The Countdown begins!

 

So yesterday I took apart the last lego set that needed to get packed, yes I have lego of my own, some people like crossword puzzles, some jig saw puzzles some ...oh heck I love them all! 3187 pieces packed and ready to go! I plan to have a lego wall in my tiny house, priorities you know! ( photo shows a 1/3 of the set maybe....

So I made myself a list of things I need to do starting Tuesday this week. I get two days to relax before the crazy starts. Course today will be shoving since last night I got 5" of new snow. ( side note, its weird to say I instead of We...)

Tuesday - Gym day which I am finally feeling good about going back, then I'll stop in at UHAUL to get the run down on procedure of pick up on Sunday , Go to agway to grab a couple bales of shavings and hay for the goats and chickens, see if they have water storage tanks since I might like a couple more. Got to pick up new windshield wipers for my little car since one is falling apart, and stop at the post office to see if they found a missing package.   

Wednesday will be a day of cleaning up the rooms that are already empty. 

Thursday I'll clean the fridge, stove and bathrooms bring Izzy her birthday present and my new mattress to the camper ( its rolled up memory foam.). 

Friday will be a roller coaster day - closing on this house at 9:00 In Jeffersonville, then I'll come back home and stuff all I can in my car from the garage, then closing for the land at 2:00 in Morrisville, after which I'll bring the first load of stuff to the land and hang up some Christmas lights outside .  If I have time before dark I'm going to move some firewood that is in the way for the camper and bring it inside for when I start using the wood stove.

Saturday - I'm going to bring all the stuff thats in the garage, might be three carloads and in between, I'll set up the space for the chickens ( hang their nesting boxes, roosts then bring them over they will be the first ones to spend a night there!) I might clean the chimney that day although there is no rush as the little space is nice and cozy with just the space heater running.

Sunday will be pack up the house day with the help of my daughter and son in law, I believe everything will fit in the truck then I'll put the dogs and cats ( In crates) in my car and leave my house here in Eden for the last time. I totally expect there to be tears heck I cried when we moved from all our houses so its normal for me! But yes this time will be different, although I'm happy with the fact I know Anders spirit isn't in this house , he floats free somewhere out there on the great lakes this I know.  So I'll spend my first night in the cabin Sunday night. The hardest part will be the dogs, since Montgomery has no loyalty to me and has no recall, yes my fault maybe we will work on that.  I'll be getting lots of outside time I expect ..:) 

Monday I have two wonderful friends coming over to help unpack the Uhaul and then I shall take them out to lunch <3 meanwhile the kitties are enjoying all the piles of stuff to be kittys and sleep on...:)

The camper, I told Ryan that I don't want it until I get the UHAUL moved and then I need him to coordinate with my son in law to be there to help level it. Once there I'll use the tips I got from my friends on getting the propane flowing and use the propane furnace to warm up the camper and the electric space heaters, I'm not sure if I'm going to skirt the camper after all as I'm sick of spending money on it! I've got lots of insulation on the floor now and if its really cold out I'll just go sleep on the couch in the cabin with the wood stove. :) All is good! 

So a busy week ahead but for now its time to watch Star Wars New Hope and then I'll go shovel the snow that is still coming down, go feed my goats and chickens, ( side note: can't wait until my chickens coop is actually attached to my living space, well except for coffee my rooster.....lol I'll be able to visit them all the time!  

Thanks for reading, thanks for caring :) 

Serenity Now

      Whew, its been a crazy week, phone calls, real estate addendums, people wanting this, wanting that, pay this pay that.  

     Today I went to the town office to get a copy of Anders Death Certificate , yes, I cried but its okay just seeing it in print it kinda cuts like a knife is all, I needed it for the lawyer evidently the buyers bank wanted it since of course the house was in both our names .  So after I got it and dropped it off at the lawyers, I went to the local propane company to see if I could schedule them to install a 100 lb tank on my camper once I move it....Nope sorry we don't do that.....ahhh yes, so I went to tractor supply and got another space heater and another small 20lb tank, alls it will run now is the propane stove and I'll probably run the furnace to keep the camper up to temperature than shut it off. 

     The electrician came to the cabin yesterday and checked the electric and said all looks good and I won't have to worry about blowing fuses, He installed a new 30amp outlet for me to plug the camper into so I can run all the space heaters I need when its really cold. I was please to find an outlet in the area I'm going to put the chickens so I will have a place to plug in their heated water dish, and a light in there too!  The cabin was cozy warm with just the small electric space heater so thinking its insulated better than we thought, not that I want to live in there permanently but will be spending a few nights on the couch in there as I decided its going to be easier to move in with out the camper in the way of the moving van.  I sent the electrician a copy of my little house to give me an estimate.

     Today I started calling to get services switched over and then my daughter mentioned she didn't think there was a mailbox on the property so I checked an no there isn't, so I went to go get a post office box , course when they assigned my number she mentioned that it was a least a foot of the floor in the post office since the post office has flooded twice just this year once 7 feet I told her that if I knew it was going to rain heavy I'd be sure to come get my mail LOL also eventually I'll put up a mailbox at the house but will wait until the site work is done maybe even the house. I got the electric service scheduled to be switched and when I went to switch the internet...they told me I probably wouldn't be happy with it where I'm going because for some reason in that town its 2/3 slower than here...so I checked another provider, nope can't get it, then another one, nope, so had to go with Starlink...which is why I went to get my post office box since I need a place to mail it too since who knows when it will get mailed...

     I went to the camper and installed the new propane tank and low and behold I went to light the stove and no gas was coming in...ugh ...so went to my facebook winter camping group and they gave me some tips on how to fix that problem so I'll try Monday since I just want to stay home tomorrow...LOL  

     I came home , unloaded the car, fed ex came with the new mattress for the camper then I decided to take a hot shower and get comfy which I did, sweat pants, Anders viking kitty t shirt and his flannel shirt.  now I'm watching starwars in time line order...:) best movies ever...

    Monday I start switching all my addresses on everything I can remember.....Oh I got all the times for the closing, so before I go to the last one for my land I'll load up the car with as much stuff as I can fit with stuff from the garage as that needs to go in first. then I'll go look at that view again, oh how Anders would love this view....
