A house is a pile of stuff with a lid on it

As we approach week four of unpacking (gadzooks!) , we've managed to set up a living area, dining area, and a desk area all in the main room. We still have a waaaays to go, but at least we can pretend to be normal people now.

We've hauled away over 350 gallons of trash. Most of that was packing materials, but there was a fair amount of "Why do we have 8 half-used bottles of Elmer's glue?"


We've also created The Outbox, (which has grown to 12 boxes) of things to sell/donate/give, or failing that, pitch. Everything from coffee mugs to an entire Playstation2 ensemble. We'll inventory it soon, so if anyone needs anything... :)

It's so painful to think we moved all that stuff only to get rid of it. But alas... we didn't have time to weed through it before our Honeymoon. So it went from our old place, into the truck, into storage, into the truck, to my parents basement in NJ, back into the truck, then here.
