First Eviction - Advice?

I’m doing my first ever, move the stuff onto the lawn eviction tomorrow at 9 am. 

Tenant is $6,200 behind on rent. Just stopped communicating in October. Won the eviction case in November, but judge delayed my ability to file for the writ of possession until after Christmas to give tenant the chance to get to current or find a new place to live. 

Filed for writ of possession on the 27th of December. Sheriff scheduled the eviction for tomorrow. 

Tenant starts blowing my phone up this afternoon pleading for more time & to not show up with the sheriff. Indicates he will pay the balance in seven days. 

I’ve ignored the communication just as he has mine for the past four months. 

Any advice for conducting the actual eviction? I’ve got three movers, plus me and my son (he’s 20) plus 100 massive trash bags.
