Yes, we have vacated our home and are staying friends for a few days. This lets the painters get in there and do their magic to the inside of the house for potential renters. Janeen has a couple more doctor’s appointments (Friday and Tuesday AM and once she is ‘cleared’ we are OUT OF HERE!
6-13-17 In a Week….
Yes, in about a week – seven days – we head out. So, over the last several months we have: held a giant garage sale; unloaded lots of stuff to various charities; stored a bunch of stuff in various places; moved a LOT of wine from our on-site storage to off-site storage for duration; been to various doctors to get check ups (including a total Knee replacement for David); had the exterior of the house painted; termite work done; and general done everything except leave. Over the next two days we complete vacating the house so painters can come in and paint the interior of the place and next week our property manager will start showing it for rental. For a few days we will be staying with our friends the Bells so we can do final packing of the car and check on the painters.
So stay tuned as we head out for our Gap Year Adventure.
6-8-17 It’s actually happening
After talking about it for 6 months, the plans are coming together – the first being moving out of our home so it can be rented. The last couple of weeks have resulted in empty rooms, boxes in storage and lots of items leaving. Today is the 9th of June – next week the painters come in to spruce up the place and on the 21st or 22nd we leave…
6-6-27 The Clock Continues to wind down to departure
Over the last few days we have continued to pack up the house and make plans for our departure. Right now we will be out of the house by the 15th of June and stay with some friends for a few days while the painters work on the inside of the house. Once everything is complete and all the boxes we need stored have been locked away we will get into our car and head NORTH. The first stop will be in Morro Bay and from there on to Cupertino.
So, stay tuned as the head out on our Adventure.
6-3-17 – 17 days to lift off
Work continues in our efforts to move out of our house. Boxes have been filled and stored, furniture moved to the garage, address change submitted and packing for our trip is underway. Over the next 2 weeks, we will be fully out of our home and getting the interior painted for new renters; have paced the car to make sure everything fits and finally stayed with friends for a few days. First stop, Morro Bay to visit with our friend Clauda. From there further north to Cupertino and various spots around SF Bay. Lots more coming folks so stay tuned.
