Here is what I have accomplished thus far:
- Solidify a moving company and schedule our moving dates.
- Schedule the POD delivery.
- Schedule and pay the City for street permit for POD. (Actually I decided the POD could be placed in the driveway to save curb space for the moving truck, so we can avoid the permit fee now.)
- Furniture layouts for all the rooms in the house.
- Create signs labeling each room which contains a list of all the furniture to be placed in that room as well as other larger items that won't be boxed up.
- Notify diaper service of change of address and schedule delivery date at new house
- Schedule an exterminator to come treat the new house for ants and ladybugs.
- Get ball rolling with the phone company for change in service and verify that we can keep our existing phone number.
Here's what remains on my list:
- Print out signs labeling each room as well as a furniture diagram for each room.
- Put together a Moving Day master checklist on a clipboard.
- Transplant the Irene Watts rose.
- Switch out my little shabby chic white metal switch plate cover in the main floor bath with a standard one.
- Remove the childproof latches in the kitchen cabinets for use in new house.
- Remove the 'No Solicitors' and 'Cead Mile Failte' signs from front gate and exterior of house.
- Provide US Post Service with change of address.
- Coordinate change of service with waste management company.
- Coordinate change of service with electric company.
- Coordinate change of service with water company.
- Cancel service with natural gas company.
- Set up an account with oil company.
- Organize the paint and misc. trim, etc. in the basement for the new owners.
- Schedule a Day for my Uncle M to help move the stained glass windows and use my dad's truck and glass rack to accomplish it.
- Put together a box of things we'll need right when we move in like TP, rags for cleaning/dusting, glass cleaner, surface cleaner, light bulbs, vacuum bags.
- Finish packing!!!!
- Clean the house after we move out.
- Consider buying move baby gates.
- Buy new owners a bottle of champagne to leave in the fridge?
- Buy myself a housewarming present of new Portland style ceramic tile house numbers!
Not too bad, but considering I'll be leaving tomorrow to go see my Godsons make their First Communion, I might be cutting this all kind of close.
