Don't I know it!
The closing has been confirmed for Wednesday June 16 - wow, < 1 month away! Well have to be moved out on Tuesday and will pay to store our stuff overnight in the truck (so that they can do the walk-through). We have yet to figure out what times the walk throughs and closings will be, and where we'll put ourselves, Max, Batty and Praline on Tuesday night. We could stay in the house (sleep on a mattress on the floor and throw it in the truck the next morning), but would need to be at the Cambridge Registry of deeds at most likely 8:00 AM and would need to get our pets out of the house and somewhere safe before then. Ah well - these are easy things to worry about.
Brian is calling the movers today to have them come out to our house and give a concrete estimate. They are going to guarantee the price, and are estimating (with the over the phone item inventory) that it will take 2.5 hours to load, 1/2 an hour to get to Waltham, and 2.5 hours to unload.
Packing, packing, packing! All we'll be doing is packing from now until then!
Rennies! I have a chemise made of dark purple cotton that's got lilac colored lace sleeves - interested? Its free - I never wear it.

Chemise
Date: 2004-05-18 05:36 am (UTC)Awesome! I was thinking of you actually when I posted. If I didn't find someone to take it it would be going to Salvation Army (which is such a waste). I also have a brocade rennie type pouch that I never use (its green w/ green/burgandy/other color brocade). I'll show you that too.
So, whats the best time to get it to you? Its been forever since we've hung out!

Date: 2004-05-18 08:06 am (UTC)Also, if you have any other rennie stuff that you're just going to give away, I'll look it over as well.
Re: Chemise
Date: 2004-05-18 08:23 am (UTC)I'm at a meeting for work in Wellesley till 8:30, so my guess is that I'll be home at around 8:30. If you want to come over around then its cool with me. If I'm not home, Brian should be there to let you in. Unfortunately the stuff is in the trunk of my car, so you'd need to wait till I got there to see it :)
Just let me know either way!

Date: 2004-05-18 08:44 am (UTC)That's fine - if you want to come closer to 8:30 that's fine too . . . I'll just have to shoot up rt 9 from my meeting which gets over at 8, so it shouldn't take me long to get back :)
Re: Chemise
Date: 2004-05-18 09:04 am (UTC)That's even better...so I'll see you around 8:30 =)

Date: 2004-05-18 05:45 am (UTC)Thanks for the offer! I think we're going to take Tammy and Nhan up on their offer since they have a bit more space, and we'd be able to leave both cars there overnight, and since its midweek and Tammy works from home it wouldn't interfere with her schedule at all.
As for truck storage - that's what we're going to pay the moving company for :)

June 15
Date: 2004-05-18 05:43 am (UTC)Well, we'd need to stay somewhere on the eve of the 15th where Max and the buns could hang out until mid-afternoon on the 16th (closing day - i.e. after we closed, got to Waltham, got stuff moved in and had the place safe to let the cat run around in). The original plan was to close in Cambridge at 10:00, so my guess is that the movers would start loading in at around 11:30-12:00 and would be done at around 2:00-3:00. So, feel free to say no now, given the need to have Max somewhere safe during the closing/moving process . . . I'd feel bad about your kitties staying locked up for so long.
If it *is* OK, we could have a fun sleepover! The buns would be in a cage so they'd be easy :)
Thank you so much! I'm nervous about staying with my family because truthfully, I wouldn't trust them to keep Max in a room separate from the other cats. One of them would go in to play with Max (who would be nuts from being locked in a room) and one of the other cats would bolt in or something.

Date: 2004-05-18 05:52 am (UTC)The only caveat is that we leave for Minneapolis that Friday the 18th, but you guys are welcome to have a key to our house if you need to stay another night. And no worries - in the summer when it gets really hot, we used to lock the kitties in the top floor anyway. Snot a problem! They lay on the bed all day anyway. :)
Re: June 15
Date: 2004-05-18 06:03 am (UTC)Nope, just overnight on the 15th (and leaving them there while we're closing/moving for a few hours on the 16th). That's it. Thanks! Let's call it a date :)

Awesome! Thank you so much :)
