Heey, congrats on finalizing the move! May you live many (about 7-8 :D) years in the new house. I just spent the last ten minutes listening to the ambulance stuck in traffic trying to harmonize with the bells from the nearby church - silence sounds pretty damn good right now :)
That fire looks lovely too. Also, looks like you get plenty of light in the new house? Nice!
Thank you! Yep, I'd say eight years..tops unless we get less restless in our mid-fifties. : ) The noise had gotten so much worse in the condo since the pandemic. We have a rash of catalytic converter thefts in the area so there are a lot of loud cars too. Do the church bells there ring all night? The ones in Amsterdam rang really late.
The fire was a nice way to end the day. I wish it was a real fireplace but it's natural gas, the one plus is you just flip a switch to turn it on. I still may get a wood burning stove installed in the lower level.
The light in here was the very first thing that drew me to the place!
