Mark is home and we are very busy getting last minute details & packing done. I finally got the plywood panels attached & most of the caulking done on the trailer, but there are still a couple of seams that need to be done. Hopefully the rain will hold off for a couple of hours so I can get it done. Even then it wont be totally water proof but with the tarps it will work.
We will be draining the waterbed today, that will be the first thing to load up in the trailer. It will get a bit crazy here the next few days. We will need to do a couple dump runs before we can load up the truck, which will be the last thing to load. The TV, computer and the lighter boxes will go in there.
Oh yea, a small set back in the rental of this place, the guy backed out at the last minute. It's kind of a big deal but the manager has a couple more families lined up & has assured us that she will get it rented by the 1st. I am disappointed but not really worried. The main attraction of the new house was that we could afford both if we had to. We also found out that we will not be able to pick up the truck from Tacoma until Sept. 6th because of the holiday! That is going to be inconvenient but the rental truck will have unlimited miles, we will just have a couple more days rent on it. The hardest part for me will be going with out a computer, but we will have the laptops with Mark's phone internet so we will make it work.
It is amazing how many small details have to be worked out for everything! I was remembering how crazy it got in the last minute when we got ready for the move here from Aberdeen! I do believe it is going much smoother this time (at least so far)
I will try to post at least one more time before I pack up the computer. The next few days will go by fast and soon we will be walking into our new home for the first time!
