Bed Stuy Reno

The more things stay the same, the more they change . . . or is it the other way around? In our case, the main constant in G’s and my life is change.

The latest change being that of location. G was offered a job that she couldn’t turn down. In fact, it was her dream job in many ways. The only catch was that the job was located in Philadelphia. And for G to take the job, we would have to be located in Philadelphia.

Long story short, we have moved. But before moving, we had to finish our damn house. Our beautiful damn house. It was done for the most part, but odds and ends still languished. We had decided to keep the house and rent it out. Which meant all those little things that G and I could live would have to finally be resolved. We had already been renting out the top floor apartment (it’s a two-family), but now we would have to race to the finish to get the bottom duplex rented.

Somehow, we made it, and have since successfully transitioned to Philly (about three weeks ago), and have wonderful tenants now living in what was our home.

All the logistics (I needed to find a job in Philly too) and work that had to be done to the house to allow us to move kept us pretty busy, and the blog suffered for it. But now that I write from the comfort of our South Philly rental (I know, I know), I’d like to catch up on the last works we did in the house and finally get to the finish with the blog.
