Exactly a year ago Jeannette and I moved into our current house, the first house either of us have ever owned.
By about this time of day a year ago we were in the midst of painting (I think we started with our bedroom). For most of the rest of the weekend we were either moving items from our old apartment or painting.
Amazingly enough, by the end of the first weekend we'd painted Jeannette's office and our bedroom. Within a few days we managed to paint my office. Also, while the paint was drying we managed to move most of our belongings and set up shop.
Since then we've had to do a fair bit more work, the re-roofing of the garage being one of the most onerous tasks (though the extra electrical work and the burst pipe and subsequent patch job weren't trivial).
Hard work aside, it's been very, after years of apartment living, to have a house of our own. I'm sure Jeannette's also appreciated finally fulfilling her long-time dream of owning a purple house.
