Thanks all. Hard to sleep tonight. I will try to remember to post to my instagram with my phone while in internet time out. I think they are installing it on the 28th.

Went to the lawyers and got all the papers signed for the sale of our place and the purchase of the new place. Whew. This is getting real now!

And just like that, we’re on the final day.

Tomorrow is move day. That means sometime in the afternoon the modem goes back to the ISP and there will be no internet for a week, except the limited access I have on my phone. I am going to try to post a few pics on my instagram page, but that’s probably all for the most part.

Yes. Sometimes it takes hours of laying in bed for the brain to shut off and get to sleep. To be clear though, we are not going to do much for a while. We want to get the shower installed and bathroom/laundry functional and then just live with the place for…[Read more]

All I want is 2 good days of moving weather at the end of the week….3 more sleeps in this home.

Boschmanbrian wrote:When will you be driving down to unload that.

The movers arrive on the 22nd. Right after they load up and leave we are pulling out and getting as many miles on as we can. Hoping to make Sudbury as that’s about 1/2 way (6 hours or so). We will get a room, a bit of shut eye, a shower and fuel up and hit the road again. The…[Read more]

Wow! That’s service! I would have thought they would have just done a spot repair, but I guess with polyurethane finishes blending is not so easy.

GTokley wrote:So that was a easy fix.

That’s some good news. Other than they forgot it at the factory that is. Hope that is the end of the problems for a long long time.

Got most of the shop loaded up. At least what the trailer would take. Some yard stuff and house stuff on there too. Just the bigger things now but we planned all along for the movers to do that to save our backs. I think I have it strapped down good enough.

Pretty sizable snow storm coming into Wawa on Saturday where we’re moving next week. Nothing I can do about it but complain and worry….lol.

Rainy here and more in the forecast for the next week. A couple of clear days only so we are going to use one of them to pack up the shop onto the trailer. Perhaps a few more items will go on it too.

Nice progress Kevin. Quite the story, thanks for keeping us up to date. It’s great to be passing on some knowledge and skills, particularly to someone with enthusiasim for the work. At this rate you’re sure to get enough done by snow fall.

That little puppy…[Read more]

I got the Pro Comp Extreme T/A tires put on the truck for winter. They are noisier with the big knobs on them. Hopefully good in the snow. Had to get 1 valve replaced. Had my mechanic give a quick look over of the truck. He’s a Ford guy and says it’s in good shape. I’m going to miss that guy.

The last tour of this shop…and it’s a mess…lol.
Just an update video.

GTokley wrote:Ours washer is front load.

We went top load. 5.2 cu. ft. capacity. The biggest we could get. The dryer handles about 2 cu. ft. more than that.

Doobie wrote:Ours is a top loader.

We ordered the top load LG too. Wife wanted the least “features” and largest size available.

Front loaders are supposed to be more energy efficient and use less water, but with so many bells and whistles on them, plus the issue I have heard of with mold, we went with proven old school tech. Really, what good…[Read more]

In a perfect world everything would come in at once in time for me to make a single trip to get it all.

The shower head thingy and valve is ready for pick up but not the shower kit itself right now. The 2 things there are kind of useless without the m…[Read more]

Looks great. I guess taking the cleats off at the door will be manditory now.

Cha-ching!

Another $1800+ for the washer and dryer today. Went with an LG set from HD.

Had a heck of a time ordering it. HD does not own the machines, they just take the orders and the distributor delivers them. They don’t deliver to where the new house is. Well, they do, but it’s crazy money. They don’t deliver to the store because of…[Read more]
