The Big Move

This weekend we have been moving truck load after truck load to the new house. We have 3 men and a truck hired for today @ $136/hour so of course I have been doing as much as possible before they get here. They can move the couch, boxes of books that are downstairs and other heavy items.

I have thrown caution to the wind and done some wild packing. It will take days/weeks at the new house to find certain items. I haven't really had the planning time to properly label and box each room. I'll save some money, but pay in my own time at a later date.



All of the rooms have been packed and are pretty bare. This is Red Ant's room as an example. It'll be exciting to be spending our first night at our new home. I'll post as school and time allows!!!

    1. The organization is just an illusion. I actually just boxed a lot of the stuff in the room, and carried the loaded drawers over in the truck. The pre-move purge didn't happen like I wanted, but the movers only took 3 hours.

      I was pleased.

  3. Haha. I know what you mean about unpacking. We still have boxes; but as I move them so they are out of the way, I try to at least peek inside and quickly list the contents before I do so.
    Good luck and congratulations once again!

    1. The unpacking is a slow process, and we are hoping to find a good home for everything.

  4. Moving is always horrific. But when you have finished, you'll be ensconced in your new home and it will be worth it. I hope it goes well.

    1. I always amazed each time that I move the amount of "stuff" that has been accumulated. A deep pantry sure hasn't eased the moving process. I can't imagine someone realistically trying to bug out for a long term event without prepositioning supplies.
