I finished changing all of the locks today, but I finally felt secure when I figured out how to reset the garage door openers and program the remotes. It wasn't as hard as I was making it out to be, I just had the ladder up on the wrong side of the opener.
As I changed the locks on the guest cabin, I noticed that the owner took all of the light bulbs except one in the main room and one in the bathroom (that's eight bulbs missing). Thankfully, they did leave the cabin's furniture and mini-fridge (although the later needs a good cleaning). That would have been another expense that we couldn't afford.
Currently, we need to replace at least two light fixtures in the master bathroom (one is necessary for reading on the toilet), the light fixture in the boys' bedroom, and a missing fixture in the downstairs hall. Honestly, there are more that I would like to change as many of the fixtures are for pricey fluorescent ring bulbs (whose light is not that great), but we are really limited on what we can do for the time being. We are missing curtain rods or shades for most of the window (at least the bedrooms are going to need them). We will also need to move a circuit box and make some egress window adjustments if we want to use two of the rooms on the lower floor as bedrooms.
And all of that will have to wait until after tomorrow's main move.
At this point, we have half of the garage cleared and in the truck. After tonight's last night at the house we've been renting, my plan is to pack up the furniture and then see what space is left in the U-Haul for the rest of the boxes. We have a little over a week to clear out, so we don't need to get everything over tomorrow, but I'd like to at least get all of the big stuff over before 4pm (when I have to return the truck). Based on the progress Janelle, Trevor, and I made tonight, I think we can do it.
I do, however, need to get some sleep.
