Today was spent in systematically removing approximately $100,000 of saleable perceived value from the new house.
As the first order of business after taking possession, we're removing the partition wall that divides one bedroom from another, and turning them into a combined second master suite. The new partition wall will be moved down a few feet and be composed of columns and an arched doorway, and curtains. That way there will be a bedroom area that's divided from a semi-public drawing room area; that's the part that's going to get all the aesthetic Christopher Lowell-esque interior decoration treatment.
I bought a couch for it today; in Levitz, I saw it over against the wall; I sat down in it, then I was seized with the urge to never get up again. As I sat there, dumbfounded, an elderly couple walked past: "Isn't that sofa just the most amazing thing?" And we all sat around marveling. I don't know why it's taken them this long to invent the perfect sofa, but I think they must have sold like six of them today at just that one store.
When Lance came in from the car, I said: "Hey-- you know what I love?"
"What?"
"This couch."
Anyway, removing that partition wall involved axes and crowbars and kung-fu. Easily the most fun I've had causing havoc and destruction in a long time.
  
That drywall didn't stand a chance.
