# Moving to the Farm Logistics and guides for the 2026 move # Sleep Number Climate360 (Split King) Disassembly # Sleep Number Climate360 (Split King) Disassembly This guide covers the disassembly of the Sleep Number Climate360 Split King for the 2026 move to Guess Rd. ### Essential Resources * **Split King Separation Video:** [How To Move A Sleep Number® FlexFit™ Base](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixv8gGzxRKQ) (Key section starts at 2:40). * **Official Support Guide:** [Moving My Sleep Number Bed](https://support.sleepnumber.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020305694-Moving-My-Sleep-Number-Bed). ### Pre-Move Checklist - [ ] **Caps:** Obtain 8 air chamber caps (4 for mattresses, 4 for pump). - [ ] **Inflate:** Use the app to inflate both sides to 100 before disconnecting anything. - [ ] **Seal:** Disconnect hoses and immediately cap both the chambers and the pump side. ### Disassembly Steps 1. **Electronics:** Unplug the main power and the "Sync Cable" that links the two base halves. 2. **Climate Modules:** Unplug data cables for foot warmers. Label them with tape. 3. **Split King Separation:** * Locate and unscrew the plastic "speed screws" connecting the frame halves. * Watch for magnet sensors on the base; they are easily knocked off. 4. **Packing:** * Bag both mattresses (keep them FLAT; never fold or stand on end). * Secure the FlexFit articulation arms with heavy-duty zip ties so they don't "flop" during transit. # Timeline & Key Dates # Move Timeline: The Final Countdown We are officially under contract for the new farm on Guess Rd!

--- ## Incoming Projects at the Farm The home inspection highlighted several immediate repairs and desired upgrades: - **High Priority: Primary Bath Floor & Plumbing:** - **Repair:** Serious rot in floor under the shower. Needs structural repair ASAP. - **Upgrade:** Relocate water heater from crawlspace to a bathroom closet. - **Upgrade:** Replace existing 35gal tank with a high-capacity 85gal electric tank (to support Erin"s legendary hot showers). - **Front Door Threshold:** Rot detected under font door. Requires sistering a 2x8 board to existing structure. (*Contractor project: tight crawlspace access.*) - **Back Deck:** Poor condition; likely demolition and rebuild project. - **HVAC:** Two units present; anticipated replacement needed in the near future. - **Outbuildings & Structures:** - **Main Workshop:** Detached space, approximately 897 sqft (~30x30 or 25x35). - **Utility Shed:** Small pre-fab shed (~8x12). - **The Stable:** 20x30 open-sided structure. Needs roof maintenance. --- *Note: This timeline is subject to change based on standard real estate closing shenanigans. Stay flexible!* # Project: Primary Bath Remodel # Primary Bathroom Remodel & Structural Repair The primary bathroom at the Farm requires a full renovation, driven by the need to repair structural rot found during the home inspection and the desire to modernize the layout from its original ADA-focused design. ## Current Challenges - **Structural Rot:** Significant moisture damage exists under the shower area. The shower must be removed to replace structural components and sub-flooring. - **Legacy ADA Layout:** Designed for wheelchair accessibility, featuring a curbless shower with a rubber bumper (the likely source of the leak) and open space under the vanities. - **Plumbing:** The current 35gal water heater is located in the crawlspace and is insufficient for family needs. ## The Vision ### Layout Changes - **The "Super Closet":** Combine the two existing small closets into one large utility and storage closet. - **Water Heater Relocation:** Move the hot water source from the crawlspace into the new bathroom closet. Replace it with a **high-capacity 85gal electric tank**. - **Modern Vanity:** Replace the open-bottom ADA vanity with a standard double vanity for more storage. ### Fixtures & Finishes - **Custom Shower:** Design and build a tiled, custom shower with a proper ledge to prevent future leaks. - **Smart Toilet:** Install a bidet beside the toilet or upgrade to a modern smart toilet with integrated bidet features. --- ## Planning & Documentation For more technical details on the inspection findings that triggered this project, see the [Timeline & Key Dates](/books/moving-to-the-farm/page/timeline-key-dates) page or refer to `StructuralInspection.pdf` in Paperless. # Project: Braxton"s Backyard Fence # Project: Braxton"s Backyard Fence One of the top "Day 0" priorities upon moving to the farm is securing a safe backyard area for Braxton. This project involves extending and reinforcing the existing pasture fencing to create a secure perimeter. ## The Vision - **Aesthetics:** To match the existing pasture look, we are using **round wood posts** throughout. We are intentionally skipping T-posts to maintain the clean, "farm-style" look of the existing board fence. - **Reinforcement:** While the existing board fence looks nice, it isn"t enough to keep a dog contained. We will be stretching **sheepwire** along the board fence sections to make them dog-proof. - **Integration:** The new fencing will tie into existing pasture lines where possible to minimize material needs and labor. ## Equipment & Tools - **The Manual Way:** Standing by with a standalone two-person auger for initial post holes. - **The Dream Upgrade:** Future tractor purchase (likely a 30-40hp Compact Utility Tractor or "CUT"). - **Attachment Wishlist:** A tractor-mounted **auger attachment** for digging posts without the back-breaking labor of the hand-held unit. --- *This project is a high priority to ensure Braxton can enjoy the 8 acres safely as soon as we arrive.*
