Moving Week!

It's finally moving week - time to move Ryan's stuff into his new house. Our plan is to head over there this morning, rent a carpet cleaner, and clean all the carpeting upstairs (the previous owners had two dogs and two cats). We'll see how long that takes, and then begin cleaning the floors downstairs along with everything else that needs it.


After those things are accomplished, we'll start bringing over the boxes from the storage unit. It's only five minutes away from the house, but there are 28 boxes and some other assorted bits, so it may take us a while. We'll unpack what we can (maybe the kitchen?) and possibly bring over some of the smaller furniture (end tables, lamps, etc.). 


We might paint the red wall in the living room, but we'll see. Next weekend (the 21st and 22nd) we've got family members with two trucks and lots of muscle to help move the furniture. Ryan may be sleeping there by the 23rd!

I will be busy cleaning, moving, and unpacking, so I won't be posting here for the rest of this week. I may post a few photos on instagram (I'm @readknit if you want to take a look) and I hope to be back here on the 23rd. I hope you all have a great week ahead!

  7. Keep your eye on the prize, Bonny, and take care of your back! Be thoughtful when you lift those boxes, just a friendly reminder. I hope you have an efficient moving experience, and I hope you are all able to maintain the excitement of having this almost completed. I look forward to hearing all about it next week.

  10. What a lovely home! How exciting and do enjoy “moving in,” even tho’ some of the “moves” may be a bit back breaking. A “toast” seems to be a “highly reasonable” way to end and celebrate each day’s “move in.”
    Cheers~
