Swimmod_Luna Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Slowly making progress. Haven't even started the kitchen yet and I know that's probably gonna be the biggest pain in the ass. I think we'll be okay though. Especially since we're moving June 1 but have this place until the end of June so all the small odds and ends can stay behind for now if need be. Trying to get a quote for a mover. One place gave me an estimate of 990-1150 which seems high but I reserved the date just in case we can't find anyone else on such short notice. They say they can refund the deposit if I change my mind so hopefully that's true. Also this is now my general complaint/progress about moving thread for the next 2 weeks until we actually move.

Naraku4656 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 the people who moved my stuff did it for $600ish if i remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiles Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I can't even imagine having so much stuff that packing is an entire ordeal. When I helped my mom move many years ago, I was like "How do you have so much shit?" Even now, I can carry all of my worldly belongings in three, maybe four bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have more shit now but I'm really hoping we get a better estimate elsewhere. Some guy is coming over tomorrow to give us an estimate and I think Kidney contacted one or two places as well.

Swimmod_Luna Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Storage closet fully packed and ready to go. Only like 5 boxes worth of Christmas/Halloween decorations in there but it's something. Still a shit-ton more to go. Hoping to knock out the living room this weekend aside from the few things we'll need until the day we move. And start the kitchen which I know is gonna be the biggest pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Oh god we need so many more boxes. I knew the stuff I got from U-Haul the other day was just gonna be a start but we only have 1 large and 2 medium boxes left and haven't even started the kitchen other than our drinking glasses.

Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Living room is basically done, just a couple random items left in there and of course the stuff we'll still need up until moving day.

Swimmod_Luna Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Living room is DONE aside from some Nintendo Switch stuff and the things we'll need up until moving day. Threw some shit away that was on the dining room table, should be able to finish cleaning it off tomorrow and throw the few things that we need into a small box. Made a little progress on the kitchen but still dreading packing all that shit. Also I know I kept 4 plastic cups unpacked so we could use them until moving day but now I CAN ONLY FIND 3. And still no diploma to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 So I got 3 boxes packed in the kitchen today but just by looking at the kitchen it looks like I've made no progress. Like I guess that's to be expected because a lot of what I packed was in cabinets and a lot of the stuff that's out in the open is food which will either be tossed or just thrown in bags day of and taken with us in our cars. Pots and pans weren't quite as bad as I thought, we have less stuff than I thought. Will maybe try to find a long, flat box for the big pans or maybe just carry them or something. Should I ever bother to put the cast iron skillet in a box? It's so big and heavy it would basically need it's own box. Maybe I'll throw it in with the silverware when I pack that.

Swimmod_Luna Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Kitchen is as done as it's gonna be until the night before we move, I think. I want to leave a few things there for cooking before we move, and some things are just too big to fit in a box. Kitchen was probably the worst room to pack out of any, my bedroom should be pretty easy and then all the stuff on my desk can just be thrown into a box.

Swimmod_Luna Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Movers were almost 2 hours late so that's cool. I can hear Gordon meowing from across the parking lot and then when I'm inside he scratches at the bedroom door where he's closed in hopefully not damaging it too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
