Eight Weeks In...

Whew. With the house complete, we've paid some attention to other topics, like taxes. And, we've continued to enjoy the house.

As we've held a few dinner parties, we've adapted our cleaning routines to the new finishes. And that brought an insight, voiced by Laura.

Since we've got the same number of dogs, but a little more space, you can stretch the time between sweeping a bit because the dust bunny density is lower.

Dash Unpacks

After Sunday morning breakfast, Laura was getting discouraged. She'd been unpacking for over a day and a half, and there was still more. Here we were in the biggest room in the house, surrounded by piles of boxes and packing paper.

Dash sensed Laura's mood, and within a minute, happily began helping. This video captures his evident joy.



What the clip missed is even more impressive. Before I was able to start shooting, Dash had already pulled out one of the blue cannisters - you see it on the counter about half way through this clip, in the upper right of the frame.

Last Night of the Remodel

Tonight's the last night to refer to "the remodel." Tomorrow, we move back in, and it again becomes "home."

The cleaners left about 7 tonight. It was a great time to take a tour of the space, and to get a sense of the lighting. Enjoy.
