note to self...

Always, ALWAYS, pack all furniture hardware in one box and travel with mentioned box.

JEESH! What an ordeal it has been with a whole lot of hardware missing. Most of the missing stuff was replaced by frequent visits to Home Depot, but when it comes to the girls' bedroom set, what an ordeal!

Their bunk beds use fancy-looking bolts and screws. They can't easily be found-- as a matter of fact, they can NOT be found! The manufacturer (PJ KIDS) is no longer in business and well, it has been a headache. Being that I have quite the intelligent and resourceful husband, he figured out how to fix the situation. Hence, the girls are now finally sleeping in their own bed!

Now, the dining room table hinges... that's for another day...

Moving is not easy by any means. I am happy to report though that the basement is almost there. I have a feeling that by the weekend, it will be operable and habitable! lol

The patio is something I am dreading. It holds all the stuff that was in temporary storage in NY. It is packed! We plan on using the patio as an outdoor living room since it is closed in and screened all around. We will see...
