Well, house stuff continues. Yesterday I moved (literally) a ton of stuff. Over 2000 pounds of flooring from the trailer up to the house as Firefly and FireflyMom were starting to get ready to lay flooring. I felt very manly.

Ugh. Ok, things are moving nice and quickly, in a way I guess. The house inspection is going to happen this afternoon, and I met with the mortgage broker last night. My current stress out is getting money out of somewhere (a stone maybe?) to to make the 10% down instead of 5%, so I
