Getting Ready for the Big Move (not what you think)

Tomorrow morning at 8am, my friends Greg and Adrian are showing up at my old house to help me move my woodshop machines to the new house. For those who don't know, I take my woodwork seriously. My planer weighs almost 2000 pounds alone. I rented a tool called a "reach fork" which is a forklift that can move the tangs up and down AND forwards and backwards. So it can reach into the old house, lift the planer, and then take it up the nastly hill to the front yard and lovingly put it in the back of my truck for the 2 block ride to my new house where I will reverse the process. I have 6 machines total that are too heavy to move without machines: Planer, Jointer, Tablesaw, Shaper, Drum Sander, and Bandsaw. We are hoping it will take 4 hours or less.

In addition, my kids are actively helping in removing the parquet flooring in preparation for the concrete polishing.

Jen is still painting. There is a lot of wall to paint, and it ALL needed painting. Many coats. Trim galore. Tali's bedroom door had a doorknob that was smarter than me, and I could not remove it. Finally, I realized we have to cut the door down 1/2 and inch anyways for the carpet, and the door was one of those crappy hollow doors. So I bought a solid door slab, and got the nifty kit to bore the holes. She's priming the wood and will be painting it up.
