We are now Virginians! We don't have the papers to prove it yet, but we'll head over to the DMV to get licensed and registered to vote (deadline for the November elections is today).
The house is mostly fabulous, with little problems we're tracking for our GC to fix -- he's supposed to be here sometime today. We jerryrigged up drapes in the bathroom and bedroom, so the neighbors aren't getting a free show; looks like hell, but we figure that's incentive to solve the window covering problem sooner rather than later. (Though not for lack of trying -- we've been to blinds places four separate times, and keep getting stymied by our GREAT BIG GIANT bedroom windows. It's going to be spendy to solve that, so if we're dropping the cash, we want to do it right...and therein lies the delay. Neither of us have had brain cells enough to spare to make those sorts of decisions yet.)
I think we've got about 90% of the unpacking done, and most of what's left are books that we're not unpacking until we've got a better final solution for them. We did an assload of unpacking while the movers were still here Thursday and Friday, and they took a LOT of boxes away, but we've got empty boxes stacked up in several different places. Time to find the local dump, I guess!
