That is my opinion of packing after 35 years. I do not like it. Actually I could use more colorful words but I would probably get thrown out of here. 
Even with all my de-stashing, I have been working on one soap supply storage cabinet for 2 days, this is craziness and I still do not have the cabinet packed up. This does not include the cabinet and rack on the service porch, and who wanted to sell their house. How stupid that was... Oh yeah, my hubby mentioned keeping it to two boxes, yeah right, as if that is going to happen. We will not even talk about the huge tote of fo's that I am not moving and taking to hazard, I just cannot go another round of destashing.
After the soaping supplies, I have to get started on the reptile supplies, wait until he sees the 3 new tanks to move. At least they are not planted yet, so I guess that is a plus. They will be planted by the time my move comes to Winnemucca at the end of the year. At least I hope by the end of the year.
Two months to finish up the house of my moms, the house she evicted my kids out of, and get moved down there now the handyman we hired is suing us, how fun. Wonder what mom and sister are going to think when I move in.
In 3 weeks he did not get 1 room painted and expected us to pay him $2300.00 to leave when we fired him. He was charging $2400.00 to clean out the house dispose of the stuff left in the house and paint. Two days into the 3rd week he had moved everything to the backyard, edged around the walls, and never sanded down the shine on the woodwork. After we spoke to him he did strip 3 doors after Tony and I worked down there for 3 days. I offered him a check for the hrs I estimated he worked, he had $300.00 cash when he started which he would not take. Apparently, he does not realize under contractors' law if you are unlicensed you can only charge $500.00. He tried to get my daughter to get us to give him the $2300.00 or he would sue us, she advised him I have a really good attorney and he better have a handyman's license if he wants to go up against me, which he told her he did not believe. My son-in-law holds a contractor's license which we had for our former business. We shall see how this turns out. My new man has done more in 3 days.
