Moving

Items to sell/give away/toss

• basement futon
• basement desk
• outdoor wicker furniture and cushions
• outdoor flame table
• front-porch stroller
• front-porch chairs (white ikea, and bar chairs)
• green indoor rocking chair (?)

Mover items

It's probably best to disassemble all the furniture before the movers come Mika (talk) 15:52, 25 April 2024 (CEST)

• ~10-15 bookshelves or other shelves (mostly large)
• 3 beds
• 5 bedside tables
• 4 floor lamps
• ~5 dressers including B&L dresser
• ~100 boxes
  • M&M books: 30-50
  • B+L: 20 boxes books, 20 boxes other?
  • W&I ~10boxes
• 4 desks (including one long/tall one where the legs come off)
• 1 dining table + 10 chairs
• 1 tall metal bar table
• 2 couches
• 2 coffee tables
• TV
• projector/screen
• 5-6 bicycles?
• 10 large suitcases and bags of outdoor gear
• 10 skis + snowboards (i'm inclined to move some of these ourselves to prevent damage)
• outdoor red cabinet
• booze collection
• wooden bench
• 2x outdoor chairs
• BBQ grill (better condition than the one at new house?)
• 1 electric piano
• 2 coat hangers

Items to move ourselves

• I suggest moving kitchen items ourselves because it's a pain to pack them well enough for the movers...thoughts? Mika (talk)
• I will probably move our bedroom boxes and outdoor gear Mika (talk) 15:21, 25 April 2024 (CEST)
  • 40 medium and large box-sized plastic containers of clothes
• 2-3 similar cases for shoes
• Mika's bikes x5, extracycle

Near-Term Construction / Projects

bigger:

• foundation/chimney project (!)
• partition wall between bedrooms (IN PROGRESS)
• possibly remove bedroom carpet (DONE)
• remove wallpaper and paint
• fume hood in kitchen

smaller:

• window shades
• replace all external door locks with deadbolt option
• minor gutter fixes
• remove any unused extra external wires (duplicate cable/phone lines)
• reinforce/tighten support cable for main power connection
• adding bike hooks in the garage

Move In Tasks

• get movers for bigger items?

accounts:

• security system: get account switched (IN PROGRESS)
• utilities switched over (DONE?)
• "right*size" trash/compost bins and subscription

maintenance:

• garage door: fix sensor, change code, get "clickers"

might even want bike "clickers", or some phone system

sensor/security if garage door has been left open?

• irrigation system de*winterized and running
• mosquito control / cleaning of oblesk water pool
• check and set thermostat; replace if needed

House Infra

networking:

• fiber ISP?
• network panels in workshop room
• maybe small/quite servers in workshop room? not too loud or hot
• some ethernet has been run already, should check where
• existing router, multiple wifi access points

sensors:

• full*house electicial power, water
• could be privacy concerns with granular data

consistent/integrated power and lighting control? doesn't seem urgent

house has no A/C. maybe we should get a cheap/used window unit that we can pull out for hot summer days if needed?

Front Porch

a comfy chair or two? the hanging chairs at current house are nice

Foyer

• coat hangers
• shoe storage
• bench for changing shoes (existing)
• will need to figure out fireplace situation

Main Floor Rooms

• additional bookshelves

Kitchen

the kitchen area doesn't have much counter space, and most storage is "closed" (behind doors). I think we'll want to expand out in to the open room/area nearest the kitchen.

maybe a low "kitchen table" to sit at.

bar:

• solid wall shelving for liquor (existing shelving isn't very good)
• storage for glasswear
• maybe a small secondary fridge for vermouth, simple syrup, etc?
• working area for making drinks: citrus, shaker, jiggers

coffee/tea:

• table/area for espresso machine, grinder
• storage for tea, cups, brewing

storage:

• open shelves for additional glass jars, spices, clear containers?
• larger equipment like pacojet, mixer, frier, coffee roaster
• daily cups, plates, bowls, etc: are the big cabinets good for this?

Vibes

books+plants seems like a baseline.

Basement

"bedroom":

• maybe bold painting to make this a friendlier space?
• paint the ductworks bright primary colors
• murals/shapes on walls
• good lighting (color*control?)
• could have a small folding desk?
• monitor/tv?
• put the current basement bed in this room

large open room:

• could be a movie room (darker than other rooms)
• could put standing desk just under window at back wall (the one we have near front door at 908 15th)
• large storage shelves
• outdoor gear storage
• chest freezer? paco freezer?
• shoe storage
• wet shoes, then white carpet, even if just taking shoes off, hrm. replace/remove carpet, or put down some covering?

"abyss" nook (bare concrete):

• put down some non*rusting metal riser on floor (damp)
• bulk food storage, like cans?
• fermentation?

workshop room:

• tool storage, some work space
• better lighting
• stool or two
• electronics, microscope?
• ventilation for soldering (there is a window, could run a vent)

Fun

• awesome sound setup that can shake the whole house

   * (probably makes the most sense in the living room)

• projector/screen in living room
• sparkling water tap
• display in main area showing light link schedule ("next train")
• way to connect pizza oven to the outside gas line
• lighting on back deck
• barrel sauna / hot tub?
