Returning Home

43

Today is the day we go pick up the keys babe. My parents said they would meet us there.

My wife and I took off in separate vehicles to the realtors office after I loaded up in my truck the items for our garages. I asked my mother in law to drive my car and my cousin Izzy to come by this morning to get out two other vehicles. Uncle Tommy said he would move whatever else he had too from the house in his truck and my auntie Drew would meet us there. We asked my father in law to wait for my uncle Tommy to come to get our packed items. My wife and I woke up early to have breakfast and to pack up everything in the bedroom except for clothes in our carry on suitcases. Carlo called me this morning to tell me he, my uncles Frankie's and Frosty , Shawn and Jason would be here at 8 to load up my safe and our gun equipment in my uncles truck and would wait fit us to arrive at 9:00. They would leave after they unloaded the stuff but Jason said hid wife Samantha would be there to help us paint.

The men showed up to get the safe. My uncle Frankie said he would help load up the safe in Carlo's pick up and than he had to leave so he wasn't late for work but Paul said he would help the men unload it and stay to help paint. My father in law would drive the jeep.

The men are still loading up when my wife and I leave in our Mercedes and truck to pick up the keys.

Good morning Beth. Morning ladies. The sellers also decided to leave the furniture and BBQ too for you in the backyard. Wow, please tell them thank you. Beth I have a gag gift for you. I have several also for my family and friends too. Dorothy had these made up. Three is actual oil in them too.

Dorothy hands it to her. She starts laughing and puts it on her desk .

Dorothy is this something you did the graphics on? Yes in time for the holidays. Thank you. My husband will love it.

We leave for the house. We arrive and our morning crew is there.

We open the garages so my inlaws and us can park in the garages.
I open the house for the men too bring the gun safe, gum equipment and our other belongings. We start unloading through vehicles while my wife and Samantha bring in the paint supplies . I tell them where I want the safe and than leave to help setting up the garages which didn't take long.

Shawn installed the gun safes and fire extinguishers in the garages for us.

The closets didn't have to be painted so our clothes could be put away in our closet.

Babe my mother and I will hang up our clothes in the closets while you get the paint in each room so everyone knows what colors to be painted and you can tell them. Please don't over do it. I will make sure. Thanks Maria.

Okay everyone I am unloading the paint to go in each room with instructions what is being painted what. Shawn since you and Paul know how to do the concrete floor in the fitness room you two will use these colors but the two darker colors for the floor. Before you leave today please get a quart of oil as a thank you present. They will be in the backyard. This was a graphic that Dorothy did. The oil is real to use and does have a faint aroma of such.

It took me with the help of Shawn, Jason and Paul.

The others were bring our belongings in.

I started explaining what I wanted done. I left to get the cleaning supplies for the pantry and cupboards .

Everyone else who wasn't given a specific job to do started prepping the walls to be prepped and painted along with the ceilings.

Babe I called the lock Smith and alarm company to change the locks, install the alarm and cameras. They should be here shortly.

I continued to clean. I looked outside My wife and mother in law started a fire to keep warm while they rested before they helped to paint.
