That's a SLOW way to get back alot of stuff, however I'll admit that
it beats Reverting to playing using an Old Saved game. A faster
method for you to have used, might have been for you to note what was
missing and then open the console and type COC TODDTEST that would
take your character to a place where he/she could hopefully find
replacements for most of your characters missing unmod related
unenchanted items. Then you could use the console to replace any
items your character is still missing...

Write down your character's current strength, then Open the console
and type something like PLAYER->SETSTRENGTH 500 to set your
character's strength to 500 or higher if you like. Then when you've
finished your move, use the console and setstrength to restore your
character's strength to normal...

I also refuse to consider a house mod for normal/practical use if it
doesn't include some means of teleporting to the home. Granted I do
sometimes Install some non-teleport house mods IF I like the way they
look even though I have no intention of actually using them.
I use mark and recall spells in a house mod so that my character
doesn't have to walk to a distant part of the home from the home's
teleport entry point when my character is moving in with LOTS of
stuff! After my characters are moved in, they generally enter the
house using the home's normal teleportion device.

You could always set a mark spell in your house where you want to
place Stenndar's hammer, then go to the Mournhold museum, grab the
hammer and use a recall spell to take you and the hammer back to your
home.
That's my 2¢,
