My livingroom is yellow as well tbh.

It was white/cream... but 13 years of 40 a day with do that though
Somewhat ironic that their purple patch ended just as they were starting on the office
I like most of the colors (except the office I'm in now, which is two different shades of purple), but the missus gets a pretty huge vote share on that. But the living room is a happy shade of yellow, dining room is a muted green, and the library/whatever it ends up being is kind of brownish gold. Whoever chose the colors did a pretty good job. Again, purple excepted.

I always hate when paint goes sour. Just ruins the flavor, IMO.

Right now the place is still scattered enough that the ones on Zillow are about as good as any we might take, at least for another few days/week or two. If you can swing by at some point feel free though.

I'm honestly not sure how long it'll be until we really get everything sorted. Knowing us, probably just a couple of weeks before things are in pretty decent shape. But we're planning on just sort of living in it as-is over most of the winter, figuring out what we want/need from that, and then with that knowledge making decisions on paint colors and new furniture and stuff in the spring and summer, probably.

Well, called him in because we couldn't even get the wifi going. Turns out the only coaxial port in the house proper wasn't even hooked up to anything.

But yeah, he drilled some external holes and we upgraded our router and everything's great now. Wired ethernet for both our computers, too. No substitute for that. Very happy to have that done.

Sadly, that was technically my 101st shout. My 100th shout was the shout below that shout.

Anyway, Verizon guy coming in a few hours. At minimum we should have Wifi, though I think he'll need to drill some holes and run some cable if we want wired Internet upstairs (which I very much do). Particularly since I think, otherwise, I'd have to run out and get a Wifi card.
Definitely get him to do that. That's partly why he comes to the house in the first place! I mean, if all you were doing was Wi-Fi everything, you could almost just take the modem/router, plug it in, and have them flip a switch back at the office.

Which is usually what Comcast does for us.
