As with many other moves ours was done in a hurry, and time was very short. You see, we had hoped to be able to move in a bit earlier, since we needed to be out of our little cottage at the end of the month. But we could not move in or get the keys until the 15th of June, which left us two weeks to make the house that had now been abandoned by the previous owners, into a livable home.
When it comes to preparing a whole house to live in, including cleaning, painting and moving in furniture, two weeks is a very short time, and in the end we were indeed short of time. That first June seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye.
