Had the painter in yesterday to get me a head start on the worst rooms. Tomorrow it is dealing with the insurance adjuster for the house damage (3 hail storms in 3 hours hit the area). Dealt with the cars today. An afternoon in insurance adjustment tents.
Tomorrow we start on crown moldings again. Just a lot of work getting the house ready for sale, especially when having to deal with all these unexpected issues.
I have gone through all the closets and cabinets in every room, and most of the drawers and furniture as well. I GOT RADICAL and gave a TON of stuff away. This was last week.
Last week I also went through the pantry with a fine tooth comb. I am determined to eat most of what's in our house between now and then, so some meals may get weird!
I had already organized my spices a few months ago so that's all good.
Today I went through the closets and threw away all the wire hangers - since I got rid of so many clothes it was easy to hang them all on better hangers.
CCc - I took another load of books to the bookstore and got $65 for it - it's kinda nice to get some cash.
On a side note - normal people have on their calendar things like 'date with Sue' or 'girls night out' - I have 'free trash day' and 'document shred day'...
I bought Space Bags today. Interested to see how they help.
Elle, They help out quite a bit. Get the cube for blankets, bed spreads, towels, etc. We moved into my parents' house when my dad went to assisted living, leaving quite a bit of his stuff, including clothes here so we still have things we don't need quite often still packed up in space bags. We've been here 2 years and still packed tight.
CCgirl, hang in there. This too shall pass. You know, when you get everything organized, you can come help. House is a disaster! LOL
TX08, good luck with the move. Hope you get better.
We took three stacks of books to the used book store, $150 richer. Woohoo.
