Signing Off...

[Kvn_Walker]

Tonight was the last night I'm sleeping in this house. I sign the closing papers Tuesday so we have to have this place emptied and clean up pronto.

I saved my room for last since I used the computer every day and would go crazy with no tunes or Netflix.

This was a repurposed hand-me-down curio cabinet. I took the glass door off and it served the purpose. I'm trashing it though... it's flimsy low grade Chinese particle board. I've got something on order and will take pix once I'm back up and running at the rental house.

Yamaha receiver is going back to living room duty as soon as I get the amp situation resolved to replace the Outlaws.

This desk is an abomination. Got it from a thrift store because the last one was falling apart and I needed a replacement ASAP. I have always been paranoid around glass (easily explained by the scar on my right arm that runs from wrist to elbow),so a glass desk top wasn't doing me any favors. And that color!!! It won't be going for the ride either.

I will be replacing it with the Ikea Fredde desk. I've spent hours researching and can't find anything that will suit me better. I won't be installing those hideous ears though. Oh hellllllll no.

 

[Kvn_Walker]

TCD's all packed up and ready to go! I had forgotten just how heavy these beasts are. I didn't have any help last night and it was a struggle to get them prepped. I wasn't about to try getting them into the Sorento by myself. Today I'll have 3 extra guys.

 

[Kvn_Walker]

If you want to guess the least fun thing we will be moving today...

 

[Kvn_Walker]

Double bagged that hideous green glass so no one gets hurt in case there's a slip between here and the dump...

 

[Kvn_Walker]

...and I had to break down the desk to get it out of the room. I "broke it down" all right! I may or may not have had a little fun breaking it down!

 

[Kvn_Walker]

Poor doggies don't know what the hell is going on... so much commotion over the past 2 months. This is the only home they've ever known... it's going to be a hell of a shock when we gather them up tonight and take them to a house they've never seen before!

 

[Kvn_Walker]

You know what I won't miss? Freaking oak trees. They are a scourge. I'm so over it that I'm paying somebody to do the lawn on Monday because "F" these damn leaves. I already told my best half that oak trees in the yard is a deal breaker when we go house shopping again. Ugh!!!

 

[Alex2507]

Nice lavender flip flops.

I'm surprised you held out on your own up until now.

 

[Kvn_Walker]

No, I don't live next to the woods. That's my heroin addict neighbor's back yard. The last time he mowed was 4 or 5 years ago. I got nothin.

I hear ya about the trees. My house is surrounded by maple and oak trees. They're a concern when we have bad windstorms and crows seem to like roosting in the trees above the driveway - so hosing $hit off the vehicles is a regular activity.

But, I love having the trees, so I put up with the problems they present. As for the autumn leaves dropping, I just mulch them with the lawn mower - free fertilizer.

Those are some seriously good speakers. I hope that your final landing spot is a lot bigger space for them, as they could only get better with more room to breathe and a longer listening distance.

If you think Oak trees are bad, try having a big Silver Maple in the front yard, dropping twigs, branches, limbs and seeds EVERYWHERE.

I like trees a lot, but some are a royal PITA. Like the Beech across the street.

 

[William Lemmerhirt]

Lol. Try living with white pines. Oak trees are easy in comparison.

Btw, congratulations on moving on!

 

[Pogre]

Puppies!

 

[KEW]

Moving always sucks, but fortunately it doesn't last long!
Looking forward to seeing the new setup once you get settled!
Take care!

My neighbor across the street has a 100+ year old beech tree. It was condemned over 10 years ago because of rot, having dropped a major limb that ripped power lines down including service to my house that cost $1100 to repair. He's a f'n bum and won't do anything about it.

I have such a small lot that I own zero trees yet have to deal with them from him and my equally lazy and cheap slob to my right.

Be a good neighbor and keep trees healthy and trimmed.

Judging from the review, whatever Outlaw amps he had that apparently are no longer working right, the speakers probably deserve better amps anyhow.

Everything is moved, but the movin ain't done!
