At the time of writing this post, we have less than a week before the movers come and start to pack us up. There's still a fair amount to do, mostly in getting things ready to pack in the garage and shed, but we have made tons of progress. Amazing what you can get done when you're both not going into work! The house in Hercules needs a couple of last minute things wrapped up, and then to be cleaned, photographed and staged and then it can go on the market. And hopefully sell!! The house in Fair Oaks is getting emptier and emptier. Let me just say how much I love Freecycle! I have gotten rid of more pieces of furniture than you can imagine through Freecycle. I did look on Freecycle and found that there is not a group for Orange County! How will I get rid of things when we move there? Additionally, we have contributed four or five Kia and truckload of household goods to the Snowline Hospice. I hope that they can really get some value from them. The exterior of the Fair Oaks house looks good - new fence, painted fence, landscaping, some painting (although still a little more to do).
So it's the home stretch - I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and now we're beginning to think about things like, how will the cats adjust to their new home? They won't have this big yard, and there will be a lot more people round them. Should be interesting. Perhaps my new blog will be a Catwatch blog.
Look for a chapter of "ReUseIt" as they've taken the place of Freecycles in some metros - STL among them. We have "ReUseItSTL" instead of Freecycle. I also started a local group on Facebook that does the same thing, only just within the school district boundaries here. It is working really well! Good luck with the move.
