For the most part the closing on our house in Maryland went well and we were able to get on the road and get a few hours of driving in on Wednesday, August 29th. We lucked out with Hurricane Issac and only had about 1 hour of rain with only about 1/2 of that being a hard rain. Actually the worst part of the drive was Waco through Austin. There was a lot of construction and traffic. But we arrived on Saturday, September 1st and visited the rental to ensure that it had been cleaned. It was left in very good condition and we unloaded most of the stuff we brought with us and then checked in to the hotel.
Yes we stayed in a hotel until the movers arrived with our stuff. There was no way I was going to sleep on the floor after having back surgery only 8 weeks ago.
Despite the rental being left in good shape we still gave it a good cleaning from top to bottom. The movers arrived with our stuff as scheduled on Tuesday, September 4th and we were able to sleep in our own bed that night!!
Below are some before and after photos that you might enjoy.
This is the front area of the house. We think it's suppose to be a living room and dining room but obviously it's serving as our workout room.
The rental is a 4 bedroom but we are only using 2 bedroom for our room and a guest room and the other 2 are being used as storage. So here are some pictures of the boxes and extra furniture.
Our other piece of news is we are meeting with the builder tomorrow for our pre-construction meeting.
I'll post pictures of that progress along the way for those that are interested. Thanks for reading!!
