Ugh. This is the quiet before the storm.
Chaz is taking a moment of solitude in an afternoon sunbeam…

We loaded and unloaded 2, 15 ft. U-Haul truckloads of “stuff”
this weekend into the new place and we are both incredibly SORE today. We are
positively out-of-shape. There is certainly a huge yard-sale on the horizon
once we are back in a real neighborhood.
Our “big move” isn’t until May 12th, but I’m in
L.A. next week, so there’s a week lost out of that time. Our goal is to only
have the movers move the big stuff and packed boxes, so we are taking care of
all the loose odds-n-ends, most of the basement, and the garage, plus all the
packing.
This is certainly better than the 4-day packing blitz we did
in Florida for sure, but it still sucks.
“I LOVE MOVING”…said no one ever!

The house we are moving too is really nice and it’s practically
brand new (3 yrs. old), but we have found upon closer inspection and from talking
with the neighbors, the owners had 3 dogs (golden retrievers) and a cat. There
is HAIR EVERYWHERE! They did not do a post, move-out clean and the floors are
disgusting, not to mention a suspicious odor is coming from one of the spare
bedrooms upstairs. So, a total house clean, with professional carpet cleaning
is being done this week. There are other things that need to be addressed as
well, but I’m too tired to go into it.
I’ve never understood why people buy homes and then not take
care of them. Why spend so much money and then watch your property values go
down the drain?
Anyway, as usual, we will leave this house in better
condition than we found it.
