I've brought 16 boxes of books upstairs (about half) and I'm putting them on the bookshelves. The guys tell me that they may finish by the end of day tomorrow. Then I'll wash/polish the floor before I move the furniture back. It's not as warm as yesterday, but I'm still able to open the windows for a while. The trim paint is oil-based, and smells kind of strong.

The snow is slowly disappearing. Some of the heather/winter heath plants have emerged from under the snowpack. If it stays nice for a while, they may begin to bloom.
