Status: There is a pile of stuff in the living room and somewhat less on the porch in the house. There are so many nook and crannies in that house, it took a minute to bag everything yesterday.
Plans: Two teams, one cleaning one moving. The stuff in the living room we’ll just load all of it up and move to Grandpa’s in box trailer first thing. Second is a the stuff in front of the Bumpkin, again we’re down to four hours. Just move it to Grandpa’s. Inside the Bumkin had been compressed considerably with the collapsing of the dog crates. We should be able to get all of the dog stuff moved in one shot. R can mop the floors while I am moving the stuff, she should be on the farm by 8AM. I might be able to unload the tac shed, but that’s a stretch. M might be able to help, but we’d have to go get her with child in tow.
Tough Stuff: The square platforms that the puppies were on are too big to carry in the trailer. (They are also covered in dog feces.) We should be easily out of the house by Noon, we’re not likely to be finished with everything by noon.
Narrative: Ate breakfast at the hotel and made it to the farm shortly after 8AM. Moved all the loose stuff in the living room and the porch into the trailer. Loaded the bags of trash onto the PU truck. 09:00 left for the recycling center while Auntie mopped the floors. Dropped off the bagged trash and headed for grandpa’s to empty the trailer of house stuff into grandpa’s shed. Emptied the PU truck bed that was full of wood onto Grandpa’s burn pile and headed back to mom’s farm.
10:00, time is running by so quickly… Loaded all the big wood stuff into the trailer and the metal cages we crushed last night into the PU truck and parked it near the gate. We left for lunch for the showing at noon. We overslept just a little and Auntie called wondering where we were. I asked her to meet us at grandpa’s to save time. We drove to mom’s farm and I drove the PU truck back to grandpa’s farm and unloaded the large pieces of wood from the bumpkin lawn onto Aunties burn pile.
I had bought mom a new and familiar battery charger and a pile of rechargeable batteries for her landline cordless phone. The batteries are also for their 6 or more cute LED lanterns that I bought them in case of power failure.
We called it a day and went to Chili’s for Din Din and a Margarita to relax. In the hotel typing on the blog by 7PM. Wife is watching NCIS reruns with commercials. YUK
Tomorrow: It’s unlikely that a Blog entry will be made tomorrow morning.
