I’m still here! I haven’t abandoned the blog; I’ve just been offline.
For most of February and March, I was working about 30 hours a week at the new house, which of course, did not leave a lot of spare time for blogging. Then, the first week of April we moved into the new house, which we discovered is in an internet dead zone. We finally got connected yesterday–which is a story in and of itself.
But first, a little catching up:
We still have a lot to do on the house, but I finished my great big “Must Be Done Before We Can Move In” list. The painting is finished, the floors are finished, and the sink and counters are installed.
I have moved on to my big “Needs to Be Done Soon After We Move In” list. Most of these are smaller jobs or ones that can be done a little at a time. But, I have to admit that the list isn’t shrinking as quickly as I’d like. It’ll get done sometime!

My wife and I are also building a house. We are maybe a week or two away from a temporary occupancy permit, it cannot come soon enough. I’m looking forward to being in it, but not to the giant list of stuff I will have to do.l
