MyLuvBugs replied: Sounds like you're doing an amazing job! I can hardly wait to see pictures. smile.gif I bet Steph is just so excited to be done with it and settle in. smile.gif Is she feeling ok?

J-rod replied: she is really exhausted...we got a lot going on right now....something BIG planned for friday wink.gif

CantWait replied: WOW sounds really busy. Glad it's coming along though. Good luck finishing.

luvmykids replied: Gosh, just reading that made me tired! You'll feel so good to get it all done though, hope you get some rest before the baby comes. rolling_smile.gif

J-rod replied: i hope so...its draining me soooooo bad right now.

J-rod replied: SOOO mad at myself....was supposed to pack up old kitchen last night...ended up falling asleep all night. steph let me sleep too since i did need it but couldnt afford to on my own.....i needed to get that kitchen packed up....now i got work all day..then coach...then start moving the big things with her dad tongiht...where am i gonna find time to pack the stuff. growl.gif growl.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: Take it all easy. Stressing over it is not going to complete it any faster. She knew you needed that sleep, and kudos to her for allowing you to. wink.gif

I have no idea where you can find the time to do it, but bits and pieces here and there can be accomplished. If you are moving in town, you can always toss things into a box/storage container and just take them to the new house. Or if you find you are pressed on time at Thursday's final cleanup, toss what you can into the car and go.

J-rod replied: we are only moving 1.5 miles down the road...closer to town...but only 3 miles from mom/dad. her dad is helping move our big items tonight...im just worried once i get all the things in the house...i wont find the time/way to finish all the trim.

J-rod replied: UPDATE:

Steph and her mom went over and cleaned the windows and shampoo'd and cleaned carpets. biggrin.gif

her dad and i moved ALL the big stuff: queen bed, dresser, couch,recliner, washer/dryer, TV's, and Gun cabinet, my car parts. that bed was a PITA to get up the stairs...cause when the house was built they didnt have those big beds....had to remove the door and force it up the hall...glad we didnt paint the halls yet. LOL

so tonight is just cleaning old house, moving kitchen, and all the clothes. so it wont be as hard of a night....tonight i spend the night at the new house... thumb.gif


edit - still have all that trim left to paint blink.gif

edit - 2 oh yea...construction on new kitchen begins friday morning!

now all i have to do is the bathroom.

holley79 replied: Oh sounds like you have been very busy. How's mommy and baby???

J-rod replied:
