Cleaning & Packing Day The Last Day

As of 11:30 last night we have officially gotten all of our stuff out of the old house. There is nothing of ours left there. At least nothing we want. The pile of trash up at the road is astounding. We're hoping Mr. Rubbish will take it all. Well, I doubt they'll take the desk that is sitting out there, but I'm willing to bet the desk is gone by now anyway.

Moving sucked, it always sucks. Even though we spent two weeks packing in preparation for the big move we still had to pack while we where moving. We had the house almost empty by Saturday night. Two loads with a 16ft box truck, the Van and the Focus. Sunday was just as bad. We did 3 or 4 loads with the Pickup and Focus while Jen hung out at home and started unpacking. Sunday we found out that the washer Cam bought, that we where just going to leave in our house didn't work, so we had to swap it out for ours. One more thing to slow us down. Saturday and Sunday where long days, up at 8am and not back down until 2am.

Yesterday we had to go back for the rest of the stuff, two more loads with the pickup and focus. It's not that it was a lot of stuff, it's just that everything we had left was bulky. It was stuff that should have gone into the box truck. So we fill up the focus and pick up. My brother in law Chris would have been proud if he saw the last pickup load. He lives by the motto "With enough straps anything is safe." We has stuff stacked above the cab. It was all held together with 5 ratchet straps. I never would have taken it on the e-way but from Pickney to Brighton via back roads it was good.

All in all this move was by far the easiest we have done. It only took 3 days of moving, which is the normal for us. But this time it was 1 day of hard moving and two days of sorting and packing, as opposed to just 3 days of hard, rushed moving.

We're in the new place, the cable is hooked up. We have internet after a bunch of trouble with Comcast. It finely came down to me driving up to the office to get our shit sorted out. We still don't have cable in the bedroom, but we have it in the living room.

All the hard stuff is done, now comes the time consuming part. Unpacking! I think we have plenty of room for stuff once we get it sorted out. It's the sorting that will take time. You can't even walk through our bedroom. It needs serious unpacking. Hoping we can get to that today. Mike's room and our room are the only two rooms in the house with nothing in the garage. Every other room has at least 2 boxes out there.

More later I assume.
