June 7, 2006All moved in (mostly)

Whew. Has it really been almost 2 weeks since we closed? It's amazing how much more work is involved in moving when you're selling a house, not just moving out. As per the inspection report and subsequent addendum to the contract on the townhouse, we have several things to fix before closing. With the clock ticking we're finally getting around to knocking some of those things out:

Seal skylights - doing tonight
Level & fix ac - scheduled
Repair drywall cracks/caulk - doing tonight
Fix window - done
Termite inspection - need to schedule
Overflow pan for water heater - errrrr...

Of course, all this is on top of the normal cleaning we still have to do. I took a stab at it last night and got a couple of rooms done. I think I'm too anal though; I probably do more than what's required. I walked around last night and put blue stickies everywhere something needed to be touched up. There's a lot of blue stickies. We made a lot more marks on the walls during packing and moving than I realized. Oh well, that's what paint is for.

The new house is going great! I think the move went really well. With so many people we had everything moved in no time. Thanks again to everyone!! Also, thanks to the Chris & the Pollards for all the miniblind installations; we now have a bit more privacy than before. Jeff & Mike installed the garage door opener last weekend; now if we could just park in the garage.... We hung some curtains in the study and installed the track lighting. I've tried to clear boxes room by room, but I just end up moving them around instead. Until we get the townhouse finalized, we have to focus more of our efforts on that.

And of course there's always work. If yesterday was any indication as to the rest of the month, I'm going to come home exhausted everyday. If every aspect of my job could have a crisis, I think it all happened yesterday. Must have been a full moon or something, it was weird.

But anyway, I must be off. Have to meet Jeff to clean the townhouse. Perhaps one day this week I'll get some more pictures posted.
