Phase 1 completed

So I've split moving into 4 Phases.


Phase 1: Get all pets and myself to new house.

Phase2: Finish physical move into knew storage container.

Phase 3: Have horses shipped up and all fencing/shelter finished.

Phase 4: House SOLD!


So far I have completed Phase 1 and Phase two is nearly complete. I moved all the small critters, kitties, snakes, etc. on Monday April 21st, then on Friday the 25th, I moved up myself and the dogs. So basically everything I need to live, clothes, laptop, etc. is here. I have spent the last two weeks, preparing our storage container, and packing up stuff at the house. We are about 85% packed. This coming friday May 2nd, my husband will be home (he's a OTR Truck driver), and we are going to finish Phase 2. Which means we need to load up whatever is in our current storage container (not much thank gawd, after I've brought 6 truckloads to the dump!!!) and load whatever is left in the house (mostly furniture), and bring it up here to unload it all in the new storage container.


The farm I'm living on is my fathers (also a OTR Truck driver), he's home currently but should be heading out soon. Which will be good, because that means that i'll be at the house pretty much by myself. My grandfather does live here too. We are taking a few weeks to decide if I either want to A: build a new house a few fields over, or B: buy the house I grew up in. I really sorta want to build :) so I can be close by. Especially because the horses will remain here, even if I do buy the house I grew up in.


Phase 3 will be completed in a couple of weeks. Yesterday Dew, my grandfather and myself put up the first paddock, when dew gets back on wed/thurs we will put up the second paddock, and attach the electric wires.

Here is a picture of the first paddock. The next one will be sorta right next door, but back a little bit. I am stressing a bit on making sure everything is ready, but I'm sure everything will be fine.

And of course Phase 4....just as soon as someone wants to buy our stupid place. We *need* to get rid of it. I hate it there, and it sucks! It would make a great refinishing project.

Sid and bramble had to christian the move by full on attacking each other in the field! Stupid basenji's...they are doing well though, limping a little bit, but have greatly improved since friday. Dumbasses. But they seem to have resolved their differences.
