Almost totally moved in

Okie dokie, here's the current update to the ongoing status of the new homestead:

1.We still don't have our screens for the windows..after three months...and as the weather cools it would be lovely to be able to open the windows and allow the fresh *cough* air flow through the house. It would also help keep the electric bill down because we're having to run the AC because there's no straight fan function. Ah, well, we'll have to see what happens.
2. We only have six major pieces of furniture to move and four of those are book cases. We have to pack and move the doll display cabinet, the armoire, book cases, and the old sewing machine that will go at the head of the hallway. Then, the books and we can start sorting from there.
3. Sadly, there were less than 15 days the entire summer we were able to use our new swimming pool, and here it is time to put it away for the year. I think I'm going to just drain it, call for a load of sand to be brought in, have someone come help me pick it up and move it to the sand pit, and level it from there. I'll put a frame around the sand to keep it in place, stack stuff in the middle of the pool, put the cover on so it peaks a bit, and call it good for the winter.
4. Soon as I find the CD I burned all the new pictures off to, I'll copy it and send out the copies rather than take up bandwidth. I think that's a better idea than having everyone try to download half a gig of pix.

That's the update for the moment. The river, like the semester, flows onward.

Love to everyone,
Dad
