lord_kjar's father and brother arrived at our apartment early Friday morning we managed to pack everything into boxes and dissemble such shelves and cabinets as were better taken apart before moving (the huge metal tool cabinet had to be taken apart--it won't go through that door when assembled--we had to take it apart to get it into that room in the first place). As a result of all of our prep work, and the fact that we had already moved over and unpacked all of the kitchen stuff the rest of the move yesterday went very smoothly and quickly.
The trailer his brother has is huge. This is a good thing--we were able to bring everything over in four trip. One trip of just stuff to the basement, two of just stuff for upstairs, and the final, smaller, trip with boxes for upstairs and furniture for downstairs. When they went back for that last load I stayed home and turned the morning's bread sponge into bread dough and prepped pizza toppings. By the time they got back everything was ready and the pizza stone was hot.
However, the first pizza took longer to bake than I expected (but we were still eating by 16:00), and the cheese on top was browning before the crust was perfectly baked. Therefore before putting in the second pizza I switched the setting on the oven from plain heat to fan supported heat, and as a result the second pizza baked properly. Must remember that in the future. I should probably also have used the fan when I baked the pound cake on Thursday, since it took more than a full hour to bake, and even then the middle still had some undercooked bits. Useful information about the new oven.
After his family went home we spent the rest of the evening happily trying to do everything at once--a little assembly of shelves, a few things put away--back and forth in a lovely, fun, scattered evening.
Today we have walked to the bottom of the property (in the rain! What happened to all of yesterday's lovely clear, cold, snow?) and measured a few things in prep for heading out. Now it is time to go to a store and buy some wood to build a headboard for the bed and a few other odds and ends...
