It's Official!

The papers are signed, the payments made, and we picked up our keys today! This is what homeowners look like:

As you can see, we didn't waste any time getting started. Here's what we accomplished tonight:

• Taped off 75% of relevant walls in preparation for Raf's popcorn peeling session this weekend.
• Lit candles in the smelly bathroom.
• Pulled baseboards in the bedrooms and hallway, preparation for pulling the carpets.
• Broke in the kitchen by consuming our first frosty beers, quite a feat considering there's no fridge (Raf packed an ice chest).
• Pulled most randomness from the walls--dozens of picture hangers, small shelves, lighting fixtures, and the lovely wall o' mirrors that you see me pictured in above.
• Programmed the number for the neighborhood Round Table in both of our phones, while picking up our first 10pm post-reno pizza.

I'm sure you'll be seeing these fun little lists regularly--at least I hope the work gets done consistently!
