Casa New Jersey

Before going to work, we stopped by Casa New Jersey so I could take pictures of the “empty” house (it wasn't completely empty—the previous owners left a few “things” behind, where “things” can be read as “stuff we now classify as garbage”).

Most of the junk left behind was upstairs in the Kids' Room, although The Kids were more than happy to keep it.

Too bad. It's junk. And what wasn't junk (like the large pieces of plywood used to cover the windows during a hurricane) is too useful to let them have at it.

One of the more dangerous items found was a rusty machete in a stand of bamboo at the far corner of the lot, which I jokingly called our own little slice of Southeast Asia.

And in the Master Bedroom, the previous owners were kind enough to leave a painting for us.

How nice.

The next few days will be spent cleaning up the remaining “stuff” and the actual move will happen next week.
