My boss bought the big house on our street!

Those of you who know me on FB might have seen me post a link to a house for sale in our neighbourhood--a huge, beautiful two story farm house which has been totally renovated to be a two-family home (one upstairs, the other down), both with beautiful kitchens, plus a lovely landscaped garden/party area outside, a barn, and an outbuilding (another old, but small, farm house, which has had electricity and water run to it, but would need insulation and a few other niceties to make it into a home). If you missed seeing the photos while the Realtor web page had them, you missed seeing a place of beauty.

My boss, who has been commuting to LuleƄ from his home in Uppsala, has decided that it is time to move, and I think he has chosen a beautiful place to do so.

On Monday, as I have already mentioned, we bought a house. We borrowed a good camera from a friend so that we could take photos of everything, so that in later years we will have something to compare when we wonder if any given thing we notice has always been like that. Did we remember to bring the camera with us when we went to the house on Monday? No, of course not. How about Tuesday? Nope, not even. Today is Wednesday, and today we remembered. Of course, part of that remembering may be that we finally have a bit of snow to make the photos prettier.

The big moving day will be Friday, when [livejournal.com profile] lord_kjar's brother will bring his huge trailer to move most of the things in just a couple of trips. However, in the meantime I have been enjoying a leisurely method: pack a few boxes of kitchen toys, bring them over, up pack them, put them away. I did this yesterday during the day with one car load of boxes, and in the evening we packed up another car load of boxes. This morning we both drove over before work, he helped me carry in boxes, took a few photos and went to work. I happily put stuff away, then went for a walk. I am going to love living in this place.

Here is a map of the path I took for today's walk. )

Now I should put down the computer and pack a bit more kitchen stuff. It would be fun to have that all done and unpacked on the other end before Friday and the moving of the heavy stuff...
