Everything is moving forward on the new house. I started buying (only started because buying a house is a month long process) an old cottage in Beaverton, complete with a great yard, and an extra room I can use for a bigger studio. I've really outgrown my existing space, so i bit the bullet and started arranging a move.
It's not an easy thing to do, there are a blizzard of details. Thankfully, I have a very good broker managing the whole process. Overwhelming as it is, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and closing is next week, when I can finally start moving stuff from one house to the next. I don't have much renovation planned, the new studio is pretty much ready to go, and I'll post photos as soon as I get up and running.
