THANK YOU!! for all the volunteers that have contacted me in the last few days. I have been contacted by a few of you who have demanded (and even chastised) that I ask you for assistance in the house clean/move. I can’t tell you how much I really appreciate it. I usually try to get my projects completed by myself (although I may vent about them afterward) and I may have been foolhardy enough to try to do all this myself. But I admit that this is a bigger project than I should handle on my own and I will need help to get it done on time (not to mention getting it done right).
Thank you so much for your offers, Teresa is forcing me to face reality and is making sure that we will take you up on them. Especially considering that I have broken my own cardinal rule: never move in/out of a place that you have to go up and down stairs. We decided to buy a new washer/dryer set from the home studio (very decent prices actually) because although ours may be old and ready to fail, the main reason was that we won’t have to move them up those damn steps! Another thing I came to realize; you never notice how much you use a (open bed) pickup until you don’t have one. The H8mobile may have been ugly and even small, but I would have been able to handle a lot of upcoming “ugly furniture goes to storage” trips by myself.
I am still out here in Pensacola this week but I am hoping to get home this weekend and start a plan about how to kick this house’s ass. I still feel weird accepting help because something down in me tells me I should be able to do this without inconveniencing my friends. But as you have pointed out, I’d be a worse friend if I didn’t…
Thanks again.
