Down to the Wire
29 February 2008Just about everything is out of the apartment.
Freecyclers have come and taken much furniture, many appliances, and some things too nice to throw away but not fitting into our life or lifestyle. It’s nice to know that things will be used.The garbologists came on Monday and took away two tons of stuff. They will be back today (Friday, 2/29) for another truckload.
We had to change the insurance - we need insurance to replace the renters policy, covering our “worldly goods” and personal liability. The major companies don’t deal with that, so we needed a specialist. Fortunately, Escapees club has several of them as commercial members, so we knew where to go for assistance. We chose to use Miller Insurance in Lake Oswego, OR. Let’s hope we never find out how good the coverage really is 
I remembered to turn off the utilities! We haven’t had traditional phone service for the past few years, but we had to turn off such things as water delivery, Tivo, cable TV/Internet, and of course, power. It’s fun to tell the service reps that we won’t need them at a “new location” at all. This is a good time to remember the old adage that, “whatever plugs in, plugs out.”
By the end of the day, we just have to drop the keys and gate remotes off with the on-site manager, and we are out. What a relief.
