OK well it has been about a month since our household goods arrived, and we are finally just about settled in. Plus I got a part time job working in the US Embassy Post Office as the supervisor. We managed to get one of our bedrooms setup as a home office space, and that is where the Command Center is located (my desktop & 26" monitor). This room was crucial because it is also where the wireless router and central printer are located, along with the "Vonage" telephone system is setup. Just sorting everything out and selling off what we either did not need, or could no longer fit into our household was quite a task. Luckily for us the neighborhood had a huge community garage sale right after our things arrived, so we got rid of a few items and made nearly $1000 selling off stuff.

The biggest project for me was clearing out the garage and setting up a makeshift R/C shop. I have been taking some pics of the space along the way and will post them up once I get it all completed. I talked the wife into letting me pick up some kitchen cabinets and a 15' countertop so I could build a work station on one wall (about $350). The rest of the area is shelving and a full size desk, but it works for what I need. The final chapter is that we have a housekeeper in today to get the whole house deep cleaned and ready for visitors. Now that we are settled we are expecting family and friends to come over from the states for their vacations to spend some time touring about the Czech Republic while staying with us. The home office also doubles as our guest room with a queen size bed. Moving is always kind of a hassle, but it is nice to see new places and learn new things about the world around us. Packing out and moving is the easy part. Unpacking and arranging a new home is always the hard part. Hanging all of our paintings, photos, an flat pannel TV's, and building new storage cabinets always takes work trying where to place it all and installing proper anchors so nothing falls off the walls. Anyway the house will finally be done before we depart on our summer vacation on Monday. Then we get to come home to a nice clean house in late July. Very nice. I will get some pics up once the new R/C shop is all cleaned up and ready for use. Have a great summer guys.
