House Miscellanea

So I'm the proud owner (well co-owner) of a fantastic house! The closing was pretty simple, we just signed our live away for 30 minutes on countless sheets of paper, and we even got the keys at the end!

Moving day was pretty awesome. The weather was perfect for moving: sunny and 70s. When I went to Budget to get the truck that morning I was think thinking it was way bigger than we needed. We got a 24 foot truck for our move from the City to Brighton and almost filled it all up, but without layering too much. This time my dad took care of playing tetris with all the boxes and packed that truck as much as we could. When the truck was absolutely stuffed, we had to use Rachelle's father's and brother's pickup trucks, my parent's minivan, my Cherokee, Rachelle's Accord and her mom's car. It was a zoo but we got everything packed and over in 1 trip and in about 2.5 hours. We were a little slower in unloading though...

I'm slowly getting things done and to my liking (network jacks in the office, cable tv run to the laundry room, locks all keyed alike) and Rachelle is busy picking out paint colors (even though I think white is fine). We're really lucky the place was in such nice condition, we didn't need to do anything for it to be livable. That makes it much easier to concentrate on tweaking things to the way you want them. I'll put some pictures of soon.
