met with mixed response

I have never had so many bathrooms to make welcoming, but I will try it out. Thanks for the good advice!
