We’re down to the final work to be done before we can move in.  My dad has generated a list of work to do before moving, and I am sticking it to the front page of this blog so nobody ever has to search for the post with the checklisst on it.  I am sure that as we continue working and marking items off the list, we will find 10 new items for every 1 we complete for a while; however, eventually we will start making headway in this battle and we will start marking off 5 items for every new one we add.  So here’s our “To Do” list, wish us luck completing it:
