Oh--and about calling the house your "principal residence?" That comes into play if you sell the house; when you sell it, you have to say if it was your own principal residence for 2 of 5 years before the sale, so that you can take the exclusion for capital gains.
You do not have to say anything now about which of your two homes is your principal residence.
