Getting ready for another trip!

Time is ticking and there's so much to be done!  But we're plugging away every day on the giant "to do" list.

Jim has been doing lots of work in the basement - finishing up the shower stall and installing the drop ceiling, besides sorting and packing in every spare moment.  We just about have the crawl space emptied out.  Mike came over today and helped Jim move the bookshelf and an old dresser up from the basement, so that was nice to have some extra muscles (read I didn't have to do it). 

Then they did some moving in the pole barn - took down the big exhaust fan and loaded up the radial arm saw table on the Bobcat.  Jim won't need that for awhile, so it will take up residence in the neighbor's barn until the carriage house is built and things can be moved in.  Thanks to the neighbors for letting us do this!

Down the road it goes!

Meanwhile, we are packing up the truck again at every opportunity.  We brought a lot of boxes and tubs down from the attic and up from the basement and Jim has more pole barn tools loaded on.


 

 

Jim is thinking about going back to NY at the end of next week - he wants to meet the well guy at the property and get him started.  Then he'll unload this truckful and come back home. 

 

One of the big things that Jim has been orchestrating is getting bids on transporting the Bobcat and Excavator up to NY.  As you can imagine, no small feat.  I wouldn't know how you would even begin that process, but Jim did it before when he bought the Bobcat in Oklahoma so he's familiar with it.  That will require another trip back to NY because he wants to be there when they deliver the equipment. 

 

I've still been busy packing too - today I worked for awhile in the kitchen again packing up more dishes.  I actually have some totally empty cabinets now!
