18,000 Pounds and Some Good News

Today a lady from the moving company came by to do an estimate of our stuff. We are allowed to have up 18,000 pounds moved free of charge. Beyond 18,000, we will have to pay some hefty fees {or move the extra ourselves.}

It is just the two of us in a 1,800 square foot house, but we do have quite a bit of stuff. Thanks to all of the tools we have accumulated, our total weight estimate comes in at 15,000 pounds. We won't know the true total until moving day, but the estimator said that she normally shoots a bit high and is generally within 1,000 pounds. Let's hope so.

Now for the good news... Daniel talked to TVA today and it looks like there is a really good possibility (95% chance if you are into statistics) that he won't have to start work until February 15. Thank you God for that!!! We were both starting to get overwhelmed with the idea of Daniel leaving so soon. An extra two weeks means we should be able to accomplish everything on the house and have some overlap time of him being here while the house is on the market.
