Almost done

We're so very close to being done with the house fix-ups. And that's a good thing, because JJ and I are exhausted. All we can talk about is how wonderful it'll be. We'll have our free time back, be living in a much more baby-friendly house, and finally be able to unpack the room full of boxes.

The three bedrooms, den, dining room, kitchen, nook, and living room are all painted. The trim in the whole house and all of the doors have been repainted or touched up. The light fixtures have been moved, replaced, or cleaned. All of the hinges and door handles have been replaced. And nearly everything has gotten a thorough cleaning.

We're making an Ikea run tomorrow, as well as a first trip with the pre-packed boxes. The carpet arrives Friday, and we'll let it sit and off-gas over the weekend. Next week, it's into the fray of moving.

There's still little things to be done in the house (cabinet door knobs, new house numbers, paint the front door), dreams of painting the rest of the house (the mud room, the hallway, the bathrooms), and all of the yard work. But we're close enough to move in and do the rest as weekend projects.

I just hope we can get moved before one or the other of us collapses.
