Personalities come through with the pressure of a move. C’s full of dread and terror accompanied by my optimism. For awhile, anyway. The morning started with dropping him off at storage to get things organized for the movers.
Can you imagine, this was the third time in twenty months that we’ve hired movers. First from the rain forest to our new community in White Rock, then moving our stuff into storage in time for our renovation. Now, eleven months later, back into the house.
I was feeling fine until the movers called in late and I realized Mr. C was without his phone. That’s when my panic set in, compounded by an army of last minute house workers taking up space that the movers required.
This story follows the formula for a screenplay. The set up and conflict part anyway. We’ll see how the resolution goes. You’ve read the set up. Now for the conflict: Although we had permission to move our household goods in, we are not permitted to stay in our almost totally renovated home. You see, based on a small gutter/drainage issue over two 18” side entry overhangs, and one misfitting glass deck panel, our house failed final inspection.
We weren’t going to let that set us back move-in wise, considering daughter M and KC came to help us from Calgary. All our stuff is in the house, hardly any of it unpacked, and as far as living there, we're on hold.
Here are the latest before and after pictures.
Can't believe it's the same house. I'm anxious to have it all done. I bet you are, too. And for those who are in the betting pool, April is now out, May and beyond are still possibilities. Dennis L, you still have a chance for June!
