Packing!

Today we got the asbestos report back, and no asbestos was found! So, we should be able to get our J number from the Environmental Safety group early next week. With the gas turned off on Monday and signatures on Tuesday, we should be able to start construction on Wednesday or Thursday. It's so exciting!

My friends Phil and Helen came over this evening after work to help pack. Kurt brought home a big pile o' pizza, and we chowed down before packing up the house. The main objective tonight was to get any furniture cleared out that is to be moved to the rental place. Helen and Phil packed lots of boxes full of stuff that was sitting in bookshelves and other places that had to be cleared out. In fact, we ran out of boxes. Since much of the stuff in boxes is staying, we'll reuse any boxes that transport stuff to the rental to pack up the remaining things. But we are getting close to being done.

As I sit here writing this, I've done my bit... Kurt is still working on his desk, however. His job was the office, and a big job that is!

Once all the furniture goes to the rental house, we will finish packing the house. We are also going to start dismantling anything we want to save to sell or donate. I'm going to see whether habitat for humanity wants some of our cabinets and windows (we had just replaced two last year.. it seems a shame to throw them out!).

Movers come tomorrow at 8:30 so I guess I better go to bed!
