Remember this debacle? Well, now for the update... So moving company #1 said it would take 8 hours and over $800 - NEXT! When moving company #2 came over they agree that eight hours was a crazy estimate and that there was no way it would take eight hours. Do you know what their estimate was? Seven hours! HA! NEXT! So finally, with moving company #3 (a local company), we got a 3-4 hour estimate - less if we end up hauling anything ourselves. Let�s be serious here for a minute, why and how could it possibly take EIGHT HOURS to move TWO PEOPLE out of a ONE BEDROOM apartment? What if we were a family of five living in a 3-story house? Would it take moving company #1 and moving company #2 a week to move the stuff? Gimme a break! Anywhoozle, the big move is goin� down on the morning of the 26th which means I�ll probably be without interweb (gasp!) from the 25th until whatever day I can get the new cable company over to set up the new stuff - keep your fingers crossed that it�ll be early on the 27th. Outside of that I�ve just been doing things like transferring some utilities (e.g. electricity) and cancelling others (e.g. land-line phone service) as well as changing our address for things like magazine subscriptions and cell phone bills (the husband insists on having paper statements for whatever reason). I suppose next I should probably get started on this whole packing thing. I did get our 15 plastic crates with lids out of storage so I guess that�s something - now I just have to fill �em up... |
