The housewarming is officially done (was, as of Saturday). I can't exactly say it went off without a hitch, though. I fucked up at least one electrical box (minutes before guests arrived), and I did not get to the yard or cardboard pile (of death). All in all, though, we got a lot of what we wanted to done.
So why did everybody leave after like 2 hours? Perhaps we stink.
Anyway, on Monday we took the cats to have their reproductive organs removed. This had the humorous side effect of converting them into Elizabethans, or possibly household appliances.
The following day, while the kittens continued to recover and foster an addiction to their pain medications, we moved all the furniture outside or into the kitchen, and Jessica carefully supervised as the carpet was installed. The new carpet is quite plush.
Ok, back to work.
