As mentioned recently, my sister and I inherited the contents of a house that was an 8 hour drive away. In June, we went down and sorted what we wanted moved up. This week it was moved. I will save you all the drama of this stressful move (it includes a too small truck, extortion, damage - my brother in law is taking this all on) but in the end most items made it safely.
After 2 trips in the car to bring small items home last week and to help my sister sort the things we received (which seemed like so much as I have just been home all the time and she does live just over an hour away), Saturday was the big moving day. The Man and I drove to near my sister's to pick up our 10 foot UHaul. The last time the Man drove a big vehicle was our RV experience to BAR (which was it's own nightmare). He was a little nervous, but it went well. He found this easier. We were able to return it closer to home.
Saturday, in crippling heat (high 30s/100), we loaded and unloaded the truck.
Lee was very interested in the truck. Too bad she was unable to carry things!
Slowly we are putting the new things into their place and hopefully soon the dogs will learn to appreciate it all more. (Phod is very upset by all the new stuff, that likely smells like cat!)

| Tea Cart turned bar cart! |
oooh love the new bar cart, that has something from downton abbey ;O) ...but no fun to work in such a heat...
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to get new stuffs but moving in un-doGly temps can really take the fun out of it.
ReplyDeleteAfter all the drama and stress, we're betting the humans found that the bar cart came in handy...
ReplyDeleteOh do I recall your trek to B.A.R. 2016...to check an RV trip off your bucket list.
ReplyDeleteAs you said it was it's own story.
K10 the multi-purpose cart is so beautiful!!

ReplyDeleteI got tired just thinking about that work... well done all parties!!! YAM xx
We're glad to hear all the stuff moving is done. It's too bad that the process of moving often results in some form of extortion by the movers. Are there any good movers out there?
ReplyDeleteI love that green chair and would love to have it to sit in my bedroom or in my living room hint hint!
ReplyDeleteWe've been through that two times now with Grampa Bill's house, and our Oma's house. What a big job! You never realize how much people have in their homes until you have to move it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteChange can always be stressful dogs. And all that work sorting and moving must have been hard on you too. But now you can relax and enjoy it. That teacart is lovely.

Moving stuff is bad enough but not when it's so hot. Glad you got everything moved safely. Now have a drink from the bar!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that when moving things, ot is always WAY hot...or raining. Glad you have it behind you!
ReplyDeleteHi hi hi! Ojo here! I will help carry things! But my person says moving stuff is stressful. She says Hot is stressful too. I would agree about the Hot part. Handsome Phod if you do not want the cat smell, send it to us! Mmmm, CAT!!!

Moving is always a test on one's courage and stamina. Glad you made it through the hard part mostly unscathed.
