The Move - Chapter 2




It is early February and the plan is starting to rollout.  We are feeling a lot of pressure to evaluate how our existing furniture and art collection will be used in our new home.  We are gaining 400 square feet in our new home, so one would think we would need to buy new furniture, however, there's definitely a worry about where things will go.  We have a lot of "where are we going to put that?" conversations.  The new home does have a lot more windows which limits the wall space in all the normal places.

We've started packing a few things, focusing on my office first.  After this weekend, however, we are going to really press the gas pedal in order to fill up the the U-Haul and declutter as much as possible our current home.  The March 6th U-Haul pickup and March 8th 'hit the road' dates are creeping up quickly.  Getting loaded in Tomball and unloaded Summerville will include enlisting the help of a contract mover.  We still need to arrange these as well as storage in Summerville.  We are looking for a 1st floor temperature controlled unit.

Our daughter-in-law took some photos of our new home location and the contractor has started framing the foundation.  We also saw that the building permit was issued by the Town of Summerville.   All of this is getting very real.

More to come...

Small update:  Today - 2/9/2024, we received official notification that our construction start date is today!
