Moving – Very Slowly
Posted on August 18, 2012 by Ching under Life.
Brian and I are slowly moving to the new place. And when I say slow, I mean really slow. So far we’ve only moved our winter coats and a few other things.
My winter coats moved last weekend. We took Brian’s over there today. Except for one of his jackets that just happened to be mixed in with my stuff.
And yes, I got the short straw on the coat storage selection. Brian got to pick which bedroom he wanted to put his coats in, and he picked the one with the walk-in closet. So even though I have more coats than he does, he gets the bigger closet. Oh, well. Maybe I can kick him out of the master bedroom closet. LOL. Probably not going to happen though, because Brian has a lot of clothes too. He has is own walk-in closet here at the townhouse now, and he fills every inch of it.
Our bikes were among the first things to get moved to the new place also.
After pressure washing the patio and the deck, we were able to move in our old patio furniture. We weren’t using it much here it at the townhouse anyway.
The furniture is old and will probably need to get replaced in the next year or two. Our friends the Dills and the Phelpi got some really good deals from Dillon’s during their 75% summer furniture clearance so we are hoping to do the same next year.
I’m looking forward to drinking some wine on the back deck this fall and winter. We are going to put the fireplace to good use.
The only other thing we’ve moved in so far is our microwave, which we got from Lowe’s using a gift card that mom gave us. (Thank you, mom!)
It was so hard to find just the right size for the wall shelf. This one sticks out a bit in depth, but I opted for this one as opposed to a smaller microwave because I didn’t want to see space at the top and sides of the microwave. The cut out that they made in the shelf for the power plug wasn’t big enough so Brian actually had to make the hole bigger. Thanks to our friend Feifel for coming to the rescue.
There’s still plenty to do. We cleaned the windows today and got window treatments for the glass doors to the back deck. Walls still need to be painted. The rest of our appliances still need to be delivered. We are gradually getting moved in to the new place, but I kind of wish that we would have just planned and executed our move all at once. I like that we’re not feeling rushed and can move at our own leisurely pace, but I’m so ready to be done moving already.
