On Our Way!

We have finally left the glacial-paced phase of planning, designing, and appeasing various agencies and have entered the phase I like to call, "Dust & Money", where dust is accumulated and money disappears with alarming speed.
This weekend, with the help of our friend, Justin, we moved all the large furniture into storage, tore down the old cattery and moved more plants. Tom also started pulling off the interior trim downstairs so the lathe & plaster can be removed. We had our "kickoff" meeting with our Contractor, Chris, last Friday and he is scheduled to start the first week of June.
I've just about got all the packing done, except for the last of the dishes and some clothes. This week, I'll be moving us into the RV. It's funny, in my mind I see all this storage space, but when I am actually in the RV, that space doesn't exist. Delusional or wishful thinking?

Can You Dig It?

The second thing men really, really, love to do is operate machinery~ especially if it can dig big holes, crush things and have the potential for destruction and mayhem. So, last week I rented a mini-excavator for Tom so he could move all the plants from the front and east side of the house as well as smooth out dirt piles out back. He also dug a trench across the back yard with two goals in mind: One, to find an old sewer line (no luck) and Two, avoid digging up a pet we buried 15 years ago while searching for an old sewer line (thank goodness, luck).
