Herding Cats


I ran by the house this morning. It is February 1, 2010, the day we take legal possession. We exchange keys tonight at 5 PM. I was going to run up to the front windows and see how the family room and library look like emptied of her Barbie collection.

But two red moving trucks were blocking my way. She is still not moved out.

Carrie points out that if they are still moving her out there is little chance she will sweep, mop, disinfect the house, but we agree it would make little difference. The only way to get the smell out is to repaint every wall and refinish all of the floors, so who cares if it is a little dusty.

It would be nice if she at least wipes the mold out of the refrigerator (or throws it away herself so that we don't have to).

  1. Hi, Keith,
    I'm exceedingly excited about the blog...and the house, sans "awesome" as you describe it all. Can't wait to see how movers clean out a house like that, or if it's even possible.
    Do you think any kitties will stick around?

  2. My husband and I bought an old smelly house previously owned by a crazy cat lady about a year and a half ago. The similarities between yours and ours is almost scary.
