Movin' out!

We are finally all moved out of the scraper, may it rest in peace. We worked all day yesterday cleaning out room after room. The movers (Oasis Movers in SF... highly recommended) came yesterday at 8:30 pronto. By 10:30, they had loaded what's left of our furniture, including the 200 lb TV, and unloaded everything (but the TV into the garage), and then transported the TV over to our friend Phil's house, where we deposited into his living room. (We had determined that the TV was never again to move back into our house.) So basically, two hours to move our stuff to two locations, not bad!

We spent the rest of the day unpacking bags/boxes from the scraper into our beautiful newly installed garage cabinets (the remnants of our old kitchen cabinets). The contractors had cleaned out the garage on Friday, swept it up very nicely, and the old white kitchen cabinets are all installed, giving us lots of nice out-of-the way storage space for supplies and other stuff. We set our microwave up on one of the shelves, and everything is ready for our arrival.

We also got internet working in our house. The DSL had been moved over a week ago, but we didn't have power to turn the router on. Now the 2nd bedroom is set up as an office, and the DSL is hooked up. We gave Kurt's folks our wireless router so they'd have wireless, and we have to go hook up new wireless today.

While Kurt was showing the house to Phil yesterday, I finished packing up every last little bit in the scraper. I'm completely and totally beat today. It was a tremendous amount of work, way more work than I thought it would be. Kurt went back to the scraper last night to move the remainder of the things to the scraper. Now we're both beat.

So, the plan is, we'll live at home for the next week (with the two rooms we're living in powered on), and then next weekend we'll move to a new temporary rental, very near where I work, for the month of June. Come July, hopefully all the really stinky stuff will be done and we can move back in for good.
