I might be a bit overwhelmed now

Talked to the builder this morning, and we are looking at next friday or Monday as a move in date. So, I have to finalize a zillion things, pack crap, clean crap, wax all the floors with 3-5 coats ( to safeguard the sealer) and a bajillion other things to do. AND I still have no furniture....or money,.....LOL

Oh but that is still great news! I am so happy for you. I would have probably given up and divorced my entire family by now.

What are you going to do about furniture? Do you at least have stuff picked out?

If I lived anywhere nearby I would be there in a flash to help
Atleast you have something to look forward to amidst all the chaos...

Well, we bought stove, dishwasher, and frig on Saturday, got great deals. Just under $1700 for all 3( gas stove are $$$$)
We have furniture livingroom furniture picked out just in case. Some friends offered/gave us their BRAND NEW couch and love seat, but now they are getting divorced, so not sure if we will still get it. I have coffee and end tables, antiques I bought from a friend.
We still need beds, mattresses, lamps, small appliances etc....sheets, curtains, a million other things.

Oh congrats on the news. I hate to move. When I moved in this house from my apartment (it was my moms house, she moved into my grandma's house, and my brother moved into my apartment..confusing) I had to work, but all this was done in one day. I never was so thankful to be working a day in my life. By the time I got home from work, everything was moved, just not organized.

The moving does not scare me, I a a Navy brat, i can move an entire house in one day. It's the other stuff....the crap that costs a fortune

I know, I can't fathom how much it would cost to replace furniture. I need to get a new stove, but have been putting it off because they are so expensive. We have a paper around here that is just for people selling things, yard sales, autos, guns etc. I seen an almost new stove in it and it was very nicely priced. When I called about it, it had already been sold, my luck. I love to look in that paper, sometimes you can find some great deals.

Good luck on settling in. I don't envy you at all. It will be so great on 3-4 days though.

Congrats! It will be great for you to be in an actual house again!
