Down sizing in progress. D-Day IS D-day; we move 6/6. Current digs measure 13'x19' and 9'x10,' or 337 square feet including 2 large closets and kitchen cabinets. New digs are 9' 9" x 10' 7," with a small closet of 27" x 48" or so, for a total of about 112 square feet, or about 1/3 the space. We hope to turn this tiny space into a tiny half bath someday. There is a large closet off the hall way by the landing where most of my re-enacting uniforms and equipment will go. The smaller second bedroom will be gated off, and the rabbits will have the run of the second floor. Floors have been sanded, and the clear seal-coating should have been done today, with it being dry by TH. I've stripped the two upper rooms of wallpaper down to the horse hair plaster, and some of the rest of the house. Skim coats and paint to follow by professionals.
I'll have the antique rifles on the wall, and hope the rest can fit into my 18 and 10 gun, and pistol box Stack on Cabinets. I'll be losing my beloved roll top desk to a friend as it won't get into the house, and replacing it with an 1850 cylinder desk measuring 37"x42x22/31" (desktop). I'll also put my gate-leg table up there as a well; not sure which will be which, but the cylinder desk was my desk in high school.
More to follow.
