Setting the Timeline

Game plan is to make the move around late June - four months hence. There are roughly eight gazillion jillion details to be navigated. Not a moment to lose; but if we work steadily, it shouldn't be overwhelming.

Gotta get our house prepped and listed. And downsize like 90 percent of our stuff. Good thing our neighborhood has a H-U-G-E standing yard sale every early-June!

Gotta get Mom's house configured for the new arrivals. Besides a little downsizing/cleaning/painting, the biggest job will be finishing part of her basement into a "fully functional man lair" - someplace Husband and/or Grandson can sprawl about on old comfy furniture and play video games, watch hockey, sort sports cards obsessively, and have all their sports memorabilia. Won't take much to finish the basement; it's clean, dry, and squared-up, just needs a little cosmetic work, a couple of outlets and some cable. Boys get their space, Mom gets value added to her house, win-win.

Gotta do a lot of things. I started, this past week, with closets. A few dedicated hours, a big payoff in terms of work done that you can see and that actually helps with the rest.

Trash guys are gonna love us. Got like seven bags of garbage outta those closets. Where's it all come from?!?
