House update
Aug. 22nd, 2007 12:28 pmAlmost ready to go.
Most of the painting is done. We still have a lot of trim to do, if we want to do it at all, but the walls are finished. The new hardwood floor is down in the guest room and the master bedroom, and that's about all the flooring we're going to do, at least right now. I'd love to put in wood floors downstairs, too, but it's expensive and time-consuming.
We shampooed the carpets last night - huge difference. I'm sure a professional cleaning would be even better, but even just a treatment with the rental unit made the carpets look much more sanitary. The water we poured out of the shampooer was absolutely disgusting. Amazing to think it had all come from the carpet.
Much of our stuff has already been moved over. Because the new house is not too far away, we have been loading up my car at night with boxes, and then we unload them into the basement after work. The amount of crap we have managed to accumulate is staggering, and that doesn't include the storage shelter.
Still to-do: disassemble furniture, pack up china, pack clothes.
Two more days until we move.
