The big items have all been moved and fit, like a giant jigsaw puzzle, into Apartment 4. The hideabeds are standing on end, the stoves are topped with boxes and chairs, and the linens and other items fit into the closet. Even the bathtub is serving as a storage area for plastic trashcans. It really is organized although it looks chaotic. Over in Apartment 2 the situation is under control. The mini-community room has all the videos and games ready for check out and a table and a few chairs where guests may gather. The volunteers are setting up office and will once again go about the business of filling apartments as they become empty and seeing to the needs of our guests. These few pictures will give you a sense of what Apartments 2 and 4 look like. A few more small items need to be moved but we're just about ready for the bulldozers to come!

Moving volunteers are working today to get the hideabeds and stoves moved to Apartment 4, the apartment being used as the storage unit. Soon Building B will be completely empty and ready for demolition. Thanks to the many volunteers and residents who have helped pack and move all of the contents.
