Beat Down
I cannot remember a time when my body has been this sore since my Navy days. The driveway, front walk and back patio have been scrubbed; the walls have been prepped for painting; there has been non-stop packing, moving and stacking; and a host of other activities going on this past weekend.Progress on the home is definitely being made, although at times it does not seem like it.
Today the movers are coming over to relocate at least 60% (likely more) of our life to storage. De-personalize and de-clutter is the mantra from Beverly the interior designer.
It's not a bad exercise as it makes you consider how mouch you actually have and how much you really need. For example, it is suggested you keep only 20% of your clothes. And it really was not hard considering what to keep - although I will probably look a little funny walking around in just underwear.
There is plenty more "home" work to be done and with the regular work week starting there is no time to rest, although I don't necessarily mind taking a break to do my day job.
I also have some good news. A number of folks volunteered to host the Beer Cellar and I have chosen to bestow the honor on my dad is indeed a trustworthy individual.

Beer Cellar? Me Me Me. You want the empties back?

Good luck with selling the townhouse! I may need to get Beverly's number...we still haven't put the old house on the market and could use the advice of an expert. We should be ready in the next week or two and wanna sell asap!
