Moving Day!

14 December 2013

Wow!  We are actually moving.  The day is overcast with rain/sleet/snow in the forecast, but who cared?  We are only moving about 200 yards :o).

We were all packing up in the rental house, and Steve suggested I run over and take one last round of pictures before we mess it all up with furniture.  So Alex and I drove over with some miscellaneous things.  Alex got out of the car and said "It's funny that the first thing we are moving into the house is a lamp."  So I said "Let me get your picture!"

We hired a 3-man crew and 26-foot truck, to do all the furniture pieces.  It took them about 6 hours to move all the furniture.  There are a few heavy things left in the house, but we think we can handle them in the 4Runner.

Katherine came to help us in the afternoon.  Lauren and she concentrated on the Kitchen, figuring out where to put everything.  There are LOTS of cabinets.  And yes, I know.  I cannot reach the upper half of all the wall cabinets.  That's what step stools are for.

We were pretty tired by the end of the Saturday, but it was also a great feeling of accomplishment.

We slept in the house Saturday night.  Of course, we are illegal squatters technically.  We still need our final Site Inspection, but the Residential Use Permit will be issued.  Hopefully Monday.
