Moving Out

 Demolition starts next week.

We are moving out of the house tomorrow.

We have the best neighbors in the world, and three of them offered to let us stay in their places while construction is on-going. The folks right to our east, and I mean EXACTLY to our east, have offered  their carriage house for the duration. It is a very nice, and well appointed one bedroom, one bath that looks out onto the Bogk house.

We have moved clothes, some kitchen goods and supplies, and various miscellanea that we will need while we are still in Milwaukee, as well as the items we will need for the drive back to Houston. But I can tell you this - even if you have been in a place for a relatively short time (under two years) you have a lot of stuff in your kitchen and bathrooms, which are the rooms that are being renovated.

We moved our stuff over the course of two days, and I believe that we made at least 15, maybe 20 trips in the car. We would load up our boxes, drive the 0.2 miles to the carriage house:

then we would walk with the 10 boxes or so we could fit into the car up stairs, unload them, go back down and start all over again.

It was very tiring.
