First of all, our floor is done! And it looks wonderful, I must say. I was a little concerned that we were spending too much money putting it in, but it makes the house look SO much better that I think it will be WELL worth it when it comes time to sell this place. See below (note, still without any furniture or the newly painted walls, color TBD)
Now fortunately for us, not even 24 hours after our floors were finished, our container arrived at our house! Literally right after we paid the customs fee, they brought it over! And, the best part? They unloaded EVERYTHING. Carried it into our house/garage, and that was that. Easy peazy. I was all ready to get a good workout in unloading our thousands of pounds of items from the container and then carrying it all up our mini mountain driveway, so this was quite a pleasant surprise. Now I thought I did a pretty good job labeling all the boxes so we knew what was inside before opening them, but I had one major oversight... I forgot to label the box with all the PARTS in order to rebuild all of our furniture. So 6 hours and 70 opened boxes later, we managed to come across everything we needed.
So at this point, we have taken a whole bunch of stuff out of boxes, and not really put much of it away. We still can't put our furniture on the hardwood because we need to clean it and seal it (which won't happen for another couple of days). Basically our house is a mess, we can barely walk through the hallways and bedroom, BUT, we are so so happy to have all of our stuff!
