Nice one mate, well done
Put some pics up once its furnished.
Loosen the lug nuts, which hold the wheel in place, before jacking up the car: Place one end of the lug nut wrench over a lug nut. Use a hollow pipe (about 2 feet in length) for leverage by slipping it over the end of the lug nut wrench. Turn the wrench counterclockwise to loosen the lug nut. Loosen the lug nuts in a star pattern, first loosen one a few turns, then loosen the one opposite. Work across the tire until all the lug nuts are loose and unscrewed slightly.
Check your owner's manual for the correct and safe place to put the jack. Jack the car up a little higher than is necessary to remove the old tire so there is room to put the new, full tire on.
Remove the lug nuts all the way and set them aside in a place where you won't lose them and they won't roll away. The flat tire should be hanging from the threaded studs now.
Remove the flat tire and set it aside. Lift the new tire onto the wheel studs. If you're confused about which is the right way to put the new tire on, check for the valve where you add air, it always faces out.
Replace the lug nuts. Tighten them the same way you loosened them: Give each nut a few turns, first one, then the one opposite, working around the wheel in a star pattern. Try not to tighten adjacent nuts consecutively.
Slowly lower the jack and remove it. Tighten the lug nuts again as much as you can.

Seriously though...congrats, it's a big step but soooo much fun (especially after you've first moved)

Congratulations!
Congrats; now, hope yours doesn't do what mine did, and have a catastrophic boiler failure after 4 months...
I'm not entirely sure, given the current economic situation, that "congratulations" is the right word at this juncture...
But what the heck - Congratulations
If it's not too personal, want to contribute to my thread here http://forums.hexus.net/general-disc...ngle-flat.html ?
Although the place I'm heading for is a 2 bedroom house, it'll still be only me there.
Congratulations aswell, I've never lived entirely alone.. been in and out a lot of homeless hostels which believe me is absolute hell.
