1.1 miles

This built-in piano is definitely the strangest feature in our new house. It catches anyone's eye just as they come down the stairs into the basement, which we hope to make into a family game room.

Yes, our new house. As of Friday, we officially own two houses, which, really, is a crazy, crazy thought. Our soon-to-be-0ld house isn't on the market yet because we hope to do some things [new roof, drywall, finish re-painting upstairs ...] first.

I still hope to be in my the end of the month. Yes, that's soon. Like a day less than two weeks. And it seems possible.

The Lowe's guys are going to install the new floor [carpet in bedrooms, laminate throughout most of the rest of the house] while the other guys who have been working [painting, mostly ...] finish tiling the 2 1/2 bathrooms. After that, we should be good to start moving things, then ourselves, into the house.

I guess that means I ought to finish packing this house so we're ready to go to that house, which is just 1.1 miles away.
