We started moving Monkey Boy's stuff into Mabel this weekend, promptly filling the bindery to bursting. It makes me wonder if those lovely rubbery nubbins that provide the cushion under the bamboo can lose their bounce-back ability? We'll find out.

I almost got an offer on Construction HQ, then started feeling all silly that I might have put the price too low. I am still learning this real-estate game, although it truly has gotten easier.

Thankfully, the offer never materialized, so I can stick with refined plan of fixing up the place even more and getting a good price. As one sage said, $100 of paint could add $10,000 in value. Maybe it'll pay for the wedding?!

Even though we don't have occupancy yet, Monkey and I love sleeping in the bindery, our only complaint being that it can actually get too hot. New neighbors say the radiant heat system's so effective they have shut off their second floor hydroponic units completely. We (builder, architect, me) always knew the concrete first floor would collect and ooze heat, but we never guessed how much.

Meanwhile, I dream of boxing up all the stuff in Construction HQ and clearing it out. It occurs to me that house represents the beginning and end of this whole deal. Everyone said it would take two years, and guess what? I closed on the house and lots March 5, 2004, so I am right on schedule.
