Well this was certainly a very busy long weekend.  We listed our property in Belleville for sale (haven’t used it much frankly) but since it wasn’t getting any traction we decided to rent it out a few weeks ago.  Well we’ve selected a tenant and needed to clear the house out of our stuff so Saturday Brandon and I went over to move a car load of the fragile stuff in my Lexus RX, then in the afternoon we went to chase Comet A3 and drove up north but it was cloudy unfortunately.  That’s alright it’ll be around for the rest of the month and with night vision, we can see it after it becomes too dark for us to see with our eyes.

Sunday I rented a 15′ U-Haul truck and packed up the rest of the house to lug back to our home.  I was initially worried it would be small but we were able to pack up everything into the truck and to tie things down I brought 10 strands of 10′ paracord which worked really well!  The drive back was an experience, the truck is super floaty and drove poorly even though it’s pretty new but I guess it’s a work truck not a luxury vehicle after all.

A funny note, the U-Haul truck was equipped with manual crank windows and on the way home I asked Brandon to open his window a bit, he didn’t really know how to operate the crank, I could see him push it down and he made an audible “OH!” after he figured it out lol.  I guess kids these days are all use to power windows and most probably haven’t seen manual cranks.

It took us about 2 hours to pack up the house which was pretty good and only an hour to unpack, I dropped the truck off then relaxed the rest of the day.

Today we moved some of the furniture out of our garage and into our house (replacing the TV & sofa in the basement) and will slowly clean up the rest of the house as the days pass.  My back hurts, moving heavy items is definitely not good for me but it was necessary and I’ll be meeting my new tenants next Saturday to give them the keys.  The cottage was nice but with a pool in our current house, we rarely feel the need to go away.
