More moving...more packing

We've been very busy doing the same things - the house is really looking different now.  Rooms are being emptied, the garage is full.

I rented yet another storage unit nearby - we will use this one for most of the furniture we moved from the upstairs.  Bryan is coming over today to help start that process.  We had planned on emptying out the truck this morning with a trip to the other tool storage unit - and then torrential downpours happened.  The sun is trying to come out now, or at least it isn't pouring, so Jim's going to make a trip before Bryan comes.

We've also been making all the calls that come along with this out-of-state move.  Newspapers stopped, services turned off in our names, and then setting up everything for closing on Friday.  Amazing the things that we have to pay for - title taxes?  Whoever heard of those?  But you certainly get nickel and dimed.

Jim's still working incredibly hard every day getting all the loose ends done here.  Today we had a mini celebration because he hopefully got the last piece of molding made!  Doors are all done and in the last stages of poly - the basement bathroom door is all hung.  So the giant to do list keeps getting smaller too.

Bryan came over late afternoon and helped Jim load up the truck and then unload it into the new storage unit I got on Monday.  He's coming over again this afternoon to repeat the process!  Then we'll have most of the furniture in there and can start loading the truck in anticipation of our trip to NY on Friday.

More stuff to put in more storage units!

Happy 80th Birthday, Mom!
We love you!!
