Ick. This is going to be hard. Yesterday, I spent 2 hours on ONE room! I removed all the 'crap', except Jonah's toys, and the furniture from ONE room!!! I am going to do it one room at a time, and by NEXT Monday, at 8 am when the movers show up, I will be all moved out.

When Jonah came inside (I had my mother's helper watch him outside) and saw all the 'crap' gone, he got a bit distressed at the sight. We took all the rugs to the rug doctor Saturday am...and they will be cleaned, deodorized, fringe removed, tiny repairs made, and returned to me with new pads- HOPEFULLY by the time the floors are done.

I will NEED my vacation in July just to recover from the floor trauma.

Hard as it is, Johanna, you will be so glad you decided to move out to have it done. When I bought my house, I did the "double" thing, paying rent on one house, while having the new house painted and the floors completely refinished. Of course, that didn't include the kitchen, so Helen and I had to live with the dust and mess when they installed the oak floors in there. Lots of plastic sheeting over the doorways and lots of meals "out", we finally got our beautiful hardwood floor in the kitchen.

Good luck!
