We’ve struggled with what to call it.  It’s an old house, much older than the house we currently occupy.  So I’ve squirmed a bit about calling it the new house.

But it’s starting to look new.

And we’ve officially hosted a small family gathering, complete with take-out supper because we have no stove yet.  It felt good–and right–to have my folks and my sister’s fam out for some relaxation.  (Okay I guess we did finish installing one window while they were here.)

Yes, that’s a central air unit.  It’s hooked up and it WORKS!  It will be the first time Sean or I have ever lived in a house with such a luxury as central air.

Lots of old-house-style modification to get the windows to fit…

Still cleaning up roofing materials in the yard…

Last weekend, the two Marks descended upon us.  And just like that.  A closet under the stairs (and another torn out room!)
