A very full week of pre-move-in house maintenance

We closed on Friday.

Sunday we finished our diagrams of where to put our furniture.  Pool cleaner and gardener were set up.

Monday the roof was fixed.  Sprinklers were fixed. Tree-trimming completed.  We picked laminate for the bedrooms.  The house was cleaned.  Trip to Goodwill.  FPL and water/sewage was changed to our name.

Tuesday was more house cleaning.  Went to paint store, picked swatches, got paint quote.  Laminate person came to give us an estimate.  Mold inspector.  High impact windows estimate.  Info sent over to city for pool screen.

Wednesday was mold remediation.  A/C fixed.  Bedroom floors were ripped out and laminate put in.  Estimates for front yard fence.  Took out all shelving from closets.  Minor crisis when they pulled up the carpets for the laminate and found what we thought was evidence of termites; called inspector, called termite people, turned out to be red ants, called pest control.

Thursday more laminate.  Mold remediation finished.  Shelving attached to garage walls.  Pest control sprayed outside of entire house.  Bought more paint.  Permits for the screen was submitted to the city.

Friday the laminate was finished.  The mold remediation meant that we had to do more painting than we intended, so we picked even more paint.  Chose hot water heater. Cleaned out air conditioning ducts and air conditioner, got new filters, installed UV light.

Tomorrow, Saturday, they should continue painting.  Follow up on A/C issues.  Pick up the water heater.  Schedule connection of internet at new house.

The plan for Sunday: Finish painting. Purchase replacement flood lights on outside of house. And breathe, since no other vendors work then.

Monday: Pack.
Tuesday: Move.
Wednesday:  Install attic ladder and drain pipe for the A/C.  Plumber to fix spigot and install new water heater.  Electrician to unattach electric car charger from old house and put in new house, ground pool motor, install new flood lights.
Thursday: Go to high impact window showroom.
Friday: Remove ceiling/light fixtures from old house and put in new.

And in four weeks when the city approve our permits: put in screen and add gutters to roof.  Put in fence.  Change all windows and doors to high impact.

And then we'll be DONE!

The moral of the story is: Thank God Jonathan is good at project management.
