Things are slowing down - photographically

So things at this point are mostly at a stage of finishing up little things and bringing over and unpacking boxes. so we'll probably be posting less frequently as we wait for things that actually look like we've done something.

Some MUCH needed rest and a few things going up on the walls

This weekend also proved to be VERY DRAMATIC, and there's a lot of stories to share, so buckle up! It's gonna be a long, wild ride.  If you came for the crime drama, that's at the end, otherwise, enjoy our story time. So, last week in DC (for those who don't know) was a surprise monsoon season.
