The 13 Phases of The Morgan Move...


Being me, nothing is ever simple or straightforward, and moving house is certainly no different.  Most people pack up, move out of one house and then move in to another, simple, straightforward, case open, case closed, with maybe just a hic-up or two along the way, but that's to be expected.   In my case hic-ups are guaranteed.  Seriously, I could complicate the opening of a package.

This, the 13th move in my life, and is really just confirmation that 13 is definitely NOT my lucky number .  There are also 13 phases to this move/s

Phase 1, find Danni a new apartment, and move her in.    X done
Phase 2, Find a new barn close to Danni's new apartment and move the horses in.  X done
Phase 3, Edi comes home and packs up all his belongings and vehicles etc... for either taking back to California, or putting in storage. X done

ready for Edi's third 2500 mile road trip back to California.


Phase 4,  Have a Yard Sale, and clear out all unwanted furniture, and belongings, take unsold items to Goodwill. X done
Phase 5,  Pack up the house, get moving quote and arrange to store unwanted furniture and belongings. X done
Packing up my Art room :(


Phase 6,  Transport the Lotus to Kentucky, where she will remain for the next 2 - 3 years.
Loaded and ready to go!

Phase 7,  Find somewhere for the Sea-Doo, and transport it there.
Phase 8,  Pack up all Horse equipment and take the horse trailer to new Horse Barn in Atlanta.
Phase 9,   Movers arrive, to take all furniture and belongings.
Phase 10, Drive to Atlanta
Phase 11, Movers arrive (2-3 days later) and move us into new house
Phase 12, Ship Horses to New Barn
Phase 13, Celebrate (if still alive) Move/s completed…

We've now moved on to Phase 6, as Steve makes his way down to Kentucky with the Lotus.
Beautiful day for a drive.
