Packing Up

Sorry I have not been a little more prolific keeping the blog updated. If our life was crazy before, it will be even worse for the next 4-5 months as we renovate our house. We signed the contract with DaVinci and have started on the design specifications. Last week we visited a kitchen and bath store to pick out our kitchen cabinets and talk about the design. Late last week we received the design and now we are working on the small details.

DaVinci wants to start demolition of the basement this week. That means everything has to be removed from the basement and packed up. A longbed dumpster was left in our driveway last Thursday. It is amazing how much junk we've accumulated over the last nine years since we moved in. There is a lot of broken things that I've just never gotten around to fixing. Lots of stuff I put away because, I'm going to use it again and stuff that is just obsolete. All of that is going in the dumpster.

Meanwhile, the rest of our stuff is being packed up and put in the garage. It is a good thing I worked at the Disney Store off site storage location and learned how to fill up a garage with lots of stuff. It will be a tight fit but I'll get a lot of it in there. The kids have some tough choices to make as to what to trash, store and keep accessible. But once all of this is done.... we hope it will be worth it. Well back to the packing....
