More house doings, in list format

This was the latest in a month's worth of 14-hour workdays.Today's results:Forgot to take enough pictures of progress (oops)Built 4 bookcases & a tableSquished loads of plastic wrap into one l'il bagRemembered follow-up appointment with locksmithCut tons of cardboard into recycle-bin-sized piecesFilled the recycle can past capacityHung artwork on the walls where nails were left by previous ownersShowed friends around the new placePut felt footies on a bunch of bookcases oil & newPlace d& leveled various furniture piecesDonated another ton of cardboard to a friend's recycle binEmptied book boxes & generated MORE cardboard. (Keeping these boxes, tho)At the old house:Packed, moved, & stored much of the Fancy Dishware I've inherited over the yearsTrimmed back weeds  & fed birdsgot the trash, recycles & garden waste bins out, and returned them when empty.Somewhere in there I worked on my list of native perennials I like so I can share it with a landscaper who will help me with designing & digging in my new yard gardens...it's getting to be a long list.And I watched The Incredibles 2. Because we have internet & TV now, and it made great background noise for furniture assembly.Today's firsts: first use of microwave (it's fancy!) and first drink spill. (iced tea, on old carpet that has successfully weathered many a previous spill at the old house.)Progress pics:IMG_6354IMG_6356IMG_6359Bonus pic of our moving crew from Monday at the end of their successful campaign. I wholeheartedly recommend Brom's. Lynn let us know exactly what we needed and provided plenty of excellent prep advice, and on Moving Day, Dennis, Brian, and Kevin did a fantastic job managing a complicated relocation.IMG_6329.JPGAnd that's all until later.
