We're finally in the house
It seemed like it would never happen; however, we closed on the house Thursday and immediately started the process of moving in.
Of course, the first item in was the 65" TV (I had strategically placed it in the POD last so that it would be the first thing out). In order to help break up the monotony of moving, I went ahead and set up most of the equipment in the manroom, too.
Over the next couple of days, we unloaded both PODs, had a fridge delivered and various services hooked up (cable modem, DirecTV).
Sunday, we finally started to dig out of all of the boxes. we were able to get the dining room set up (furniture in, curtains and pictures hung), the master bedroom mostly set up (bed and dresser reassembled, desk & computer hooked up, new TV hooked up)and most of the stuff in the kitchen put away.
We still have the living room, the master closet and the kids' bedroom's to tackle (as well as clearly out all of the boxes that are currently in the garage). Plus, we've got some stuff still left in storage that we need to retrieve by Friday. It should be fun.
I'll post some photos once I am able to find the camera.
