It's June 2012, and we are in the process of moving next door. That's right next door from our current five acres(1 acre home and 4 acres of navel oranges, which we will continue to farm and rent the house out, to our new beautiful victorian home with five acres of pecans. We are sooooo excited!! But first we gotta do the hard work of cleaning up the yard and old home for the renters and cleaning the new home and moving in. So needless to say it is gonna be one busy summer. Add in some camps, and mini trips to the cabin, coast and in laws, swimming accross the street,and scouts events and it is a full summer!!! I am trying my best to be as organized as possible.
First off, every box has a number and a picture of whats inside, once its full. That number and description goes on my master list, with a room assignment. The box is then labeled with the number, description, and room assignment. So no matter who is carrying the boxes. Since it primarily won't be me due to a spinal fusion, they will end up in the right places. Then each room of the new house, which has several outbuildings and barn. will receive a label on it of what the room is called and that will match the labels on the boxes. Hey, at least I didn't make a spreadsheet of the masterlist! I just hand wrote it! After moving about 20 times before I was 18, I like to think I am an expert at moving. So we shall see how smoothly this goes. I will add some pictures to this post soon.
Wow and I thought I was the major organizer. I will now take a back seat. All of our moves were good after all. lol. Good job Girl!!
ReplyDeleteI learned from the best. I know you never had a master list mom. I don't know how all our moves went so smoothly. we where always buying houses, fixing them up and selling them. I counted one time and came up with 20 moves! I can not wait to show you before and after pics of the place, escpecially once it is organized!!
