Moving! Really!

We are moving in, folks ... tomorrow. (Technically, that is today!) We all thought the day would never come, especially after we found that the plaster of the ceiling (the ceiling immediately above our bed, by the way) was sagging -- but that's another story for another blog post. The day is here (almost). By the time you read this, there will be furniture and boxes and another huge mess in the parlor.

Take a look at what we've finally gotten to. Our parlor is painted, and largely free of debris and heavy equipment.









And the kitchen! We have countertops (we tiled them ourselves, with salvage from the smashed-down wall). We have shelves. We have a functional stove. We have a clean, painted sink area.





We have countertops. (I know I already said that but I haven't had this much counterspace in my kitchen since ... well, ever, if you don't count the house I grew up in.) Compare this, my friends, to what we had just a few days ago. (It looks like there's an alien visitation happening in the bathroom, on the far left, but that's just ... well, that's another blog post for another day. Suffice it to say, it's not actually radioactive.)
