Move In Day

The original old pine floors have been refinished and mopped to remove the construction dust that continues to settle every day. The bookshelves are uncovered and the windows washed; you can even see the peaks of the little triangular evergreens I planted in the windowbox over a year ago. The 7am light shines into the front room, calm and pristine.





6 hours later: it's good to have our stuff around us again after a 10 month absence.









There's lots more work ahead--note all the kitchen boxes stacked with the unfinished cabinets behind--but it feels more fun than drudgery. Like playing house.
