When last I wrote, I hadn’t even moved into my house yet. And now I have to catch up on three weeks (!) of move-in, furniture rearranging, and acquisition of stuff. So brace yourself, this is going to be a slew of new posts all at once. And bracing is highly appropriate, since at this very moment there are two guys in my basement making very loud noises as they install the braces on the south wall, which will keep it from falling in. YAY!
