The move went pretty smoothly on Thursday and we got most of our stuff from the old house to the new. All the large furniture and as much stuff as we could get packed into boxes made their way over eight hours from the old house to the new house. Furniture is in place and beds were reassembled. Boxes were stored in the garage to be brought in one by one at our leisure, and we've probably gotten through about half of them.
Three days living at the new house and we're just getting used to things. The kids seem to be settling in well but have reverted to coming into our bed early in the morning. Things are starting to make their way into drawers, and a quick shopping trip to Bed Bath and Beyond and Costco have filled in the gaps for storage and food.
The move wasn't without mishap though. The new TV we purchased for the house was to be installed by the Sound Vision on Friday, but discovered to be cosmetically broken.
Although both the shipping and product boxes were intact, the back glass on our Sony XBR-65A1E was shattered around the mounting bar points. For now we have the old Samsung hanging in the great room. Also the Miele Dishwasher isn't running and is displaying a "fault 78". Google tells me that it might be a stuck impeller and there are ways to get it unstuck that I might try out tonight.
We haven't had much time to really relax and enjoy ourselves, but I'm hoping that after the fervor of the move dies down, we'll get some much needed relaxation before we tackle the next project: getting the old house rehabilitated to sell.
