Moving In Complete

With one last load of boxes from Carolyn's basement, we've completed our move into the new house. I expect to finish unpacking sometime in early 2007. Okay, maybe late 2007. Carolyn was kind enough to lend us some of her basement space during our move process. We moved a bunch of our clutter into her basement so that the house wouldn't look so cluttered when we had the house on the market. Thanks Carolyn! There's no way we could have made the townhouse look as good as it did without your help.

Our first priority was to get the kitchen up and operational. We've achieved that. My next priority is to get the home theatre back into operation. I've been pulling cables through walls and ceilings. That went pretty well until I discovered that a wall I was hoping to route cable through is actually built onto the face of a cinderblock wall. And the walls downstairs have a textured surface, so I can't just tear into them and patch them up later because I can't reproduce the texture. Well, what's life without a challenge?

I've started reading up on putting together my woodshop out in the new garage. I'm looking into heating/cooling solutions. A guy from Trane is suppossed to come out and give me some ideas about what I can do for such a small building.

Also soon to come is redecorating the nursery. I keep telling Tina that babies like beige, but she doesn't seem to be buying it.

Tina just mentioned another priority that I'd forgotten. We really need to replace the packing paper and masking tape that we're using for curtains. I know...it's a very guy thing for me to forget about that.
