Time is going by so quickly now. Between work, packing, painting, and working on the outside of our old house we are keeping very busy. And still the requests for paper work keep coming from the mortgage company. Really, you want a paper trail from the deposit from May 17th? Well, I didn't think I would need a copy of my income tax refund check, and, by the way, you have a copy of our 2011 income tax return with the refund amount. Isn't that enough??? No, they want a copy of the check, and documentation of the cash as well and where it came from!!! Can I say how much I hate banks right now?
Packing, packing and more packing. And another pile of boxes of things to donate. But it is finally getting to the fun part where you start to see a difference. My youngest and I stripped wallpaper from the walk-in closet in the master bedroom (long story how it ended up with wallpaper) then I painted that closet and the other one in the master bedroom. Looks so much better. My brain is churning with designs for closet organizers.
The front porch is almost done. We just need to wash the ceiling and see if it needs a touch up paint job. The back porch/breezeway is done as well. Although, we do want to paint the steps there but that won't be done until we move out as they will stay nicer it we aren't using them all the time to go out to the animals.
I am starting to finalize moving plans for the animals. I need a temporary pen for the chickens and realized I can build that where I want to expand the vegetable garden next spring. The chickens will do a nice job digging up all the grass and tilling the soil a little. And the manure they will leave won't hurt either. I am considering leaving my oldest hens at the old house to till up the current vegetable garden once the harvest is over. They already sleep in a different, and smaller, hen house from the other hens and aren't laying many eggs any more. This can be their last job before the stew pot.
Well, off to the bank to get the "paper trail."
