All moved in, well kinda...

We still have lots of stuff in the cabin - who knew we owned so much? And there's still a storage room with furniture in it as well. That's waiting until Sean finishes the basement.

But, as of last Friday, we're now living in the house :) The cats are settling in well.

Below are some photos.

The hardwood installer finished on Thursday afternoon - here are the results (before we moved the furniture in):

Here's what my library looked like the day we moved in:

I started putting books out on shelves over the weekend:

Cleo had some thoughts on the whole move:

Here she is on the staircase:

And here's Chloe helping with books:

Cleo has found every little nook and cranny, including what little space there is under the bookcase in my writing nook:

Not to be outdone, Chloe also explored every spot she could, and almost couldn't, fit into:

Yesterday my in-laws very kindly brought over our couch and love seat during a break in the rain, so we were able to set up the living room once Sean was home from work:

The cats were overjoyed to see the furniture:

Here's Chloe looking out the library window this afternoon while I worked on unpacking and shelving the last of the books (well, sort of - not quite enough room right now!):

Sean has a lot of books too, so I've been sorting those into boxes for his office - below you can see the kind of progress I've made so far:

Cleo decided she'd had enough and went to sleep on my lap when I sat down to check my email, using my keyboard as a pillow:

while Chloe checked out the view from the other window:

Our front and deck doors will be installed on Thursday - yay!!! More photos then :)

Another update...

Our hardwood is being installed today - hopefully he'll be finished by noon tomorrow. The stairs will be the slow part. And we have to hope the installer's wife doesn't go into labour before he's done - everyone cross your fingers!!

Regardless, we stayed over on Saturday and woke up to this:

Yesterday we moved my office over too - here's what the writing nook looks like now:

And here are a couple of shots of the hardwood installation in progress:

As long as things with the hardwood work out, we can do the final move this weekend.

I'm in the middle of writing an article, so hope to make the blog rounds once that's done!

Getting close...

We have fire!

Yay!!!

More photos going up at the house blog.

Meanwhile, I'm still fighting my late summer cold. Not fun.

Don't forget, it's Talk Like A Pirate Day - Arrrrrrrrrr.
