Got the keys to the new place this afternoon. Had a good look round before it got dark and two things struck me - it looks massive with no furniture in and there's an awful lot that needs doing. There are dozens of light switches - fortunately most of them do something - and lots of pipes - that might not do anything at all. Lots of opportunities for the kids to do themselves some damage like missing railings on the stairs and small changes in level in most of the rooms that'll take a while to get used to. There's also a fair bit of junk that the previous owners have left for us to clear out too. First jobs are to change the locks, give everything a good clean, insulate the attic and paint the boys' bedroom.
