Looks Like We're Moving...

...but we aren't.  We just had to pack up virtually everything we own, other than clothes and basic essentials.  The floors are being ripped up so that we can have the foundation fixed.  For those of you who have not lived in Texas, the soil down here likes to shift fairly regularly, which is why we don't have basements (sorry PeeWee.)  Foundation adjustments aren't so bad if you have a pier and beam house, they'll go under the house and jack it up as needed.  Unfortunately, we have a slab foundation - which means they have to jack hammer through the slab to install piers either at the perimeter of the foundation, or on the interior of the house.  So, for right now, we have a very empty house.

We took our bed apart so there was room to move around, and placed a sheet in front of our doorless closet to protect some against dust.

We did leave some of the larger toys out

Closet floor


Hall bath - excited to be rid of that tile!

Master bath - excited to be rid of all that grout (it should be white)

Ignore the shower door - we're doing a thorough cleaning of the house after the floor is installed

Office completely cleaned out

Office clost

Family room (Milo's in the chair)

Dining Room

Hallway

Entryway/ Dining Room

Piano and breakfast bar

Bare china cabinet

Bare kitchen cabinets

So where did all all of our stuff go?  Well, into our lovely new, formerly well organized, shed.



Note the door frame to the left in the picture above.  There is just enough room to step inside, and close the door.


Hopefully the next few days go smoothly and the floors are taken out without issue, then the foundation piers are adjusted, and the floor can go back in next week.

Thanks for reading!
