In a rather anticlimactic fashion, we closed on the sale of our home today. Having granted power of attorney to our real estate lawyer there was nothing in particular for us to do but wait. Technically speaking, we are now without a home since the closing on our new house has yet to happen even though we have been granted occupancy.

Spreading our move out over the last two weeks allowed us to tackle the project in manageable size chunks and to complete it as a DIY project for a total cost of $100. After hours on the phone with no less than four Comcast customer support representatives last night, I was able to suspend internet/TV service at our old address and establish service at our new one. With both heat and internet operational, we are living large. On my final visit to our now-empty house, I took a few photos as a future reminder of our time there. My shop never looked cleaner or bigger and I can’t wait to start building out my new one.
