Empty Rental Truck! 8-21

At about 2:00 p.m. this afternoon we closed the door on the back of the moving truck for the last time!  It is empty and swept out! 

I started my day with a bit of weed whacking and Larry was finishing up valances on the window blinds, then it was back to unloading and putting stuff away.  The stove and dishwasher arrived about 9.  After we moved in the beds Larry worked on getting the stove converted to propane and installed, I unpacked boxes and then we moved in the couch...awkward heavy thing.  By the time we got to the frig Larry was really sore and tired and as he moved towards the opening between the counters it was apparent that the handle/door would have to come off.  We had planned to switch which way the door opened anyhow...but Larry hadn't planned on doing it in the middle of getting it in place.  Then after getting the doors switched, which isn't really hard, just time consuming..he realized he left a bracket behind and then needed to remove the frig door again to get the bracket where it needed to be.  He had finished when I took this picture...he was resting...ha ha ha!  Aren't the floors lovely!!!!

So then somewhere in there we stopped to eat and then it was back to work...Larry got the dishwasher installed and hooked up, I figured out how to attach the table legs to our end tables and the coffee table and just tried to get things put away.  All the kitchen is put away, with lots of room to spare!  It took awhile to get everything unpacked because the people who packed all this stuff did a really good job....us!  Nothing broke or got dinged up except that one little plate so I guess we did pretty well, it was just tedious getting through the tape and unwrapping everything.  Plus we tried to save as much of the packing material as we could...for others or ourselves to reuse.

Before exiting the house for the evening I swept and mopped the floors, it was nice to see them clean.  It is also nice to see appliances in those blank holes in the kitchen finally...looking forward to actually getting to live there and use them all!

It was cooler today with a breeze and these lovely clouds passed through...first clouds we've seen here in a month.
