Next, we have scheduled the delivery of a Washer/Dryer, and have made arrangements to have the Moving Van deliver our furnishings.

The blinds and shades have been ordered, but they take a couple of weeks, (they will provide paper shades in the interim).

The new Living Room furniture, and Dining room set was also ordered, and they take about 8 weeks. Showcase Direct will be providing a loaner Sofa until our set arrives, and will have it in-place the day before closing.

Now we think we need to get someone for the lawn, landscape, and pest control. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. We are northerners, and do not know much about the types of grass, bushes, trees, or the pests that thrive down here.

We are still waiting to hear from Comcast, since they need to do a "site survey" before we can even order their service.

What else am I missing?

Solar fans and getting rid of that awful pine needle stuff that is a bug heaven!
