Since our last blog post, it’s been an exhausting whirlwind of activity. A week ago, we flew back to the Northeast to gather up all our belongings and get them to the Southwest.
Huge thanks to Dave/Marsha and Mary Ellen for pitching in and helping. They will always have an open invitation to visit us inour new city.
We drove back to our new hometown in three days. That is 2000 miles in three days. Yes, we are exhausted.
On this end, we reversed the process. We hired movers to unload the truck and put the stuff in the RV garage. The house still isn’t ready for us, but it’s getting close.
While we were unloading, the stucco crew was on site. In fact, they were able to get the final stucco coat on the front of the RV early this morning so the scaffolding could come down. That made it so much easier to back the moving truck up to the garage opening.
There are some definite changes inside the house. We have counter tops, plumbing (including working toilets!), and light fixtures.
The painters/tilers will be here on Monday to finish up their punch list. I’m hoping the stucco installers will be done in a few days. We have a broken window that needs to be replaced. But we are getting close.
The one thing that may hold us up is the connection to the natural gas at the street. The gas company has been called, but someone is dragging their feet. So for now, the RV is still home.
