I honestly can't believe how quickly you've unpacked. It always takes us months, because we reach a certain point and everything after that is "would be nice" and there's just a certain level of clutter that surrounds us.

I have, believe it or not, dealt with That Bookcase. I don't know what came over me. :)

endless circle of hell that is “it’s not possible to have too many books” and “WE HAVE TOO GODDAMN MANY BOOKS.”

I'm impressed. We're still in progress--well, in part because One Set of Things is 350 miles away from The Other Set of Things, and, well, after painting and cleaning and all...we're tired. Plus we are still Doing Things like installing a woodstove, and the basement still needs to be cleaned (oil furnace was originally coal furnace, and, well, no one's cleaned up the rafters and walls from The Coal Era). We've got it partially cleaned, but it's a work in progress.
