The holidays have been a busy but fortunately not very stressful time. \u00a0To catch up, the town came through with my occupancy permit and Paul has mostly finished his punch list items. \u00a0Armstrong Hearth & Home (from New Hampshire) came down and used an industrial vacuum system to pull any and all dust from the vents in the house (mostly just drywall dust – but still glad to have it out before moving in!). \u00a0The movers came last Thursday and very, very efficiently moved all my stuff out of my storage locker and over to the house. \u00a0Because it was snowing\/raining on Thursday, we asked them to put the furniture in the house and everything else into the garage. \u00a0Worked out great!<\/p>\n
During the New Year’s weekend, my parent’s very, very graciously offered to help unbox and alphabetize my books (which if you know me, is a large percentage of my “stuff”). \u00a0I focused on carrying the boxes in from the garage and they unboxed and sorted out all the paperbacks. \u00a0The larger art\/coffee table books are staying in their boxes till I have more shelf space arranged. \u00a0I did manage to put up one shelving system and it looks really good – it is from www.rakks.com<\/a>\u00a0and is the same system my parent’s have in their house – an aluminum track and then bar stock that is infinitely adjustable up and down in the track as supports for the shelves. \u00a0I put it in next to where my computer is going to go – just off the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
