Been there. Ours was pushed 3 times. I ended up driving the semi, with the Jimmy on it and the boat behind it, on 2 lane narrow Tennessee roads to get it done on time.

We should here back by tomorrow morning. Either way, we just need the paperwork filed before the courthouse closes Wednesday in order to get the keys and move this weekend.
Cleared to close and just waiting on documents to be sent over to the two title companies. It will likely be a last minute scramble in the morning but we should be able to get everything wrapped up before the holiday so we can move over the long holiday weekend.
I also managed to finish up the stain on the cabinets. Bottom side is back together, top doors need another day to dry before reassembly.

It's official, everything is signed and filed with the county. Waiting at the new property for our agent to get here with keys.
Congratulations. Now the work begins.
Moving has begun
You have your priorities in order.
Start off the day (one motorcycle already moved yesterday)
End of the day
I didn't get a pic of the new shop yet, but it's far from cluttered but very disorganized so far.

We have moved about 50-60% of everything maybe more in 6 or 7 trips in two days. Mostly using my duramax with a pickup box trailer and the wife's Colorado.
We have everything moved except what I had stored outside and my office. I'm now neck deep into remodeling the lower level. This week has been a blur so i may mix up what was done on which day...
Monday, my contractor friend and a helper came out and started ripping out the kitchen flooring 6 layers and relocated the end cabinet to fit the dishwasher. Another friend of mine and a gall my wife hired, came out to paint the livingroom. I ended the day painting around the cabinets in the kitchen.
Tuesday, my contractor friend and helper continued in the kitchen, finished typing it old flooring and set up the cabinets. My other friend fixed the deck for me. Apparently I didn't take pictures.
Wednesday, one friend painted the downstairs bedroom and helped my contractor friend finish up the kitchen countertop. Then repaired siding on the front of the house. I also dug up the septic tank covers to get that serviced and inspected.
Thursday, my friend came in and installed the kitchen flooring.

Friday my wife put a second coat of paint on the lower bedroom and my contractor friends helper painted the front of the house so it is one color.
Saturday, my wife painted the upstairs bathroom, the gal she hired cleaned the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. I sealed the countertops and knocked out 75%of the downstairs flooring.
Last day for flooring. Tomorrow I need to knock out trim and stain the deck.
Finished the flooring Sunday, finished the trim Monday. Got as far as cutting and routing the backsplash pieces. The window sill interferes with the long backsplash so I need to trim one or the other to make them fit.
Congrats on the new place!
Are those latest flooring pics of the house you're turning into a rental? I think it's funny how much work seems to happen to a house that is being moved out of. When we were getting our old house ready to sell, the wife and I kept saying "Why didn't we do all this when we were going to keep living here?"

That's exactly what I was going to say
I am trying to slowly do that to mine and enjoy it instead of someone else
Remodeling before you move in is one thing, trying to get it done while living in it is another. We started the work over a year ago. The first half took 6 plus months. The second half a couple of weeks. The only difference was we moved our stuff out.
The old house is now in the market.

And I'm getting our newer washer and drier installed. This is a tight squeeze and definitely one area needing improvement in the future.
We're have the house up on the market now. Hopefully it sells quickly.
