house hysteria

This househunting thing takes a lot of time.
D. and I went to a couple of open houses this weekend, just to see what's out there. Locally, commercial and residential areas are zoned in such a way that in our everyday doings we don't go through many other neighborhoods except our own. Tentative conclusions: we need at least our current square footage or more to be comfortable. And a-frames aren't great for D. as his head gets uncomfortably close to the ceiling!
The rest has been a lot of paperwork gathering, phone calling (I hate the phone) and number crunching. It's not the numbers so much as the finding of them all that I find so tedious!
Meanwhile our current landlord needed to work on the electrical outlets behind full bookshelves so we got a start on packing to get them out of their way. Still haven't seen evidence of their repairs, but we've made a dent in the personal library.
The cats can't figure out why we'd want so many full boxes around - they can't jump in them so I think it's messing with their feline feng shui.
