El, good update. Just keep a finger on the pulse of your attachment/detachment. If having him help starts to reattach you then just politely decline his help, and find other help.
As far as feeling sad about the house, my W cries every time she moves. We've only moved twice in our marriage, but she told me she would cry even before that. She was sad when we moved into our current house, but now says she doesn't miss the old house even a little bit. I think it just the thought of "home" moving. She get homesick very easily so I think that plays into it.
Hope the work stuff works out, but as I stated before, right now it is an employee job market! Plenty of opportunity out there.
