Lots of changes…<\/p>\n
We sold our house sold in about 30 days. Got a good offer, with a fairly quick closing date of mid-May. Nice couple with a teenage daughter that is excited about her ‘bedroom suite’ (the builder made one room out of two small bedrooms, so there is sort of a sitting area separate from the bed area). They are moving out from Florida.<\/p>\n
The result is that there has been another flurry of packing. We packed up a lot of the house while de-cluttering to make the house ready for sellers to wander around. That meant that we had to keep the house really clean (nothing on the counters). That is a lot easier when it’s just the two of us.<\/p>\n
Now that we have a sale, we’ve done some more packing. I worked on the garage last weekend; about 20 boxes worth. Had some help doing the bonus room which had a lot of books and DVDs in the bookcase area.<\/p>\n
And we’re spending a lot of time with virtual searches of houses in the new area of Utah. Pam has been doing a lot of on-line searches, and last weekend we started funneling those possibilities through the Realtor in Utah. We made up a list of requirement to help out, and this weekend (and this week) we are fine-tuning the list a bit.<\/p>\n
The next step is a trip to Utah to wander through the houses on our list. That will keep us busy for two days before we have to get back home for more packing.<\/p>\n
The last day of physical presence at work will be the end of May, then I will use up vacation and sick time through June. The closing date on the house is mid-May, so it’s unsure where we’ll be living during the transition between old house and new house while I still have to be in town to work.<\/p>\n
Perhaps there will be some room in Sacramento’s Tent City. I’ll have to ask Oprah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
