Right here is a photograph dump of pics from our transfer from our predominant home that’s getting renovated to our rental cottage the place we’ll keep for the following 5 months!

Packing Up

Now that we’re settled into our rental home and the principle home building has began, I really feel such a aid! Whereas that is all very thrilling, the entire means of shifting out was not one thing I used to be trying ahead to. However we survived!! 

Part of me is aware of that the toughest a part of all of that is going to be the month of August once we are in between properties and sofa browsing, a call we made to avoid wasting (numerous) cash.

We’ll be going to my dad and mom’ home for the primary half of August and probably dwelling with Thomas’s dad and mom, associates, or one other shorter time period rental till or renovation is full. After all I’m hoping the home will probably be prepared forward of schedule, however everyone knows that can positively not occur! 

However our basement nonetheless has a number of house to obtain the entire objects we dropped at the rental, after which no less than it’s going to all be below one roof ready for us to maneuver all of it again upstairs!

Right here’s a photograph dump of pics from final week as we packed up one home and settled into one other. 

Wednesday: Shifting Out

Final Wednesday was the primary evening we had been planning to sleep on the cottage, in order that imply all of our private objects made the transfer that day. I additionally took the entire bedding off and made positive every little thing was out of drawers and closets earlier than the movers got here the following morning. 

“Don’t overlook me!”

“Received you Gus!”

Shifting Into The Cottage

I took tons and plenty of hundreds over of unfastened objects in laundry baskets and baggage. I unpacked every load as I took it over so the home instantly felt settled (apart from Thomas’s garments which took eternally to get put away! Ha!)

Having a truck is the most effective factor ever!

The toughest a part of shifting in was we did a sofa swap. We put the cottage sofa within the again bed room and introduced our mattress cozy sofa into the lounge. Positively the proper name! 

It’s been enjoyable to have one-level dwelling! Going into Birch’s room at nighttime is a lot simpler with out stairs. Gus is loving no stairs too! And I really like having a washer/dryer steps from my bed room. That is all making me rethink our everlasting three-story home….!

How cute is that this entrance porch!?

I believe we’d like a bit playhouse for again right here….

Evening One

Many due to Thomas’s dad and mom who picked up Birch from faculty and had him for an in a single day sleepover. Thomas and I labored till dinnertime, showered, after which went downtown for some refreshing margs and dinner at Passiflora. 

We even snuck in a lunch date at Botanical the following day. Tremendous useful since we tried to maneuver the least quantity of meals potential so the fridge was naked! 

Thursday: Movers Day

On Thursday Thomas met the movers at 8:15am. Two Males and a Truck did a fantastic job! The two.5 hours they spent shifting all of our tremendous heavy and hulking furnishings price us $525 + ideas. We’ll need to do it once more once we transfer again in. However there was no manner we might have finished this ourselves. The one factor except for our sofa that isn’t within the basement is our eating desk, which is in our neighbor’s’ basement. 

I’m really actually happy with how properly every little thing match into the basement. My greatest want was that each one closets and drawers had been accessible and they’re! And our household room remains to be playable too. The visitor room is even sleepable if Thomas must sleep there within the ultimate stretch of the reno in August. 

All of the beds and bedding!

Get To Work

Thomas wasted no time getting the home prepped for demo.

Whereas I carried our final remaining kitchen provides downstairs and Eileen did some mopping (haha), Thomas taped the hearth off, porch flooring, and had his plumbers there inside an hour taking down fixtures. He even had our vary bought on shifting day! 

Vacancy

I’ve so many feelings about seeing this home empty. It’s not goodbye; it’s simply goodbye!!
