So, we have finally acquired a house. This is awesome. Though, we haven’t even had it for 24 hours and I have already put (accidentally!) a couple of holes in the wall, because when I changed the locks I accidentally put the screws for the catch plate in just ever-so-slightly crooked, and the design of the wall there did not give me much room for error. Damnit. Oh, well. We’ll fix that tomorrow, probably.

Tomorrow’s list: get one more lock set installed (we forgot a door—how did we do that‽) and start getting some of the minor things that we can do taken care of, such as replacing the ancient thermostat that is in there with a more accurate and efficient digital one which is programmable, fixing the stupid holes I made today, and trying to take an inventory of all the minor repairs that we are looking at having to do over the next year. Nothing there that is awful or time-critical, of course, but little annoying things, like a couple of the cracks that someone managed to put in the floor, replace various pieces of trim that have been broken, or fill in little holes here and there to even things out. Oh, and a toilet seat, three 9 volt batteries, and… something else I am forgetting.

Oh, well. Time for bed.
