We've been in for 10 days or so now and it's been a slow trickle of tasks getting taken care of, but mostly unboxing. I replaced both shower heads last weekend and that was a nice improvement! My mom could never make a decision on knobs/handles for the vanities and the kitchen, so we took care of that. I've been hanging stuff here and there as well. Sunday, I spent a half day outside cleaning up leaves, mowing the front, and cleaning up the disaster that was the backyard. The basketball court and decks were loaded with boxes, trash and outdoor stuff that just got dumped. Feels good to have that taken care of and it looks way better!
We will be hosting both families for Thanksgiving and it'll be the first one where I've done the cooking, so it's a nice, formal changing of the guards. We'll have the main living areas button up by then, so we'll have established some order amongst the chaos.
Tonight, I mounting the TV on the wall and buttoning up the AV situation in prep for The Game this weekend.
It's starting to feel like home, but a different iteration than I've know since 1996!
