Clearing out house

Today and over the next few days I am clearing everything out of the house that doesn't belong and putting it in the garage. It's not strictly on the schedule, but it does need to be done before we put the flooring in so it will help at that point and will make the house infinitely more comfortable in the meantime. We've got stuff in the house that belongs in the garage and stuff in the garage that belongs in the house so I am attempting to at least make sure that there is no garage stuff in the house. We are having company this weekend which includes two kids so I wanted the house to be safe and as comfortable as possible, which means not tripping over tools and ladders. The garage is now a mess, but we can take our time sorting that out.

I had some dryer drama - out less than 2 year old dryer stopped working. I spent an hour trouble shooting, got nowhere and called the manufacturer to schedule service. Fortunately, the customer service person walked me through some things, and eventually told me to unplug it, wait 10 minutes and turn it on. That did the trick! The dryer actually has a computer, and it needed to be rebooted. Whoda thunk it?
