Category Archives: Everyday Stuff

When we first viewed this house on August 8, 2008, we was told the property next door would be replacing the privacy fence that had rotted away.

Anyone want to take a guess what was started today, the day before we leave?

wall + head x infinity.

We spent the first part of today running from storage unit to storage unit, took more stuff to Ackbar and finally started the cleaning.

Ugh…

We have been cleaning since 2pm and it is now 9:35pm. As soon as the dryer is done I can bring both the washer and dryer downstairs for tomorrows pick up via Habitat for Humanity.

Tomorrow consist of more running to storage units as well as multiple runs to Ackbar, and the final sweeping of carpets.

And hopefully before 6pm we have finished taking everything but the cats, bedding, food, booze, smoke and some clothes to Ackbar as we spend our final night in a empty house.

Tired. Sore. Congested.

Holy crap!

We had a “panic attack” of sort’s, well maybe it was a moment of clarity? Either way, we took the wood lament flooring and padding back and got vinyl “marbled rock” tile’s.

Which is what we knew we should have got the first time, but whatever we have them now.

We also got $126 back during the return/exchange so that is uber cool!

Right now we are in that “not much can be done at this point and time, but sit and wait” phase.

If it came to it, we could have everything out and into Ackbar in 2 hours or less.

We have a few hours worth of cleaning but will wait to do that when we have everything else taken care of.

ho hum…

In just over 4days, we’ll be living in Ackbar…..wow…..our stuff is so disorganized and everywhere.  The leave date is the 20th.

We moved our “office” to downstairs on folding tables.  Hubby tore our old desks apart for trash.  What we can’t get rid of over the next 2 trash days, will be going with us to our friends for a burn pile.  They are old and particle wood….so not worth keeping.

I got our utilities ordered for disconnect online and been trying to do change of addresses.

Got our WiFi ranger and Millenicom today.  Got the WiFi antenna last month and had the rv dealer put it up on our batwing.

So much to do this weekend, need to get our stuff over to Ackbar, clean the house to be ready to turned over to the landlord….right now, things going into the Ackbar, it is a mess.  It is so disorganized.  I’ve been trying to organize it as we go, but until we are living in it….debating on going over there tomorrow or Sunday and to attack it a little bit, since hubby took a load over there today.  Depends on how much we need to do here

We will be heading to our friend’s in Everett, WA for 2-3 weeks. We are going to be parking it there while we put in our desk set up with the things we got from HomeDepot and Ikea in the long front slide out.  And getting all our stuff set up.

We are taking so much, figured what doesn’t work, because we won’t know until we are living in it, we can always donate.

From HomeDepot we got our new flooring since we had the carpet tore out of the slide out…..so that is the 1st project.

Then on to the desk…..

From Ikea we got 2 of these : http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40162496/#/60104325

And 2 of these : http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10192824/

They are going to be under 3 of these, that the slide out fits exactly with 1/8 inch of room left, if our figures are correct : http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40136558/

I’m actually writing this hoping that it’ll help me organize my thoughts….not sure it is working….lol  So I’ll think I’ll call it a night.
