Hello, New House ...

... and hello, new-ish life. 

We moved in uneventfully. Furniture fits pretty well. Some odd things need to update -- a couple of rugs, bedding, lamps. The colors or sizes are don't work well, but it's nothing major.

Heading to the new house.

Drugged and hiding.

We have some settling kinks at night. Our dog is having a hard time not being able to walk the house at night. We don't have options for doors open and he hates it. This is an issue because the stinker is barking at us to open them. Fun times.

We had door chimes (with an unknown security code) going off at night. Fortunately, we hacked that startup code lol. Can you guess? 1234

We have sliding doors in the bathroom that need a stopper because they slide right off and that's a pain going to the bathroom during the night to try and realign them. 

My craft room and workout room are coming along. I'm excited to get using it -- it's light and colorful. We need help getting the secret bookshelf door back on the mechanism and the HVAC guy is coming to assess the ventilation in the workout room.

My office is another story. The dark "color drenching" is creating an issue with glare and dark areas in the morning. It's okay once the sun is up, but I'll use this room primarily in the early morning. The camera lit the room more in these pictures. We might need to have it painted -- I'll give it a go and keep trying lighting options. 

Overhead light is the
worst glare

Moody, but I can't see well.

All these things are moving in issues and we can work them out. It's interesting that we had no issues at our last house. The house fit like a glove -- and no one wants to buy it. Geez.

I moved the last of my plants yesterday. Devil of a time finding spots for them. Hopefully, they'll get enough sun. I also had to modify because of my grandson and his reach. It was watering day too -- that project took most of the afternoon.

Watered the old garden and looks like the broccoli is already bolting. Dang, but it's pretty.

Heading to my DIL's mother's for Easter brunch today. I picked up a GF carrot cake from a restaurant. It was quite a carload -- cake and plants. 

Given the immense amount of stuff still to move, we THINK we'll rent a cargo van and do it in one load. Most of what's left requires both of us to move it. Trying to coordinate all that is too much. And we couldn't ride in the same car -- we need to move the passenger seat up too far to ride in it safely. It would be probably 10+ more car trips. Of course, he says that now ...

That's a quick update. More to come. More pictures to come. Have to get going for an early brunch. First time in the workout room. Later gators.
