Living in a Construction Zone
The nice part about having moved in already is that we no longer have to “go to the new house” to work on it. We can just wake up in the morning on the weekends and get to work. The bad part about having moved in already is that we can not unpack yet because nothing is really finished enough to put things away. That is not entirely true. The bedrooms are pretty much done. The family room and living rooms are done except for some minor painting that still needs to be done. The kitchen on the other hand is not done. We are still working on the cabinets and the countertops so we can not put anything away yet over there. Living in a construction zone seems to be twice the work because there is the maintenance of the house itself now that we are living in it and the construction that is going on as well. We can no longer just leave the tools around and lock up. As difficult as it may be sometimes it is worth it to be here already and watch the kids really enjoy living here.
