I met with the movers today in order to get an estimate, and heard from the mortgage company that they are now awaiting the appraisal and we will be at closing around November 10.  I may keep the date of the 24th as the actual  moving date as I will be off work that day through the Thanksgiving weekend.  It is important for me to get out of this house as soon as possible so that the flooring company can install new carpeting through the three bedrooms.  Hopefully, that new look will help sell the house FAST.  The thought of two house payments per month can get me close to panic!

As we move belongings, pieces that I want to use in my future store will go in the downstairs rooms and my actually living pieces will be placed upstairs.  The good part of this will be that from the beginning I will be able to put things in place so that I will have a better idea of what and how much I will need to acquire to ultimately display my beautiful merchandise in the best manner possible.

One of the first orders of business will be to fill out the appropriate forms and get on the zoning commission's agenda to see if the city will consider my request for rezoning of the property to a commercial status.  If we can get that done early, that will be a big load off my mind!
