The absolute chaos inside:



Moving in is such fun! It poured rain all day on Friday, of course. But we got almost everything from the old house into the new house, there are still a few small things left at the old place.

Incidentally, the weird circle on the wall is a remnant of an old fireplace that had been fitted with a woodstove, and then it was all taken out at some point prior to our seeing and purchasing the house. But it won't take much to reopen it if we so choose, so we'll see. Definitely not real high on the priority list right now....
