When I was in highschool one of my friends lived with his large family in a house they had built themselves. The top floor was fully finished, but the middle floor and basement had never been finished, and when I knew him it had been a decade since they had moved in. His mother gave me the excellent advice of "never move into a house till it is finished--you think you will be able to keep working on it when you live there, but you won't". somehow, seeing these photos reminded me of his house...

We are definitely trying to get as much done before we move in, so that we don't end up having to worry about where to move furniture/how to deal w/o a shower/life without a refridgerator. However, we aren't going to worry about finishing the attic immediately, since we won't need it for a few years, but at one point it will be imperative, to give Gwen a decent-sized bedroom and eventually have a guest room. But hopefully for that we'll decide one year "this is the summer to do it" and then get my mom over for a month or two, and do it.
