When the upstairs finally became available, we began moving items from the first floor and a few boxes from the storage units.
My new bedroom/studio was the first one to be fully ready for occupancy. It’s the smallest of the four, while the front two rooms were still being used by the carpenters as they worked on the front exterior. They still have some tweaks before coming into their intended use. The fourth, our guestroom, is at the moment mostly storage. This does seem to feel like musical chairs.
Still, things that had long been packed away have finally came out into daylight and become accessible. We’ve even had some more room to stir about in.
Not for long, though. The future dining room aka my former bedroom/studio was quickly designated as a staging area when we cleared out our storage unit at the other end of the state. In time, it will likely be a storage space when we get to renovating the kitchen and downstairs bathroom. Those Ikea kitchen cabinets, for one, will take up a lot of room somewhere before they go up on the wall. As for appliances? Or an extra sawhorse or two?
And we thought we were done with that sense of camping in this house?
Get ready for Phase Two, hopefully still in my lifetime.
