Summary

Our entire approach to renovating our new house from afar has changed pretty dramatically since February when we first started house hunting, including a period in which we didn’t think we’d be tackling any major projects at all. And lots of you have been asking for a rundown of what we’re doing now, what’s left, and how long we think this house reno might be. So today we’re taking you down that rabbit hole and sharing how our plans shifted quite a few times - and where we ended up. Plus, why packing all of our belongings was a more intense process than we expected, and an update on our move date. Oh, and what really makes for an “adult” kitchen?

0:38.8	It was a momentous thing to see it roll out.
0:40.8	I was like, be well, Godspeed, all the things I love.
0:44.6	Yes, it was a little bit more nerve-wracking than I expected it to be because we have used
0:49.9	a pod before when we had our floors refinished in this house just downstairs.
0:54.7	So we had to move all of the furniture in our first floor out of the house and we put
0:58.5	it in a pod in the driveway.
