CHAPTER TEN .. WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE VILLA???

No new pics of the Villa today .. the days are flying by so fast  Ken and I decided we'd best stop doing so much running around and start getting some stuff done around here .. moving day will be here before we know it!!!   So we have not been to Sawyer's Ridge since I snapped those pictures in the rain Friday!!!  Yesterday we worked in the basement ..  I unloaded all the totes and boxes off the storage shelves because Ken was going to take them apart so they could be moved to the new basement .. I even swept several years worth of dust bunnies and sawdust off those shelves .. then after much fussing and cussing and faunching because taking the screws out that hold the things that hold the shelves together was tearing up the screws and messing up the holes .. sooooooo he finally came to the conclusion it might be best to put the screws he had finally gotten out back and leave the shelves for the new guy!!!  Soooooooo ... all those boxes and totes went back on the shelves until we are ready to move!!!  I also took big white labels and a red marking pen and made labels for all the boxes .. STORAGE AREA, WORK SHOP, OFFICE, KITCHEN .. ETC.  so it will make it easier to know just where each box should go when we do the moving. 

We decided today would be a good day to get everything nailed or screwed to the wall taken down so he could patch and repaint the holes.  Sooooooooo ... down it all comes .. then since we took all those "pretties" down and boxed up  Liz decided she might as well start boxing up all the other "pretties" too .. 

 You noticed the patched nail holes in Raggedy's place, right?????  Taking that stuff down was very traumatic for me .. but it had to be done sometime!!!  I could go ahead and put the stuff that was sitting on the old dresser back in it's place but decided while I had it all down .. pack it away.  So Ann and Andy are all packed up and ready for their journey to the Villa .. except for the one I left hanging on the front of the dresser.  Would you believe I still haven't figured out where I'm going to my Raggedy's in the new place????  However, I assure you, I WILL find a place for them!!! 
 

 Besides the huge mess we .. mostly ME .. have made it's looking pretty weird with absolutely nothing on the walls or the fireplace or the Hoosier Cabinet .  We need to get some bigger boxes before we pack up the stuff on top of the cabinets so we still have a few things to look at .. LOL!!! 

We have a meeting with the builders tomorrow morning to clarify our wants and not-wants .. the meeting is at Sawyer's Ridge so of course I will get new pics .. so .. see ya' tomorrow evening .. LOL!!!
