Of course, they still have to hook up the bathtub and fix whatever's caused both buildings on the property to be waterless for two weeks, but hey--soon it'll be mine, all mine (for a regular monthly rental fee).

I'll post pictures when I have 'em, but I couldn't wait to tell y'all.

Thanks for your good wishes on moving day, bunnies. I'm so glad to be able to come back with good news (at the usual island speed, but there you go).
