I got the keys

Today I got the keys to my house. Although the whole process with the notary is not done, I convinced the broker to do the handover now, as my brother and I will drive to the DoKomi Convention tomorrow and afterwards the Broker is not available.
Since I packed a whole load of my belongings over the past couple of weeks, we also managed to transport a bunch of things over today. It’s only a few minutes drive from my Apartment, so moving stuff isn’t that much of a hassle, besides the two flights we have to decent (without elevator) in the Apartment House.
I was overwhelmed before, but seeing what needs to be done in the house before I can move in (painting walls, laying some new floors, networking, power, …) I feel like I’m even more overwhelmed.
Well, at least I’ve got a few days of “vacation” before the working stars. I’ve got the rest of next week also PTO and hope to get at least some major things done. We’ll see.

Congrats! Take it day by day, task by task, and enjoy seeing the new place unfold to how you want it to be!
Thanks guys!

Congrats! I’m sure the amount of work feels overwhelming, but it’s a great project and you’ll get the house exactly the way you like.
