Packing

Packing up in preparation for the floors being re-done in a couple weeks! We emptied our storage in the garage (mostly kids clothing in plastic totes) to the storage unit we have (a small one, we have to have it as the address for our business, as you are not allowed to run a business from your home, weird I know), and have begun to load the contents of our house. We are hoping it will all fit in there and we won't need to rent a pod. This is going to be a huge project for Brian, just in the moving alone!

Living room wall, which will soon be gone. Our remodel includes several 'phases'...eventually the kitchen will be in the garage, and the kitchen will be a dining room/living space as it will all be open to the current livingroom. Anyway, since the floors are being done, we need the wall down so he can make them transition from room to room as nicely as possible. The garage will be moved to a storage shed/barn we are building in the back/side yard (starting at the end of the side driveway for those that can visualize it). We just bought the plans from Better Barns, and they arrived yesterday! We are going with a 12x16 Colonial with a Wood Storage Addition. Anyway, we have the plans just because we found what we wanted so we'll have it when we are ready. It will be a little while before we can afford the kitchen remodel, and we won't need the shed/barn until that happens!

Here's the beginning of "life in the garage"!
