Living in someone else's house


We closed on the sale of the house in Indianapolis today. The date was moved forward from August 1st, and then back a day, but the deed is done, or, to be precise, the deed is in the new buyers' names.

We have a lot of work to do in Indy still. Most of the contents are still there, and we don't have anywhere to move it yet except the new apartment which is small to say the most. I also need to take down some of the large shelving in the greenhouse, dismantle the grandkids' tree fort and take the raised gardens apart to save the stiff sides for the new site.

The buyers have a lot they want to do before they start using the building so no absolute date has been set for us to completely vacate the building. We have set the end of next week as our goal, but I have agreed to pay the utilities through the end of the July.

Here's a picture of what we're moving from:
