jumpy jumpy vitamins

Shortly before our second closing date, we discovered that the sellers’ sewer cabling had caused the house’s sewer lateral to collapse. (It’s irrelevant whether the collapse was a direct or indirect result of the cabling, so we didn’t bother pursuing.) The sellers agreed to pay to remedy the problem and extend our rate lock, and the work started about a month later. We finally closed November 7 and moved that weekend. Since then, we’ve been unpacking; replacing locks, light bulbs, hydraulic screen door closers, and thermostats; fighting latent plumbing issues (leaky shower, leaky faucet, valves that break off in my hand, et al.); pulling up carpet to reveal hardwood in iffy condition; and generally trying to make sense of the new place.

Things are starting to come together. We’re planning to spend the long weekend making things somewhat presentable for a month-late birthday dinner – a little paint, a lot less carpet, and maybe even a clothes dryer that is hooked up and working. (The washer is awesome and all, but hang-drying everything can be a bit tedious.)

Now that we’re moved, though, I have lost one massive excuse for teh blogslack. dammit!
