We have a house! Have they keys (well, key) and everything!

Yay!

Which means: now, move.

So, my To Do:

This weekend:
* Go through belongings. Remove anything that's trash, recyclable, or fit for Goodwill that I no longer need or want. (Note to self: You already went through all your books before moving to Seattle. Doing it again less than a year later will take more time than it's worth. Focus on sifting other things, like all the clothes you never wear.)
* Make trips to the recycling center, the trash disposal center, and Goodwill (or find someone to accompany [livejournal.com profile] jmpava on these trips to keep him company, while I clean and sort).
* Arrange with a moving company to move furniture and whatever items we can get boxed in time
* Change of address for everyone and their cousin, especially work.
* Figure out desired floorplan.
* Get a meter reading at the new place.

Early next week:
* Start boxing items, beginning with things we won't need this week (books, nonessential kitchen equipment, papers, video games that we are not actively playing, DVDs that we are not actively watching, clothes that we will not need in the next week or so, craft supplies, etc.)
* Trip to Ikea to get replacement desk (mine hurts my back, so it will be the printer table at the new place). Possibly also acquire more bookshelves (Pava is concerned that we don't have room for the ones we have; I think we have plenty of room; floorplan analysis will determine plan of action re: bookshelves.)
* Get utilities turned on.

...Yay!

Congratulations!

(Hi, by the way. I followed you home from some community or other—maybe [livejournal.com profile] polyamory or [livejournal.com profile] poor_skills—and saw that we have a few friends and interests in common and that your public posts were interesting, so I friended you.)

There is always room for bookshelves. Always always always. I'm a big fan of attaching shelves (see: planks) to walls above things like desks and beds.

And yay house!

Shelves are always good! I think Matt and I have a dozen sets of shelves of various types and our appartment bitty! So I'm sure you guys have room for more bookshelves in your new place! :o)

And, I can't believe how much you can get done so quickly! Good luck this week!
