Offhand Manor has fallen! Long Live Offhand Manor!

Kirsten called earlier, we have been approved for a place we both loved, a triplex in Santa Clara. YAY!

Now comes the fun part. We're moving. The plan is simple:

Saturday, July 31st is Final Packing Day. Everything is either in a box or out the door to Goodwill or the dumpster. We could use some help here.

Sunday, August 1st is Moving Day. We'll have at least two, maybe three large vehicles to move things between our current place and the new place. What we really need is people to help move things. We have some furniture that needs to be moved down one flight of exterior stairs, and into the new place.

Helping for an hour or two would be great. Anyone who helps out for the day will be treated to food.

Even if I were local to you, I'd not be able to be much help. (Though on the receiving end, I'm good at organizing things like books or CDs...)

And I know I said "yay" earlier, but I want to say it again; I'm so pleased for you guys. Moving itself is hell, but moving from a less-than-good place, and moving to and settling into something better? Priceless. ('s what I did, not-quite four years ago.)

Erased the other comment, then thought more about it and now I'm all confused.

Approximate start times please - my partner can be an early bird, I am not, your schedule is what matters.

Also, do you need tape?

If I were there, I'd be over to help. Since I'm not: I hope it all goes well.
