Unpacking and Work coming along
Just a quick update to say that Heather and I
have made progress on both unpacking and doing a lot of work around the house.
My parents came up last weekend and we all went out shopping. Picked up a dining
room table, some tables for the entertainment center-y area, lighting fixtures,
and a million other little things. We then got started and actually got quite a
few things done that night. A big thanks again to them for all their help on
that long day.
Heather and I have
continued each day to get more done. The kitchen is almost all put away and
almost entirely cleaned thanks to Heather. We're going to paint it and probably
re-do the floor in there in the next few months. The living room is partially
set up although I did get the shelves ready, so we can take it further. I've
replaced all of the door handles and locks to new ones that actually work. I
still have to replace the weather seals on them. I also added magnetic closures
to the 3 rooms upstairs, so the cats don't have free reign over everything.
(They work great Mom! Cats can't push them
open.)
The next big project are the
floors in the upstairs bedrooms. We found out that under the old carpet are
flawless pine floors that just need finishing. We've purchased stain and sealer.
We're starting with Heather's studio this Saturday. Hopefully, we can get the
entire room done in one day. We just need to start early to get some drying time
in. The old carpets are off to the basement to help further finish the partially
finished room.
That's all for now. No
pictures yet. We need to get more stuff put away [and I need to find where I
packed the battery charger] before that happens.
