[quote=Anonymous]We built our new home and we still personalized the house just before and just after we moved in. We closed on our new house about 5 weeks before we moved. In that time we painted many rooms (so much easier before furniture arrived), I installed some built-in furniture in our office to give us both a comfortable work space (we both work from home occasionally) then added the networking cables to allow me to have the router upstairs in the office instead of down at the access port in the basement. Our WiFi signal is stronger throughout the house with the router upstairs rather than downstairs. We took measurements and ordered some custom window treatments for some of the public spaces. I bought large storage racks and assembled them in the basement so that when we moved in, we had places to put a lot of things that were going into longer-term storage (e.g. staying packed in boxes) without completely clogging up the floor. Having better access to many boxes and a place to put the boxes that we were not unpacking helped making the place feel like home much faster. [/quote]
