The Big Move ... it's coming soon

I was on the Cape this past weekend to work on the house with my Dad. I was in New Jersey for work and on Friday night I drove to Falmouth. That was a miserable experience. It took me almost 3 hours to go 40 miles thanks to NYC traffic. Anyway, I got to my best friend Crissy's house (in Woods Hole) around 11 PM, we talked for a bit and then I crashed on the pull out. This saved me driving up to my folks house (40 miles away) just to drive back in the AM. In the morning, Crissy, her husband, their kids and I walked over to the coffee shop in Woods Hole. We had some morning beverages and snacks before I headed over to the house. It will be so nice to be living close to them.

At the house, things are really starting to come together and we will move there sometime in the next month. All the exterior work is done except for the stone needs to be delivered and spread for the driveway. Inside the house, more painting needs to be done. My Mom plans on spending a lot of time painting the rooms we didn't get done last month when Melissa, Abby and I were there. I will never be able to repay her for all that painting. I don't mind a day or two of painting, but this will be a solid week. Super-Mom status for sure. A picture of Abby's room is below (currently lacking a little boarder between the two colors) which we were able to paint last month.
This weekend, my Dad and I worked on installing kitchen cabinets and other projects that are "fussy" in nature. You plod along on them to get something to fit just right and before you know it the day is half gone. But when I left on Monday afternoon, all the appliances had arrived and it was really starting to look like a house.
Most of the finish electrical work is done and the finish plumbing will start any day now. The carpeted areas will get installed in the next week or so, and that is one of the last items. I promise, many more pictures when we get in.

As for the Rochester house, we have been slaving away to get it ready for sale. We currently have it on the Rochester Craig's List site and I made up a snazzy brochure that we will post over at U of R and some other places. If we don't get any bites soon, we will bring in a Realtor. But, we thought we would take a stab at it on our own at first.
