And on the 7th day, he rested.......

It's been a busy week moving into our new home. We've still got boxes to unpack and rooms to finish setting up. I spent most of Friday and Saturday hanging up curtains and towel racks. I've become quite proficient at putting in drywall anchors. It's been a lot of work, but it's nice to have curtains finally up in a few of the rooms. I am taking the day off from working on the house to just relax for a day. It's a lot of work to put together a house.

It's actually pretty important to have curtains in a house that is as well insulated as this one. On sunny days, the temperature in the house can easily go up to 75 degrees without any heat despite the fact that it doesn't even reach 55 degrees outside. It's a welcome change from our old house where you could actually feel breezes in some rooms because of the drafty nature of the house.

We had a poker tourney at the house last night. We had 17 people show up. It was a good time and nice to have some normalcy around the house. It's nice to be in familiar surroundings again.
