Yikes!

Well, we're moved in. Moving is exhausting. We don't recommend it :) If you helped us move - thanks so much!

We started packing our boxes into the moving van on Thursday night, and had everything moved into our place by Friday afternoon. We got our dumpster on Monday, and by Tuesday morning we had filled it up already... We just got our phone & internet back this morning. You never know how dependent you are on technology until you don't have it anymore :)

So, we're currently living the basement of our lovely old house. It's actually pretty good - we've got our fridge & stove hooked up down here, and the majority of our "necessary" belongings are crammed into one room. It's kinda like camping in an RV. Or something like that.

We've started ripping apart the main floor of the house. It's so interesting! Under the 1970's fake wood panelling we found 1950's wood fibreboard panelling (painted really cool colours). The ceiling had like 3 layers on it - our roof is about 6 inches taller now than it used to be. There is a beautiful hardwood floor in the living room with mahogany inlays that we hope we can rescue. The walls are filled with wood chips - very well done, but not exactly the best insulator. And then the garage - OH MY. The dude who owned the place was the hugest packrat! We filled our dumpster 1/2 full with just crap from the garage! And that was after we pulled out anything we could possibly sell or give away. He had tons of scrap wood, old bike tires, pieces of the crappy wood panelling from the house, old doors (not the original ones to the house, unfortunately), ancient paint cans, tons of junk. We really don't now how he fit it all in there.

So if you ever feel the need to smash something, come visit us and we'll hook you up!
