Tomorrow we start a new phase of our lives. We will be full-timing in our RV!
Excited but cautious. Everything I know, own, and Love is in a aluminum box on wheels.
I am really trying to not think too much of the next few week’s. Trying to stay focused on the now and take everything one step at a time. I know what I have to do and I know the amount of time it must be done in. So starting Early Thursday is a must.
1) Install cat door to outside storage for litter.
2) Tile slide out floor.
3) Assemble 4 Ikea items.
4) Confirm our living/work space will work/function as we planned. If not make needed adjustment’s.
5) Attach Ikea items to slide out floor, attach desk top.
6) Confirm everything is secured properly and safely.
7) Modify existing cat tree into larger cat tree, secure to floor using swivel base.
If I can get this list completed the first week, life will be DAMN GOOD.
Getting up early, eat, make the final run to Ackbar, come back and shower, grab the cat’s and head off to Ackbar to prepare for the first leg of our new life.
Troutdale, Or to Everett, WA – 211 miles – 3 Hours 11 mins so says Google.
We plan to be there by 2pm and should be if all goes well.
Not like anything can go wrong right?

When we first viewed this house on August 8, 2008, we was told the property next door would be replacing the privacy fence that had rotted away.
Anyone want to take a guess what was started today, the day before we leave?
wall + head x infinity.

We spent the first part of today running from storage unit to storage unit, took more stuff to Ackbar and finally started the cleaning.
Ugh…
We have been cleaning since 2pm and it is now 9:35pm. As soon as the dryer is done I can bring both the washer and dryer downstairs for tomorrows pick up via Habitat for Humanity.
Tomorrow consist of more running to storage units as well as multiple runs to Ackbar, and the final sweeping of carpets.
And hopefully before 6pm we have finished taking everything but the cats, bedding, food, booze, smoke and some clothes to Ackbar as we spend our final night in a empty house.
Tired. Sore. Congested.

Holy crap!
We had a “panic attack” of sort’s, well maybe it was a moment of clarity? Either way, we took the wood lament flooring and padding back and got vinyl “marbled rock” tile’s.
Which is what we knew we should have got the first time, but whatever we have them now.
We also got $126 back during the return/exchange so that is uber cool!
Right now we are in that “not much can be done at this point and time, but sit and wait” phase.
If it came to it, we could have everything out and into Ackbar in 2 hours or less.
We have a few hours worth of cleaning but will wait to do that when we have everything else taken care of.
ho hum…
