Gearing up for Move In Phase 1!

Since the scope of the renovation project is going to take a few months our plan is to move into the basement of the new house while we work on finishing the rest of it.  That will expedite the selling process of our existing home.  We have been working toward this by cleaning out the basement and installing a new floor down there.  The basement was already finished but needed some work, primarily cleaning, before we could stay down there temporarily, max of two months hopefully!  I have been cleaning and cleaning to the point that I have inadvertently given myself a chemical peel I think!  I have been using a clorox/water solution to clean the mildew and trace mold from the walls, doors, door frames, baseboards etc.  To be extra safe I even had a mask and goggles on and had proper ventilation, but still my face feels tight like when you have a sunburn and it’s slightly red.  Hopefully this will go back to normal soon…..please….  The main reason we needed to get a new house was that we’d outgrown our current one to the point that we have two storage units, full, down the road.  We are going to move the storage units contents this weekend.  Some of our friends have graciously agreed to help us get that stuff over to the new house.  Hopefully by the next weekend we will move over our few necessities that we’ll have while we ‘camp out’ in the basement.
