It’s been a little over a year since we closed on the property that has become Livin’ The 10 Farnch. We closed on Thursday, February 25, 2016. Closing set in motion a whirlwind of activity, and it seems like it hasn’t slowed down much since then.
I remember picking up the keys from the realtor in Seguin that afternoon, and then going and “bug bombing” the house while Melissa and the kids packed up the popup. The next day, we took a small caravan of stuff out to the property, and – literally – setup camp. We slept in the pop up for several weeks while we were working on the early 1980’s double-wide. Once we got the walls re-textured and painted, and enough of the flooring done, we starting moving stuff.
Movers took care of the piano and furniture, and we moved a lot of the little things ourselves. Overall, it took us a little over a month to get moved out to the property, and another month to get the old place spruced up to sell. After all that going back-and-forth, it was good to “settle down” out in the country.
