I have heat
(even if the new furnace is only temp-ed in for now. Full install with new AC is coming. Now just have to wait for the credit card that's going to pay for this all until the rebates come in to show up)

I swept the storage attic
So I don't have to wear slippers in there or track new roof bits out onto carpeting anymore

Don't have to buy a new dryer, I fixed mine
(not a short story, but not a hard one, the point I knew where I had potentially fixed it was when I pulled a handful of lint out of the side of the house and hot, moist, steamy air starting coming out! The more minor part of the fix is realizing I can't use the sensor drying have to use the timed drying)

The dining room is done, again.
As we say at work these days: It was done before. Now it's done-done.

Halloween decorations are up for the outside of the house
(pictures to come... theoretically) Though I still want to put a big cauldron out, oh and have to get flickering light blubs and a punpkin!

The family room is set up, including changing with cable outlet is active, and looks nice to me
(though books still need to get out of boxes onto the shelves)

The kitchen was already done, the computer area was already done though needed a little adjustment for the family room change (and of course needs constant re-finishing since it was one of the first finished areas and so stuff goes there when I don't have a place to put it yet), my bedroom and bathroom were already done, and the two other bathrooms too, and the chandeliers had already been swapped - though one still needs blubs put in and the glass put on it.

OH - And I had my first "I love my house" moment this weekend. Goodness occurs :)

I also met my potential new across the street neighbors (and their parents, aunts, etc). I really like them, I hope everything goes through! They've already had the home inspection and are looking to be in there in about 1 month. They have to two kids, and the girl will be right around babysitting age when I might start needing a babysitter ;)

Things are coming along. I *might* actually be ready in time for my Halloween party!
