It'll Be A Cold Day In Hell Before I Get Back Into That RV!

We've been out of the RV now for about 1 month. Have not accomplished much though regarding the house.

I was working a large event when we moved in. It consumed me. I had to put unpacking boxes off for a little bit. I'm back to it now but it still seems to be taking far too long.

We've hung pictures for the past two days. Just in the living and dining rooms. So much more to hang! That's one downside to having a husband who likes to buy art work when we travel -- and we have traveled A LOT!

We also did finally get the fence in. The dogs were thrilled, as were we. No more walking the dogs on leashes except for when they go to daycare.

We have a lot of painting to do...and yes, probably should have done it before we hung pictures. But the paint on the walls is fresh and not horrible, so I decided we could wait. Especially for when it gets cooler. We've been experiencing a heatwave here in the Pacific NW. Up to 100 a couple of times! And the house is not air conditioned. We won't be installing central air, but we will probably at some point add a couple of ductless units. Mostly so we can sleep in the master bedroom upstairs. We've been in the guest room downstairs where it's MUCH cooler.

The front of the house faces east and the back west, so we get a LOT of sunshine. I did not realize just how hot a place can get when you have floor to ceiling windows, unrelenting sunshine, and high temps. Really hot. Good thing the blackout curtains finally arrived. I feel a bit like a vampire now.
