The Last Garage Sale and Getting the Coach Ready To Go

We dropped the motorhome off at Creative Coach on Friday morning, went to breakfast at the Auburndale Diner, and went back home to get ready to go to the closing. What a wonderful day!!! We have waited for this day for a long time.

The closing was fast and went very smooth. After the closing Don took us all to Red Lobster for lunch. It was very good and we truly enjoyed it. Then it was back home to get things ready for the garage sale on Saturday. This was going to be our last garage sale, finally. When we dropped the coach off at Creative Coach we asked the guys if we could leave it until Saturday afternoon. By leaving it there I wouldn't have to move it down the street to my neighbor's house again as we have been doing for the previous garage sales. They were great guys and told me it was no problem at all. 

The garage sale went great and we got rid of a lot of stuff. One of the people that came by told us since it was our last garage sale he would come by and make us an offer on what was left if we were interested. Since we didn't want to take anything back inside and it was going to be our last sale we said sure. He came by after the sale, loaded up what was left, folded up our tables for us, and we were finished with garage sales.

After the garage sale was finished we stopped by Creative Coach to pick up the motorhome. I had told them when we dropped it off that I thought there might be something wrong with the steering and asked if they would check it out. Sure enough, Lester, the service writer, told me I needed a front end alignment and recommended a place in Orlando called Josam Frame and Alignment. He said it was the only place he would recommend and they use a laser alignment system. We looked it up on the internet and decided to see how soon we could get an appointment. I called them today and they said they were about a week out so I made an appointment for next Monday. 

I sure hope this all works out. The coach is scheduled to go to Classic Coach on Tuesday morning to have the refrigerator replaced with a residential model and all the shades replaced with the AutoMotion day/night shades. It is suppose to be finished by Friday. Then I take it to Josam's Monday for the alignment and we have to be loaded and out of here on Friday May 11th.

A lot to do in a short amount of time.

Until next time...
