Tomorrow: One last day.
Narrative: I’ve dug through the small (Third) bedroom at the farm. It’s mostly really old paperwork from the business and more stuff! We’ve amassed a large pile of garbage.
8:00 I’m going to try and load the rolls of fence into the PU as we get started today. We’ve been very lucky with the weather, it’s a little cold in the morning. Other than that, it has been bright sunny days in the 70’s!
11:00 First load of fence wire and all the bagged trash to the dump, headed to lunch. Stopped by tractor supply and that ended up with more questions than answers. Talked with G in Illinois and he recommended TSC UTF which does have the specification found in the tractor manual.
Took red gas golf cart, the large compressor, the manure spreader, the dump wagon, Auntie’s gates and some 4 square wire for underneath the dogs. I think we are down to a sewing machine, the red van, the white golf cart and the tractor stuff. I have a pile for the dumpster in the front yard.
The freezer of meat in the Bumpkin was not being kept frozen and white smelly liquid was dripping out the bottom. YUK! We moved it outside to thaw enough to get it open. Had left over Subway sandwich and cookie for dinner. I am a sore old man tonight! I set a camera on the security system in the Bumpkin so I’ll know if someone get’s close to it.
We’ve pushed as hard as we can for days on end, Today is Sunday and there is still a terrible lot to do. My wife is really late starting a final project for her college course. We’ve cancelled doctors and dentists appointments. We’ve had our children go into our house in Atlanta and send medicine because we’ve run out. We simply cannot stay down here any longer and I think we’ve done all we can. We’re planning on leaving for Atlanta on Tuesday morning, two days before Thanksgiving. We’ll to all we can to get all the personal paperwork and the tractor off the farm tomorrow. The red van will have to be towed to Grandpa’s.
What’s left is piles of junk in every building and all over the land between the buildings. (I already filled two 20 ft. dumpsters and it doesn’t look like we’ve moved anything.)
I am leaving a significant amount of infrastructure to support the cameras and outside lights on the farm. The 12 cameras are being modified to be a farm wide security alarm that sends a picture if anything moves in front of them. I do not know (when we actually start showing the property) if we should pull out all the cameras or leave them.
