Home Improvement 055

I know next to nothing about home improvement. Evan showed me a thing or two and took me to the home depot though, so I may just know enough to be dangerous.

With the help of my new best friend, my trusty cordless drill (thank you, thank you, Mr. Holt), I managed to do some home improvement today - I put up rods in the closets!

Check it out:




a new rod in the downstairs closet - easy.

upstairs closet before...


upstairs closet after - this was a hard one. The closet is 11+ feet long but I could only get 9 feet of rod through the door. I had to cut it about mid way, support it with the hook and anchor the two pieces into the hook. The closet is VERY short (less than 6') and it will be tough to get some stuff out... but at least we have a place to hang clothes upstairs.

Next project = shelves in the mud room!

All moved in!

Hurray! We're finally here.
Tons of our great friends helped us move in last Friday and now we're all here. The old house will be cleaned out on Wed and we'll be all here, all the time!

The house is less of a disaster zone than when these pictures were taken - things are really starting to come together.



The cable guy is coming tomorrow so I can begin setting up the "media room" - we'll see how it works out.

This is all so much more fun than studying for the bar.

packing while hot sucks

Packing while hot really, really sucks. Thank god it's only 78 today instead of 100+ like the last few days. Still, toting things around really gets a person heated up.

I will be glad when all this packing is over - then we can unpack!














Everything we own in one big pile.















Buster'd rather surf the web than help.

the deal is done!

We signed all the paperwork yesterday so the house is ours! We take possession and are moving in on Friday! So exciting!
