The House

To those who may not know, in the span of about 48 hours right after I left for the US, we sold our UK house, sold our Auckland house, and purchased a total "do-up" a few blocks away. Whew!!! Iain worked like a dog while I was away, consulting lawyers, realtors, and builders. He also attended about 5 million open homes to make doubly sure we were making the right decision to buy the fixer-upper. When I got home, we dove right in. We measured rooms, drew up potential plans, and discussed everything from hardwood floors to appliances to number of bedrooms to whether we can afford a pool (totally not). It's really exciting. I just hope the cats like the new digs!
