February 27th 2006




So we are homeowners! The closing went fine and with sleeping bags and cats loaded in the car we went over to the house and crashed there Fri and Sat night. Lots of work to do especially as the floor guy is coming Wednesday to refinish etc.
Shani, John, Henry and Hannah stopped by to become our first official guests. H & H ran around the house all the time - they love the two stairways as they can do laps.
Cats do not like the big empty rooms with no where to hide and at 4:30 am Saturday morning were jumping around on the bed and eventually both of them buried down my sleeping bag for the rest of the night.
Saturday morning was a quick drive to the Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru' - all of 1/2 mile away - and then on with the projects...

I have already pulled 160 nails out of the walls. One of the sellers liked to paint (and apparently hang) lots of pictures but had not (apparently) heard of a picture hook so there were all kinds of sizes and types of nails all banged into the plaster walls through a little "X" of scotch tape. So make that 160 nails pulled and about 100 little scotch tape "X"s removed. Many holes spackled.
