Tanktimus the Encourager Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 As the title and the tags indicate, we are now homeowners! Closing will be on Thursday, June 27th. Week 1 of the challenge will be finalizing packing and getting some things set up at the new place (buying a fridge [probably from the scratch and dent place], installing blinds, putting Toilet paper and hand soap in all the bathrooms). Week 2 I am taking off from work for the move. July 8th, moving day, will also be our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. Tell the truth, how many of you got a house for an Anniversary present? We are hiring movers because we are too old and make too much money to ask our friends for help. The rest of that week will be unpacking and setting things up, as well as cleaning the old apartment and turning in the keys. Weeks 3 and four will be continuing to unpack and filling out myriad change of address forms. At some point, we will be eating and I will hopefully get some workouts in. 24 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment

There’s this satisfying “oh yeah, I’m awesome” checkpoint in life when you hire someone to move all the stuff. Then you can invite all your friends for pizza and beer after and relish in the not lifting a giant bed up the stairs. Congratulations, friend! 3 Quote Link to comment
