We're moved in!
We are now living in the new house, though it’s not finished yet. We got pretty busy toward the end of October rushing to get laminate installed, drywall and priming finished and baseboards hung to get ready for carpet. Not to mention cleaning. While a shopvac is certainly an incredible invention, there was so much to do and we were all a little delirious by the time we left the house Wednesday night, ready for carpet to be installed on Thursday. Actually, we were not quite ready. The plan was to have Kyle finish the main floor vaccuuming in the hour and a half between when we woke up on Thursday and when carpet was scheduled to come. This plan was ruined when the carpet installers called to announce they’d be about an hour early. Luckily, they were willing to do the sweeping for us, which likely means that they did a better job than we do.
We still have a little bit of drywall work, mostly patching and a little bit of sanding, to finish up and all of the painting. Plus, our kitchen won’t be fully installed until Wednesday at the earliest so hopefully that gets done soon. I definitely like being in this house a lot more than being in our rental (especially because the rental was so cold the last few days without the furnace turned on), but I can see the end of this remodelling tunnel and I’m ready to just be there already.
