Packing

No news yet, email & both phones remain quiet... to quiet!
In the mean time I continue to pack. I am making progress! I have been real worried about having enough room for everything. I taped of the area of space we will have in the trailer & the U-haul tote box, then started moving the boxes around to make everything fit. 
This is the tote space. It is actually taller than the cabin ceiling so there will be room for 1 more row of boxes on the top. The blankets & stuff in the corner will be used to stuff the nooks & crannies so there is room for a couple more boxes there. The row of boxes on the far left will be the ones we can mail or UPS if we have to. However it looks like there should be room for them. There really is not a lot left in the house & there is still the truck canape. 
The picture below is the trailer space. The lager area in front is where the mini & bed will go. They will take up almost all of the floor up to 4 foot. The trailer is also taller than the cabin ceiling, a little over 7 foot. So we will have that whole trailer length times 3 foot high. The space in the back is from the floor up to 7 foot high. I am hoping to get the tall cabinet thing Mark is using for his clothes & the wood dresser in this space. And there should be more room for boxes here too.

Tomorrow I start on the main stuff in the house. I have a little bit more to do in the office (including the desk) It will be taken apart & packed in a mirror box. The file boxes are almost empty & I will pack as much of the office stuff as I can in the drawers. 
I noticed last night while I was eating dinner & watching TV that there was an echo in the room. A sure sign of the "in between" stage. 
We have sold a lot of stuff but there will be much more we will leave behind. This next photo is step 1 going to the thrift store. There will be at least this much if not more inside the house, but I think most of that is going to a friend & her kids. 

I hope we will get the news soon, this week would be nice so we can get the actual moving & travel arrangements made. Oh well, maybe tomorrow....
