Today marks the 1 month milestone since we moved into our retirement home. We’ve made a lot of progress in getting it all situated to our needs.
I’m in charge of the shop and wifey is in charge of everything else! LOL!!
Furballs are still adjusting to all the space they have access to. They staked claimed on the blue bus chair I kept. They still jump inside of Cyclops like they used to do at the old spot.
I replaced a leaky kitchen faucet this evening. Opted for a “goose neck” model to allow pot pan cleaning easier.
The bottom of the sink so I can remember where everything went.
Continued working on the shop. I have the cabling to get my Ethernet from the house up the hill down to the bottom. It’s close to 150′ total run.
Had a really super day at Aze and Andrews baby shower. It really shows how time has flown by. I can remember the day they came by the house to let us know they were having a baby.
Of course we ordered a traditional Lichon for the festive occasion.
This past week I’ve been working on the man cave aka “The Shop”. When I have the chance after work and not too tired I put some time in. Most of it is cleaning out the old and making room for my stuff. There wasn’t too much to clean, most loose items inside of the cabinets.
One thing about having a huge shop everything is relatively small compared to the inside. As a example I have a 65″ flat screen on the wall and it looks like a dinky view master.
I’m not sure I’ll keep the motorcycle inside of the shop since I plan on commuting with it. I’ll probably park inside of the 2 car garage on the other side of the property once it has been cleared out of boxes and other household items requiring attention.
We dropped off a bunch of stuff into the man cave it’s going to take awhile to sort out all the boxes and arranging everything. Packing company we used gave us these speed packs which are super convenient for transporting in the garage, seeds and general backyard items. We ended up with about 30 of those things and they all ended up in the shop regardless of the items in it. Shit.
We started moving 7:30am and didn’t stop until passed 11:30pm. Still have not completed the move.
We hired a moving company to move our Stockton home. They brought a crew of seven workers and three 26′ foot trucks. They originally brought two but it was apparent that wasn’t going to enough capacity really quick.
Today we expect to record and close on our Valley Springs home. We should be receiving the keys later today too!
UPDATE: escrow recorded and we received the keys to our home. We took a quick ride out to Valley Springs so I could prepare the shop for Cyclops arrival.
Wifey checking out the drive way lights to her garage.
We officially closed our escrow today. The “sold” sign was up for probably a couple days and I was lucky enough to get this photo.
Today we went to our home up at Valley Springs and did the final walk thru minus the shop because we could not find the key.
Look at the size of the boulder on our front section of the property. Sucker is massive, I need to come up with names for these things.
