Moving Day

We moved today. Well, to be honest, three very strong men we hired did most of the work. The most harrowing moment was, as expected, the extraction of the china hutch from the old townhouse. It makes it down the stairs with less that an inch to spare. The new house is great. It has a garage. This allows me to do something I've always wanted to do. Put things in the garage. We also have a crawl space. I'm looking forward to putting things in it too. The house also fulfils another of my life long dreams. Shortly after closing on the house, I filled a glass of water from the dispenser on the refrigerator. There are pictures of the event.

After moving all of the stuff, we moved the cats. They're prowling about the new master bedroom. Havoc has already tried to convince us to let him out into the rest of the house, but I told him he has to convince me that he knows where the litter box is before I let him roam.

I'm planning to put a woodshop into our detached garage. This will involve insulating the walls and ceiling, installing some sort of heating/cooling unit, and buying a bunch of really cool machines.

But first, the great task of unpacking begins. That will be followed by the task of working on the yard and the outside of the house. The inside of the house has just been entirely redone. So, the inside is like a new house. The outside is less so. The yard mostly needs work. Oh, and decorating the nursery. There's that too. :-)
