Home sweet home!
Jul. 13th, 2007 05:35 pmThere are still dribs and drabs to come from the old apartment - we didn't panic over that, since we have to the end of the month to evacuate - and a buttload of cleaning, but the bulk of the move is DONE.
Two Men and a Truck showed up with a VERY big truck this morning right on time, and absolutely kicked ass. Folks, every packed box and every stick of furniture we had was packed, moved, and offloaded into our new place in two and a half hours with no fuss, no attitude, and no damage whatsoever. I was extremely impressed. If you need a moving company, I would highly recommend them.
Now we're settling into the slow process of unpacking all the boxes, but already I'm really liking the new place. We have high ceilings, we have ninety times as much storage space, we have loads of natural light, we have trees out back giving us privacy, we have TWO bathrooms and an office/guest bedroom big enough that we're not crowding each other! The cats are a little slower to settle in, but they're very cute to watch as they prowl around and find new hiding spots. (Jenna nearly gave ACat a nervous breakdown this afternoon when we couldn't find her - neither of us though a cat could FIT under that dresser!)
The boxes of books are living in the garage until we can get shelving put together, and that leaves us lots of space for the rest of the stuff, so all the boxes that were nearly claustrophobic back in the old place are quite reasonable off in a corner for the moment. It'll all get taken care of, but there's no feeling that the place is unlivable while we're working on them, and I really like that.
It's more tiring than I would have thought, though, given that we didn't do all the lugging (just all the packing and unpacking - quite enough in my elderly and senile condition. Well, I feel elderly and senile just now, anyhow.) Just letting folks know that we made it and it's all good, and now I'm going to go get dinner.
