Tomorrow and Saturday, my office is moving. Not far, just across the street. But that doesn't mean that we didn't have to pack up everything. It's amazing how many boxes six people can generate. Most of the furniture is staying - it wasn't ours; we inherited it from the previous tenants, as the new tenants will inherit it from us - so that helps with how much has to move.
Other than boxes, the major challenges associated with our move is setting up the IT infrastructure - networks, email, computers, phones, etc. In our old offices, we had these things, but only minimally. After all, there were only six of us. But now that we are more than six and need to be able to communicate easily with our colleagues around the country. So we are getting videoconferencing and VOIP phones.
As of Monday (possibly Tuesday), move #1 will be done.
Move #2 is well underway. Or at least the ducks are being lined up in a row. Moving company came today to give me an estimate. Roof is fixed. Phones, internet, and cable have been notified. Alarm company is ready to cancel service here and set up service there. Lawn and maid services have been canceled in time for move. Still trying to find a handyman for the other repairs, but am hopeful that will come together.
Both contracts need only the appraisals to be finalized. Closing dates have been set. Funding is in the works.
Less than 5 weeks to go.
