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.
We took a ride out to Valley Springs this afternoon to check out our new to us home. We had to make a few measurements for our piano and refrigerator space. This time I took along my Canon 5DMK3 for wider angle shots instead of the usual iPhone snapshots.
Our property has a lot of photo opportunities with the natural background and studio I will be incorporating into the man cave shop down the hill.
I’ll be using our gazebo for some cool shots once we are settled in.
We are into the packing stage and moving stuff into temporary storage.
Our little fur ball “Serenity” is being her usual helpful self.
Stacking as high as I can reach.
It’s been a hectic last few days and Seller has accepted our offer! We will be moving after escrow closes! Valley Springs here we come!!
This will be our first and last home purchased together. We’ll make it our own and enjoy every minute of it.
The rear deck patio view is nuts. It faces the west so we will be able to enjoy the sunset while having dinner out on the back deck.
Home of future “Bus Station”. Look at the size of this shop! I’m going to fix it up into a bad ass man cave that also serves as a shop for buses.
We’ll probably have other non-VW classic cars on occasion since I still dig sport cars and old school muscle machines.
