Moving out of the house

Friday, September 07, 2007

It's a pretty exciting day around here. We have made the decision to move charssi and glutenada out of our home. Currently, our house is used for storing all the packaging and shipping materials and most of our guest room and all of our family are filled with shelving units and boxes of items (labels, spoons, boxes, bags, etc). I'm tired of it.

So, we started the search for an office space we could use as an off-site shipping and storage facility - and we found one just a few miles from our home. It's centrally located to both the USPS and FedEx as well as our house and the commercial kitchen we use. We're signing the lease on Monday and then we can start moving stuff out of our house and into our office. How thrilling is that?!

I get my family room back and our guest room goes back to being just a guest room. No more tripping over boxes of copper lids (for the spoon fudge) or bags of twist ties. No more labels falling off the shelves and rolling across the floor. No more shipping boxes stacked by the fireplace, the front door, and in the hallways. Yay!

I'll get some photos taken once we've officially received the keys and are able to go in. We'll do some before/during/after photos of our move in and setting everything up. I'll post these here, at the Spoon Fudge blog and at the Glutenada blog.

I'm heading down to the Health Dept on Monday to get my paperwork in order for Glutenada and once we're in the new space, I think we'll be ready to launch. Finally - a year after I got this started. :smile:

It's very exciting to be at this point. I thought it would never get here.
