Unpacking


After four days of unpacking boxes we are starting to whittle through the overwhelming amount of packing paper. Rita and Elizabeth helped by crushing down the huge paper pile before we hauled it out to the dumpster. This was one of several we have removed. It was amazing the amount of paper the moving company used. Above Rita is resting on the smashed down stack of paper. The following photo is of the nice big empty clean spot in the room after the pile was removed and several boxes emptied.
I took this photo of the last box of kitchen items to be emptied, a mile stone for me. I was so glad to finally reach this box. Elizabeth was a huge help unpacking boxes while I organized drawers and shelves over and over again until I got them just right. Before we moved in Steve had covered all the wood floors in rolls of corrugated paper. We have started to remove the paper little by little in each room, dust and mop the floors then set furniture in place. The room which looks the best is Elizabeth's bedroom, she has it fixed up really nice. She removed the paper off her floor the first day which looks neat and clean.
The office presently looks like a tornado went through this room. Our project for tomorrow is organizing this space.
