I closed on the house Wednesday afternoon and it's all mine.

Since then, I've been making numerous trips there and back with Minesh, using our twin Tacomas to transport the bulk of my stuff. I was planning on having a bunch of people help me move tomorrow (Saturday), but we've basically moved almost all of the bulky/heavy stuff that requires more than one person to move. Tomorrow we're going to try to figure out how to move my mattress (the one item too large for the Tacomas (with the camper shells on, anyway)) and then I will officially change Mouser HQ over from Los Alamos to White Rock.

The cats are really freaking out due to the sudden lack of furniture in my apartment. They're going to really go ape when I bring them down to the house this weekend.

I've made some baby steps towards my goal of structured wiring in the house. So far, this consists of ripping out the baseboard along one wall, cutting the drywall behind it, and drilling a 2" hole in the top plate of the wall for a future conduit install. Cutting drywall with a circular saw, by the way, makes an incredible mess. This prompted today's purchase of a sweet shop vac.

And, as required by local statutes, I air-guitared it.

Badass.

I apologize for the lack of posts here; I don't yet have internet available in my new house, and I don't have anywhere to sit in my apartment, so there's isn't much computer usage going on. Also, I left the SLR down in White Rock with all the real pictures of the interior. Some day...
