The move begins in earnest.

From our rental apartment to our new flat.
We bought a barrier free place. So while we are moving in the elevator is down for 3 weeks as it get rebuilt after 24 years. Perfect. Fortunately we are paying movers to handle the stuff.
We have ordered most everything new for the kitchen we need.
And will be putting some large appliances up for sale.
PAck, pack, pack.

I’d have a buck & change. It’s never easy.

This will be my 3rd new kitchen install in 10 years.
The reason I'm selling off some appliances is that I'm, upgrading the cooktop and oven to a larger size and the microwave will be a built in. Nothing but fun. I think I know every IKEA kitchen product.
