The move yesterday went great. Two PODS were enough after all - only the kitchen chairs didn't make it; and they could have if we pushed it. Thanks to all who helped - John, Brett, Rob, Jason, and also to Suzy for watching the kids. Jen and I are very grateful. It was a beautiful summer Saturday, I'm sure you are all as sore as I am - thanks for sacrificing the time and strength for us. Also, thanks again to Grammy (aka, Mom), who flew home this morning - for a great week of packing and prep for us while we were at work. Wouldn't have gone so well without you!
As far as Phase 2 (Packing) goes, we clocked the whole thing in only 137 hours start of packing to PODS locked. There are still some odds and ends to finish, but overall I'm pretty pleased everything went so efficiently - way less than 2x what I think a pro-company could have pulled off (5 packers x 2 days, + 3 movers one day = 104 hours).
I'm starting Phase 3 (Phase 1 = planning, btw) today by doing a little material shopping at Lowes - pull-bars, cats-feet, hammers, safety gear (hats and knee pads) - and probably some protection for the hardwood and draping material for a clean space.
This is technically yesterday's blog - too tired last night - I'll write one more time tonight, but then not again until Thursday.
Thanks again, and stay tuned!
