Great suggestions folks!
Our situation is not the usual. We are not actually moving ourselves yet. Just our "stuff".
We have one week to get the few items of furniture we are moving unpacked and to get the feel for our home. Then we have to go back to the rat race.
We will be receiving the delivery of our refrigerator, washer, dryer. We will be buying and installing all our fans and the foyer and DR lights.
Just about the time we get stuff unpacked we have to come back to the real world and camp out in our home in Utah. We will have sold, given away or moved almost everything by then.
Bill will be getting the house ready to rent. So he is keeping a weeks worth of business clothes and casual, grubby clothes here. Bill retires April 1st and I probably am indentured until Sept. We we hoping to have the house ready to rent by the time he retires April 1st and he can move to TV.
We will be buying most of our furniture after we move , so we will be in limbo where ever we are for a few months. No easy way out.
Because I commute to the Bay Area to work that just makes it more interesting.....
So we don't really know when WE will be moving.
I have ordered a patio dining set and we will use that for table and chairs while we camp out. So I guess we will pack some sheets and towels, stop at Walmart for the necessities.
I wish we were making one simple clean move. That would be so easy. We just always keep things interesting.
Some great folks on the forum have been keeping us up to date with weekly photos and we are just thrilled with the house! We are ready emotionally for the move!! It is the the rat race real world that is making it difficult.
So we will camp out in the house and get done what we can and enjoy sitting in our patio furniture with a Styrofoam cooler while we await our stuff.
It sounds like we aren't the first and won't be the last to do that!! The adventure is just beginning!
