So begins our life among the boxes
This past week has consisted mostly of us clearing up smaller projects, finishing those off, and then moving our stuff in. We managed to move everything out of our storage unit and apparently Morris had forgotten how many boxes of books I had.... Oops!
I'm seriously looking forward to having all our things in one place and not having to commute between the apartment and the house constantly, but it will make some chores a little more difficult - like having to move things in order to paint parts that still need it.
We've divvied up the additional bedrooms not still under construction between us so each has a room with a closet and room for a desk and such. I've started putting all my craft things and dance things into the closet for my office / guest room and my supervisor was very pleased with my progress!
Some really good news for our supervisor is that now that the nasty chemical things are done and we've picked up the sharp/dangerous stuff from the floors, Suki the supervisor-in-chief can now roam freely while we're in the house. I've discovered that she really likes my office / guest room and it's probably because of the great light.
The boxes will be everywhere for a while, but at least the ones in the foreground are empty and just waiting to be re-packed with our things from the apartment to move over to the house. But yeah, I managed to snag the room with 2 windows!
I've started putting some things in the master bedroom giant closet as well, and they are totally dwarfed by the size of the closet. Don't worry orange and purple dress, the rest of your friends are coming soon!
It was enjoyable finding use for all those little shelving/drawer doodads that I have acquired over years of living in small apartments with very little closet space. Also, we don't need any more spare pillows. Anyone showing up with new ones may be shot or at least whipped soundly with a wet noodle!
And here's Morris's office with his space age glass top desk and super comfy chair has been a welcome place for him to take a break from working on finishing our kitchen counters, painting that projection screen wall, battling the lawn, and the rest of everything.
There was some delay for certain projects because someone had to run off to a formal event - and when I say formal, I mean FORMAL!
That is some dangerously high levels of dapper there!
This next week is a weird one because with the holiday for the 4th of July, we're taking some time off of work so that we have time to work on the house and go up to Pennsylvania to see both sets of families/hometowns. Our neighbors have already been celebrating with home fireworks, but we'll be off to see a great big display where Morris grew up, so that will be exciting!
