An Update on the Palace

 I've been busy and/or too tired to post so here's a short update as we're done working today having moved the 450-pound gun safe to our new home. That took a lot of effort with a hand truck and a 2 x 6 for leverage, prying it over door jambs and onto the trailer to move it here. But now that monster is in the workshop, and it isn't going anywhere else.

I finished putting the knobs and pulls on the kitchen cabinets over a week ago. Had to order one more pull for the trash pullout, we seemed to miss that one in the original order. I still have to install that and one knob on the cabinet door I currently have sitting on the floor with heavy boxes on top trying to take a curve out of it. If that doesn't work, they'll have to get me a new door.

Hal's sister also brought up 2 lamps she picked up for me at a resale shop. They're Stiffel and I thought they would go great in my bedroom. They do, I just need to get Hal to help move the dresser again to plug them in and put up my mirror.

We've been spending a lot of time moving boxes out of the farm. The pole barn no longer has any of our things, nor does the farmhouse. I started cleaning carpets there today till Hal needed me on safe removal. All that's left now is the giant mahogany entertainment center in the bunkhouse which we plan to move in the next couple of days, and a few large outdoor flowerpots. The garage at the Palace is now stuffed with boxes that need to be dealt with but it feels good to be about done with renting!
