Yeah - we're not going to go crazy. Right now we're in a rush because there's a few things (like pulling up that carpet) that will just be soooo much easier to do before the furniture moves in. (I did convince her that we don't have to paint the bedrooms right away even tho' she's not a big fan of the current color - but damn it that paint is brand new. I'll live with the color until we need to paint.) But other than that we're just kind of collecting a list - then we'll figure out what to do first. Of course our priorities are somewhat different... she thinks we need to redo the basement bathroom; I think we should build a server closet in the utility room and the kids think that we should put up a swing-set. Of course there's really nothing that needs to be done - the house is in "move-in" condition. But there's a lot that could be done!
