No picture this morning, just a short update. Jeff and I packed like madmen for three days, and our hard work paid off. The movers - in just under three hours - were able to put every box and almost all the furniture in the Pod. We didn't think it would all fit, but it did. There are just a few things (a couple of dining room chairs, one bookcase) in the garage. We also had them put the fridge and stove in the garage. The Pod gets picked up today between 9 & Noon, and we won't see our stuff again for 3-4 months.
Everything is at the rental now except for a few clothes. Our real home is 98% empty. I can't believe we did it, but I am so glad it's over. It was a tiring and unsettling four days. The fact that we had the strongest offshore winds I can recall having in quite some time added to the fun. Today, I feel like I need to apply Chapstick to my entire body. I woke up again this morning to 65 degree weather and howling offshores...
I'll upload a couple of pictures of the rental house later this week when I get a chance. The next order of business is to get the rental organized so life can kind of get back to normal.
The latest word from the contractor is that even though we are adding less than 10%, which means we don't need a minor use permit, the county is balking. Our architect was supposed to go talk to them yesterday, so we should have an update in a few days.
Thanks for stopping by :) David
