We made the best effort to move everything out of the house but things did not go forward with enough progress (which has been the answer to every part of this move and construction). My new goal is to try to move things over through the week and really move in this weekend. Cross your fingers and hope that we can get it done. My husband has to hook up the lights in the two bathrooms and on the microwave hood. The plumber is coming on Friday to hook up the kitchen sink, garbage disposal, water line for the fridge and the last bathroom sink with hope that also means the dishwasher. I need to call the phone and cable company and get those shut off at the other house and hooked up at the new house....wonder how long that takes to get an appointment.
We still have the stove top and the oven sitting on the floor and everything else sort of a mess but I am so ready to move in and not be going back and forth to two different houses that it doesn't matter to me. I went to the grocery store to get some ground beef. I am going to make tacos tonight for dinner and then make at least two freezer containers of French dip sloppy joe and two containers of salsa sloppy joes at the old house to freeze at the new house. I made a batch of rolls last night at the old house and threw them in freezer. My husband has to get the propane filled and then I think that we will be grilling lots of our meals at the new house until he gets the oven and stove hooked up
Monday- Tacos with saffron rice
Tuesday- Spaghetti with garlic bread
Wednesday- Salsa Sloppy Joes with mac and cheese
Thursday- Leftovers or Take out
Friday- Chicken Nugget Wraps with homemade fries
Saturday
Sunday- Picnic for Soccer
I am hoping that the week goes well and I have a chance to move a bunch more to the new house but things are slow going at this point and we have a lot of things still left to do and not enough hours to do them in so we will see how that goes
I hope everything works out for you so you can move in this weekend and stop that insanity... somewhat! I know that the people who moved in next to us last weekend had the cable installers here on a Sunday. I think the Cable industry is hurting enough that they're rushing to install the service before people have time to change their mind, lol.
ReplyDeleteSo funny because I checked my messages and this came up between calling the cable people and the phone people to try to get the best deal on internet. I am trying to get all that set up this week but it is such a headache!! I want to dump the home phone especially since we can't bring the number with us but my husband wants to keep it for emergencies. I told him if we have an emergency, it will most likely not be working :) I am working on my mass cooking plan to fill the freezer at the new house and hoping for the best. Think good thoughts for us!!!
DeleteGood luck with the move! It is always those last little things that seem to take forever - very frustrating. Have fun with the freezer cooking. I haven't been able to do that lately as our freezer is already full to the top with beef!
ReplyDeleteIt was a little much to tackle with dinner last night but I got two containers of salsa sloppy joes, two containers of french dip sloppy joes and two containers of taco meat. I also got dinner on the table and extra saffron rice to freeze and reheat. Now I just have to bring back some more containers to freeze it in from the other house :) I need to get the freezer at the old house emptied and moved over to the new house so that I can get started on filling it to the brim too!!
