Well, we’re working into week two of moving!

In the new house, Marc has removed/re-located the center island (including sink) over to the side wall so that we could accommodate our 16-person dining room table (yeah!!). We’ve unexpectedly replaced the valve body in the main bathtub…since I wanted to give the girls a much-needed bath the other day and the water turned on, but…didn’t turn back off (oops!). We had no front exterior door (just a sheet of plywood, LOL), so that went in pretty much right away, and almost all of the interior doors had been stripped as well, so those are being worked on, too.

Today we woke up to rain and realized from the dripping overhead that the roof leak in the master bedroom is the next thing to be fixed. There was a tarp over it and we knew it’d have to be done eventually, but apparently (for whatever reason) the tarp hasn’t been–or no longer is–doing its job.

Both houses are a bit disorderly…but most of the stuff we “need” is in our new house and we’ve settled in there quite nicely. We’re feeling very blessed!

Now, we’ve got to whip our “old” house into shape for sale! Tomorrow we’re having new carpet installed in the lower level, so Marc did some paint touch-ups on the walls today. I got a lot of the remaining “stuff” from the bedrooms, kitchen, and living room boxed up; not moved yet, but ready to go. The master bedroom is still a wreck, as is the office. But everything else is shaping up pretty well.

Slow and steady wins the race…
