Sat down with our builder yesterday to get a projected calendar for the renovation completion. Looks like we won't be getting in at the end of November, but actually December 14th is the date he is pretty sure is a solid move in date.
We have to be out of our town house the end of November but our landlord referred me to another unit in this complex that might be available for a couple weeks. Hopefully that will work out instead of going to a hotel. When we moved form Andover I had a choice of using a company that would store our stuff in CT and then move to FL or a company that would move our stuff to storage in FL and then deliver when we were ready. It was about to be hurricane season and by storing it in CT we didn't have to pay for the big part of the expense until we actually took delivery, so we opted to store in CT. With the big scare of a cat 5 category in Florida this hurricane season we were happy to have our stuff safe and sound in CT. Now that we are ready to schedule delivery, I find out that they will only give me a 10 day window starting on the 14th of December. Because we only ended up with 5500 pound we only fill about 25% of a truck and they don't really want to make a trip with just our stuff. So they wait to schedule other jobs going in the same direction. Or we could have our fixed date if we want to pay for the whole truck but the cost would be more than double!! The good news is that they always schedule their people to be home for the holidays, so hopefully they will be able to get our stuff to us close to our date. Either way, we plan to move in on the 14th. We bought new bedroom furniture and bed, have a new dining/kitchen table. Planning on getting a TV stand and a small TV we can use till our big one arrives. I can pick up a couple plastic chairs and we can mange till our stuff arrives. I have my coffee pot and am buying some new cookware for my new induction cooktop. I think we can survive for a few days till our stuff arrives and maybe we will get lucky and it will arrive on time.
