I really had intended to update this every day until the project was completely done, but if I had been updating it every day this week, my posts would be like, "I unpacked a box today. That is all." Hahaha.
Moving in pretty much killed the whole project. Before, we were working so hard to make the place livable, and now that we live here, the motivation to finish the painting and cleaning is gone. The only painting we have left to do is some of the trim and some of the doors. And the only major cleaning we have to do is the master bathroom. But I've been perfectly content using the other bathroom. Even after I scrub the entire master bath with bleach, I'm still not going to feel good about going in there barefoot. And speaking of bathrooms, I don't know if something is wrong with our water heater or what, but we get a whopping five minutes of hot water for our showers. I did get a new showerhead that should almost double that time, but we haven't installed it yet.
Aside from killing our motivation to do actual work on the house, the house has been a disaster, organization-wise. Our boxes weren't exactly organized since the packing was all very last minute. So you get one room unpacked and straightened up. You move on to another box. You find a shoe that belongs in the bedroom you just finished straightening. So you throw the shoe in the bedroom (yes, I know I should put it away, rather than throwing it, but I don't) and go back to the box you were unpacking. Oh look, a shirt that belongs in that other bedroom too. Toss it in there. And before you know it, the bedroom needs to be straightened up again. It's an endless cycle, which kills my motivation for unpacking. The only room that is completely unpacked (I think) and straightened up is our bedroom. Hopefully I'll get everything else finished this afternoon/evening before church.
