Our move-in date is this Saturday. I just keep telling myself that we are almost at the finish line. It will be nice to have ONE home again next week. And a home I own, too.

The kind of thing I have been doing: Removing wood paneling from the wall.

See, the living room started out looking like this:

Wood paneling and blue carpet. It looks like the 1970s threw up in the room. So you do the following:

1. Remove the paneling.

2. Put in the mysteriously missing insulation.

3. Sheetrock, patch, texture, and paint the wall a nice off-white.

And voila! You get:

I am starting to feel like I can live in this house now.
