Moving In

Last week things all came together as a best case scenario.
Tuesday, MLGW placed the meter. Wednesday, Ellendale Electric came out & tested their work. Thursday, Electrical inspection. Friday, final inspection.

Friday I polished all of the floors and let it dry overnight. Saturday we started moving things into the house. We put in the new things that we needed for the house and did not have since we lived in a RV. Brenda's cousin Diane and her daughter came over and helped move things out of the garage and into the house. They also helped washing and sorting the dishes and tableware and trying to help Brenda decide where to place them. There is so much more cabinet space and we haven't begun to occupy that space.

We started moving things from the coach and we had forgotten just how much stuff that you can put in that space (less than 400 sq feet). We haven't begun on the basement compartments and there is still lots of things left to take out of the coach and bring to the house. We have gotten the food and clothes over here and we will decide what stays and what is moved as we clean out places. We plan to keep the RV so many things that were collected for that particular lifestyle will remain with the RV. I expect we will find things that were put in a place where we could find it and really misplaced them. I have found a few things already.

Mike decided that because the garage faces north, that he could not wait to put the garage door on. He was planning to wail until next year, but the weather is cooler now and the wind is out of the north so that the fallen leaves have blown into the garage. We even had some snow on Monday (flurries at best....you really had to look hard to see it).
The Farmers Almanac predicts a cold winter here this year.

Since we have moved out of the RV, I now have to winterize it for the first time. I have read how to do it and I expect it won't be too difficult. This is our 7th winter and we have always been where the weather wasn't that cold, and while it is occupied there is no need to winterize it.

There are many things that you don't realize that are needed for a home. Trash cans, wall decorations, window treatments, etc. Just the many little things that we will collect those as time passes.

Brenda likes working at Big Lots, but still is only getting 10-11 hours hours per week. We are hoping as it gets closer to Christmas her hours will pick up.

Cleo is adjusting to her new digs. She wanders all over the house and hasn't found a place to hide yet. She still walks on us at night and she is spending more time with us at night. She does settle down, but still walks on us and around us while we are trying to sleep.

More later.

Ta ta for now.
