Before moving, I had a huge push to get all the painting done. To that end, I spent all of Thanksgiving and the following friday getting everything as ship-shape as possible. I already had the kitchen, dinette, and one bedroom done. I painted my bedroom another coat of light blue paint,
The office was a horrid yellow (horrid to me anyway), so It got a coat of light green paint, which offset the green curtains nicely.
The livingroom took two heavy coats of white chocolate paint to cover up the turquise (after pic will be shown shortly). I also ended up painting the hallway at the same time. It was the same yellow as the office had been, but I covered it with white chocolate and was quite pleased with the results (no pics of hall - use your imaginatioon).
Friday morning was also the day that my new washer/dryer set was being delivered. The guys called me an hour before the time frame (9-11) and asked if I was ready as they were just 2 blocks away making another delivery. I hadn't gotten down to my house yet, but assured them I could be there in 5 minutes. Tehy said not to worry, they would hang out. I got there and showed them where to place them, and gave them the pedestals I had gotten online (got a great deal!) and they commenced to working. In almost no time, they had my appliances all set up.
Saturday was moving in day and I was overwelmed by all the people showed up (WS had arranged for the manpower). Jimmy, Harry BIL and Karen came to help move the massive amount of stuff I have (25 years worth of stuff). Harry and WS did most of the heavy lifting while BIL and Karen helped me load up vehicles with boxers, and boxes, and boxes. Jimmy also helped with boxes, but he has a bad hip, so played doorman at times too. Whe all was said and done, they had my living room, bedroom and office furniture in place. That night I set up the computer and printer (don't ask why since I had no internet until Monday - LOL).
Jimmy's vehicle was perfect for transporting Birdie, and he came thru the move just fine. Acting like nothing had happened.
Sunday WS and I continued moving stuff. Actually we did pretty good - the only casualty was a vase.
I really didn't have all my stuff boxed up. Still had lots of books, plants and plant supplies, summer clothing and miscellaneous stuff left at the house. That is stuff that I can slowly get as I get my house organized and everything unpacked.
There better not be another moving day in my future - I can't imagine doing all this over again!
