Update on the settlement and move. It went well. Which is to say, it was conducted successfully. Barring unexpected massive windfalls, I am unlikely to welcome having to repeat the process at any point in the next few years. Place is still replete with boxes. I find little in the way of time or inclination to finish the unpacking. Claude (our felid) refuses to talk to me. And the previous owners took the dishwasher as well as the shed (the shed! - out of the backyard) when they left. Now is the time as the tension begins to unwind that I begin to notice the things I never spotted during the inspections before auction. Why does the floor on this corner feel strangely spongy and hollow under the boards? Why does this tile in the kitchen rock slightly when stepped upon? Why is there a gap between the earth and the wall of the house in the backyard? For now, I aim to pursue none of these concerns.
