I called all the utility companies this morning to cancel, turn off, and remove meters from the old house!
Last week Nathan, Keith & Terese started packing up the shop items that were in the house. Nathan moved his office to our rental property (can you say: "squished like sardines, we are!"). Tools & lumber & kitchen items & doors and everything else have been/are being removed and reorganized in other areas. We left our kitchen in the old house to serve as Nathan's 'break room'. He was having breakfast, lunch & other breaks over there. Fridge is cleaned out and hopefully will find a new home. Water heater was removed (and water turned off).
Once we have confirmation from all utilities that we are all turned off, the demolition will begin!
We haven't had any luck with finding someone to come take the house and salvage the clear lumber, copper wires, etc. We are at a good point to get this done. Having the building demo'd now means we don't have to get our bond extended for the city requirements. That will save us some money! We can also start getting our utilities hooked up to the new hosue. Plumbing leaving the house is close to completion and wiring is set to begin soon. We're putting calls out to contractors to get a bid on them removing it and bids on the rental equipment to get it done ourselves.
I'll let all my kiddo friends know when this is happening as we all know the kids LOVE a good show with heavy machinery!

| A funny side note: While cleaning yesterday, Nathan came across a handmade tool box he did in Middle School. We were laughing because on the bottom it says: Nathan Blanding B+ He didn't get an A on that project because it wasn't square (I didn't this see this issue!) BUT anyway, it made us laugh. Fun to get a picture of his B+ project while standing in front of an A project : ) |
