PACKING... STORAGE

GOOD MORNING.  
I slept in today.  It was wonderful.

Lacy is coming out this morning to give me a hand with the packing.
I plan on taking some stuff to the Storage Facility, there's still a little bit of room in there for more stuff.

What I can't fit in there, I will take to my girlfriend's in November. 

After I've finished with packing the china and pictures etc, I will move on to the walls. There is a good week or two's worth of work to get the walls (that I've not already painted), all good again.  I'm not looking forward to that, I'm so over painting! 

But oh well... it will be worth it at the end of the day right?  The house will be looking lovely for the new owners come December.

Sadly, our new home is going to need re-decorating too.  There's a hideous wallpaper in the living rooms/hallways and the master bedroom... all will have to be stripped and painted over time.

But, one thing at a time.  This house first.

We found out something awesome (sort of!) from the owner of our new home yesterday.  If our dogs bark in the back yard, we don't have to worry about the neighbour over the back fence!
Seems she's profoundly deaf and won't hear them.  *smiles*  And yes, our dogs do bark sometimes, mostly when they see someone on the driveway, or walking past on the footpath.  

In this new house, they won't be able to see anyone on the driveway or path from their area outside.  That's going to be awesome.

ANOTHER bit of good news... I got my refund from Vistaprint yesterday.  Very happy, I can now go and get my car's door fixed.  And I shall never, ever put a magnet on my car again.

And that's me for now... catch ya later.

ONWARD...

I apologise if I offended any deaf person with my post!  I did not intend to.  It wasn't a 'joke' ... it was just me saying it was 'good' that our dogs would not annoy that neighbour by barking.

It is now 3.20 pm and Lacy has just left for the day.  Between us we took three full loads, in Stew's larger car, to the Storage unit at Tamahere.

I am thrilled with how much we got done today!
All but two of our paintings, and about 12 boxes of china, and various small items that we shoved in spaces.

There's probably room for another 12 boxes in the unit too.

ABOVE:  From memory this space was 3 m X 4 m X about 3 m high, and I've filled up 95% of it!
The X's show where I still have some space to put more boxes.  

I will probably fill them tomorrow.

But right now.. I'm going to have a nap!  I'm just a bit tired. 
We have pulled pork cooking in the crock pot... it is smelling divine! 

Dinner... was delicious!  And I'm still tired, so am going to bed super early tonight.
