Well, after two days of packers and loaders we are now free of the majority of our stuff. Yesterday (Tuesday) was a great deal since the packers were here from 10:00a.m. until 4:30pm. Today was a different story--the movers showed up around 9:30am and had to pack everything the folks didn't touch yesterday and put everything into containers. What was supposed to be a quick job turned into a 13-hour nightmare with them leaving the property at 10:30pm.
Our little apartment and storage unit filled an entire semi...luckily we will have a huge house (by DC comparison) in Alaska. Chuck stayed in the apartment and I was downstairs with the loaders the entire day. We had multiple hours without any comm between the two of us and as the day lengthened my patience grew quite short. We even missed our massages due to the loaders lack of ambition, not to mention that people in our building called the managed to complain.
At the end of the night I walked into our empty apartment to find an open bottle of champagne (complete with plastic glasses), "Ethopian Chinese" (no utensils b/c they had all been packed) and a camping chair with my husband and Gato.
Wait for tomorrow's update...they are putting the phone booth into storage. This is always fun! Moving Hell Part III
