I have a couch. The shape and size are perfect, but I'm not sure I'm crazy about the color. It's also really firm. Still, it's suitable for sitting on, lying down on, making out on, and inviting friends onto.
I also have a bed. It's sturdy. Its surface is just under two feet off the floor. It has places to tie... things to the frame. I am most pleased. Assembly was non-trivial because part of the frame was a bit bent, but strategic ordering of fastener attachment and elbow grease won the day. I put the rest of the furniture in place and I put the art, etc. on the walls, including the last of the devil girls. The furniture is a bit of a mishmash visually, but I have enough places to put things, which is huge. Replacing my bedroom furniture is... not a priority.
Both of these pieces of furniture had assembly instructions that said, in pictographic IKEA fashion, that assembly was a two-person job. Pshaw. I did them both myself. I am The Assembler.
I painted the gas outlet on the balcony as directed by the inspector*. I have shower squeegees, a gas shutoff wrench, a tarp for FM Bike, and padlocks on the (outdoor!) main circuit breakers. My trash got picked up this morning, much to my relief; I had a whole lot of plastic wrap in it from all the furniture. Needless to say, the recycle bin is packed with cardboard and won't be picked up until next week.
I got rid of the last of my U-Haul moving boxes using the Buy Nothing online group for my neighborhood. I regret that I took the earlier, larger set of them to be recycled.
So what's remaining for the Devil Girl house?
*Comfy Lady and one of my co-workers are very enthusiastic about gas grilling. I'm not, at least not yet. Again, not a priority at the moment.

- Big sheets of foam board, to which I will attach my collection Burning Man maps and which I will use as video backgrounds and maybe a scrreen for the tall object nook at the top of the first flight of stairs. There's a big art supply store about a 20-minute bus ride away.
- Figure out what to do with the 60cm diameter glass table top. Put it on something for a balcony table? That means I need a balcony chair, about which I'm unenthusiastic. Probably time again for Buy Nothing.
- I have no full-length mirror. I do have a perfect place to put one.
- Take another box of donations to Goodwill.
- Oh yeah, help my son put together his furniture, some of which has yet to arrive.
