have been in moving mode, in the zone, very focused, and now for an update on how it all went.<\/p>\n<p>Moving day was hectic as you can imagine and turned out to be moving dayS as the company we used only has one size truck and we filled it with a fair amount of stuff remaining. \u00a0We did the main load on Monday the 23rd, and had to have another round on Tuesday the 24th to get the rest. \u00a0That was unexpected and frustrating, but in the end it worked out fine and the movers did a great job with minimal damage to anything. \u00a0Success in my book. \u00a0I did feel badly for them, however, as the conditions at the new house were not optimal. \u00a0We STILL do not have a driveway and had to use our neighbor&#8217;s carport and a &#8220;runway&#8221; of plywood over all the mud and dirt to get to our garage. \u00a0They moved it all with no complaints and got it done.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magnahomeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2837.jpg\"><img

fit through the doorway. \u00a0Major bummer. \u00a0But the beauty of still being a construction zone is that there are plenty of contractors\/people\/workers around in the market for furniture, so it did not take long for one of them to scoop it up and so it was not sitting in our garage for long. \u00a0Since we had sold so much of our furniture and belongings before the move, we were counting on that set to fill the family room, and now we were left in the market for ANOTHER piece of furniture. \u00a0Our credit cards are taking a beating.<\/p>\n<p>So since I mentioned the condition of the outside of the house, I guess I will start there. \u00a0But perhaps there is really not much to say, so I will give you bullet points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We still have no driveway.<\/li>\n<li>We need to get the sidewalk done first to get a driveway.<\/li>\n<li>The sidewalk can&#8217;t go in until the curb is done.<\/li>\n<li>The inspector keeps changing the rules and water lines, sewer lines and the curb has been moved several times. \u00a0Guy keeps giving a new direction each time he comes out.<\/li>\n<li>The concrete guys have added fuel to the fire by pouring the curb incorrectly twice.<\/li>\n<li>Curb has been torn out twice.<\/li>\n<li>We are on the third pouring of the curb or portions of it anyway.<\/li>\n<li>It is rainy here.<\/li>\n<li>Rain makes dirt into mud.<\/li>\n<li>In order to get to our cars parked 1\/2 block away, we have to walk through all this mud.<\/li>\n<li>Every contractor doing work inside also walks through this mud.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of mud\/dust\/gravel\/filth in our new house. \ud83d\ude41<\/li>\n<li>Enough said, let the photos speak to you&#8230;<a

offsetting the mayhem outside (except when I am working in my office and they are jackhammering the curb out for the second time and the whole house shakes). \u00a0The house is beautiful and better than we dreamed. \u00a0I snapped photos when we first arrived with our stuff in the truck as it would be the last photos of the house empty and &#8220;ready&#8221; for move in. \u00a0Check it

now down to all the little stuff on the inside and pretty much totally unpacked. \u00a0Adjustments that need to be made to fixtures, dents and dings that need to be repaired and things that were forgotten or are incorrect. \u00a0Lots of list writing and working with the site manager to coordinate it all. \u00a0I took a fair amount of vacation which was a very good thing as I could focus my attention on what needed to be done. \u00a0But as of Tuesday the 1st I was back at work and it has not been easy to stay focused when there is so much in and out and activity here. \u00a0Not complaining by any means, just saying&#8217;&#8230; \u00a0Now being here we are available for everyone to ask us questions, so we get pulled in a million directions every day. \u00a0So amazing how much still needs our attention.<\/p>\n<p>Bill also had to deal with the wine that he decided to move himself. \u00a0He did not count on us not having a driveway, so he esentially carried every box by hand from the old house, through the neighbors garage to the new house and down into the cellar. \u00a0Took him about 4 days, and the day the last case came it, we celebrated like no other. \u00a0What a chore and made much more difficult by the lack of concrete. \u00a0I gotta hand it to him, I would have been totally overwhelmed by day 2, but he did it and is so happy with the new situation! \u00a0Go Bill!<\/p>\n<p>We said goodbye to our old house on Sunday the 29th and it was a major relief to be done. \u00a0Did a bit of cleaning (movers trashed the carpets and they had to be cleaned) and labeling of stuff around the house for the new owner and away we went. \u00a0Not having two places to even think about is a major weight off our shoulders. \u00a0Feels so good. \u00a0The new owner is doing her own remodel and will be tearing out all the flooring and possibly the cabinets (which we had redone only a year ago), so she will be having fun too! \u00a0I know she will like living there as much as we did.<\/p>\n<p>The new house is relatively bare since we sold so much furniture and wanted to wait until we got here to figure out what would look right. \u00a0We need a lot of new stuff as this style of home is so different than our old house, so we spent a day buying furniture that is all on backorder. \u00a0lol. \u00a0Of course the one time I actually wait to get into a house to buy furniture, none of it is in stock. \u00a0Oh well, we&#8217;re making due with what we have and it&#8217;s not a hardship by any means. \u00a0Just excited to pull it all together.<\/p>\n<p>So we&#8217;re working things out, piecing in all together, and staying in a holding pattern on some things until other pieces fall in to place and we can move forward. \u00a0That&#8217;s pretty much a summary of our status to date. \u00a0We knew things were not going to be perfect. \u00a0A few things have surprised us, but that&#8217;s what you deal with when building. \u00a0My beloved refrigerator is too big for the spot in the kitchen, our washer died, our toilet tissue holders are not the ones we chose, the bathtub faucet is wrong, kitchen drawer handle is crooked, and Comcast still has work to do. \u00a0These are just a few examples of our first world problems. \u00a0Earth shattering stuff. \u00a0We are in. \u00a0We are so excited. \u00a0We are thrilled with the end product so far and loving every square inch of this place. \u00a0I really don&#8217;t want to leave, but I have to travel for work next week.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this gives you an idea of how it all went and what our status is as so many of you have been asking. \u00a0Apologies for taking so long to update, but I&#8217;m sure you appreciate the hectic nature of the last two weeks. \u00a0Once our furniture and decor come together a bit more, I will send some photos of how that is going.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading, and I will leave you with a few more photos of the outside of the house.<\/p>\n<p><a
