The other Big "M"

The time finally came to take two relatively well-organized households and convert them into one chaotic one. I was chosen to be the first to have my household entropy increased by a couple of orders of magnitude and on cue, several strong fellows and a very large truck showed up at my house:



Like the locusts of biblical fame, they descended upon my modest possessions:



In surprisingly quick order, my house became a sad and empty place:



While all of my possessions were moved into the previously mentioned large truck:



The truck then backed up to the new house and the contents were disgorged with equal efficiency -- the whole load, drive, and unload operation was over by 2:30 PM. These guys are fast:





With the easy part over, our house has gone from Bauhaus to Warehouse:











Of course, not every room in the house is overrun by boxes, for example the uniplex cinema is in set up and in full operation:



as is the executive gym:



and the lounge/library:



And most importantly, we are ready to throw things away -- nothing says home like a trash can and recycling bin:

Unmoved

While little bits of construction continue, we are getting ready for the big "M". The house is slowly transforming itself into a home in the meantime.

The furniture is starting to arrive:




Including the office furniture:



The bed is now actually usable for sleeping:



And for watching the newly installed 50'' plasma panel:



If laying in bed and watching TV is not your thing, each of the other bedrooms have their own flat panel LCD TVs:



as does the office:



And for the near-cinema effect, there is the 73'' main TV in the family/media room:



This last one is still in the process of getting set up:





To make sure that only authorized individuals get to access all of this entertainment, the garage door opener is equipped with a biometric (fingerprint) scanner:



Which also guards the stuff already stored in the garage:




The flip side of all of this is that my current humble abode has now been transformed into a warehouse and I am essentially camping in my own house:



And Jenn has done a remarkably thorough job packing the house up:



I am pretty excited about getting ready to move to the new house, but the security system seems a bit skeptical:


I wonder what it knows that I don't ...
