We got the email today notifying us and the appropriate authorities that our house will be moved tomorrow morning. It was a little shocking seeing that email - seemed so final!
We went out to the house again this morning, to see if anything was going on and nothing was. Guillermo did a little more sorting of the ultimate last few items in the shed, painted a tool handle, and then borrowed a shovel and a bar from the neighbor to dig up our mailbox. We placed the mailbox in the shed. This weekend we'll probably go to the house and move the mailbox and the last few small things out - and take the lock with us. That'll be it.
Then we'll try to make some point of references in the yard, because today we can still tell where the house was. We can still see where the kitchen was, where our room was and stuff like that. But once the project starts, and that bulldozer comes in and wipes out all the concrete linings and beams, etc. there won't be anything at all that will mark where our house once stood. We could probably say, "We think our house must have been about here." Or something like that. But even just trying to figure out where the Mimosa tree had been, we couldn't tell anymore.
Wow, tomorrow morning. 9am. Should be interesting..........
