Moving Day

I had gotten a notice that our household goods were in the country and they would be delivered on the 8th.... then they called Butch asking if they could deliver ONE box on the 5th - he agreed... then they showed up with all EIGHT of them.  Our whole house - two days earlier than planned!  yay!

I dashed home to help at the last minute!
 What a mess, eh?  They cleaned it all up and were on their way in a day ... 8 huge crates of stuff brought into the house on all four levels


They were HARD workers and didn't complain about having four stories of house to work in.  I guess they are used to it.  I had brought home some water only to find out it was berry flavored water - whoops!  Oh, well.  

Here they are taking a LARGE piece up the stairs!!

They made it up without killing themselves or the walls!  quite impressive!!

Check back tomorrow I will update with more pictures!!

Moving continued

WHAT a mess!!  The house is chuck full of STUFF and boxes and more boxes!! 
 You'll note there is a stack of folded boxes to the rear of those boxes, so we ARE making progress.... slowly, but progress at this point... Let me tell you it was a LOT of boxes!!!

 Boxes, bins and containers looking for a home... trying to figure out what fits where and what we will really use... that is a biggie... what will we REALLY use?  who the heck knows!  I know in my heart of hearts it's time to cull yet again and get rid of the extras but the hoarder in me keeps thinking "but what if I NEED it"... hum... I haven't needed a lot in the last few years...
All those boxes are kitchen things... wayyyy too many kitchen things!!


 Living room is coming together... fewer boxes for sure!!  Rug isn't down yet, however... that comes later, apparently.

The loaner bed stuffed in the corner awaiting pickup amid the boxes of stuff....
The living room furniture is in the garage at this point just to save space in the house.

Master bedroom awaiting the final decision on how we will put it all back together... - aka what will fit where....
The guest room - again, with the bed in one position until we decide just where it is going.  Hint we have figure that out, we simply haven't put the rest of that room together yet... so it is just waiting.  There is a wardrobe up there and all the blankets are there just waiting for visitors to come and visit.  May need a dresser as well!

Boxes in my craft room on the 3rd floor waiting for me to unpack them and get settled.  The ones labeled "Blinders" are really vinyl.  Too funny!

This is what they jokingly called moving Bingo.  We were crossing the boxes as they were coming in.  I don't know if anything was really left behind, but nothing seems to be missing... well with the exception of my cords for my cutting machine.  Grrrr.  Oh, well, they are just cables and we have some substitutes for it, so all is well with the world on that one.


So, is the house put together and photo worthy now?  Uhm... heck no!!
