Project 595: D-Day Minus One!

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
So tomorrow is the day when we get possession of the Delaware house, so Carol and I go up to the lawyer's office today to sign the papers that will release hundreds of thousands of dollars into the account of the seller.

Eek!

Our bank (ScotiaBank at College have been great) has arranged bridge financing to cover us for the five days until our buyer releases hundreds of thousands of dollars into our account, but until then the main goal is to get serious on the major packing items like kitchen, garage and basement. 

The garage is truly unholy, but my plan is to simply throw most of it into the back of the car and take it up myself rather than try and pack it for the movers.

Then on Friday evening, the real estate Gods willing, we'll go over with the kids, some treats and maybe a picnic, and have a little celebration in the large and empty living room. I think the hockey mini sticks may be required too.

Let the fun begin! I'm going to do my best to document the process of moving to our new house, and especially the renovation process, right here under the Project 595 monicker.

Yeah, like CNN, I have a logo for everything.

First up: Meeting the architects and discovering how much money is really no money at all. 

Summer already?

Wow, it's been awhile. Most of my posts about work have been moved over to my work-based blog, so if you liked that stuff then check it out.

On the other hand, if you like family news or especially stupid stuff of no professional or intellectual significance, this is the place my friends. This is the place.

To wit, writing legend William Faulkner. It's not easy to dress well in the summer for men, but nothing's worse than a poor effort.
