Email to Joe Thursday August 6, 2015

Hey,

  Move Day begins Monday between 830am and 930am. I'm 98% moved already. The only items 2 MEN will take are the bed and headboard, the leather chair, the kitchen table, and the washer and dryer. My weight set and bench I will take later, and I think I might have them move the Nordic Track unit. I'm going to call the city later today and find out what I can do with that damn recliner. I don't think it qualifies as 'salvageable' so Goodwill and Habitat won't touch it, so what do you do? No wonder the city has a problem with 'fly dumping'.

   Ernie is going to paint the downstairs of the condo beginning Tuesday. Just the kitchen (powder room is OK) and living room over to the staircase wall. The upstairs bedroom walls are in reasonable shape, however the carpet in the second bedroom doorway is noticeably flawed. And, the cassette racks and book shelves downstairs came off the wall without any trouble, and the holes in that area can be covered with white grout. The 'popcorn' surface should work to my advantage.

    Today I'm going to finish moving the basement area (several hundred vinyl records) and removing everything from the closets (upstairs and downstairs) and pantry.

    After the movers have finished on Monday I'll transport the TV and PC that remain in the condo. I'll also pull the modem/router and take it to Westview. The tech from ATT arrives on Westview at 9am on Tuesday to hook all my devices into the new wifi, and in my mind, this is when I'm 'officially moved'

   On Tuesday I'll just leave the paint and materials at the condo and tell Ernie where the outside key is located. He said it will probably take him two days. By early afternoon on Tuesday I should be done with the ATT tech, and I'll come back to the condo to vacuum and do some cleaning, and that should be it for the condo preparation.

   I guess we should plan a meeting around Wednesday of next week to make sure that everything is ready and to sign any paperwork. In fact, maybe you could swing by the condo on Tuesday while Ernie is working and see what you think. I'll give you a call Saturday. I hope I'll be done with my part of the move by then.

   So, that's where it stands now.....seeya  kw



Just after I sent the email I heard some activity on the parking lot. The unit that has been vacant for a couple of years was being cleaned out. A group of guys working for a repossession outfit were cleaning out unit #47.  They were there for several hours and even used a power washer. I gave one of the guys my old USA Full Face motorcycle helmet.

I sent an email to Joe saying that I wish that this were not happening and the timing could not be worse, but he feels that my unit would appeal to a more 'upscale buyer' (not his words).

Kinda like a used Porsche going on the market shouldn't have to worry about a used Ford Focus (my hope).
