The House Remodel: We Moved In Finally

September 29, 2026

Days in --
First night Sep 27
Fully in by October 4

We moved in finally.

First night was September 27. The bed is in. The bed frame is in. Blinds are up. The master bedroom doors are painted brown.

The master. We moved in.

The closet doors are painted brown. The interior is empty. Shelving is not in yet. We are still painting some of the doors brown. The goal is still to be fully moved in by October 4.

Since the first night

Sleeping here is real now. That is the part I wanted to write down.

The master is far enough along to live in. Doors in that room are brown. The bed and frame are set. Blinds are up.

The closet is delivered and waiting to be installed. Doors are already brown. The inside is empty.

Closet doors brown. Interior still empty.

Finish work is still the job this week. Some doors still need brown paint. Trim is still going too.

Paint and the finish list

I refreshed the Home Depot list today. We still need one gallon of Behr Swiss Brown N210-6 for touch-ups and walls. Same brown as the house. Water and gas connector lines are still open on that list.

For the finish runs and baseboard work, we are also planning Chantilly Lace for trim, a Wooster angled sash brush, DAP Alex Plus caulk, and a CO detector.

Laundry

Washer and dryer get delivered Thursday, October 1. That is going to be awesome.

Fiber

Google Fiber Core 1 Gig is in progress for 4145 S 1175 E, Millcreek UT 84124. About $70 a month. I contacted support for an on-site tech visit to look at the existing line. Not installed yet. Just lining up the internet for move-in week.
