All good stuff, folks, thanks. Keep ‘em coming.
What, no moving horror stories? Here’s mine.
On our way to Orlando four years ago, the moving truck came and packed us up and off they went. Ten days later after moseying across country stopping to visit friends and family, we arrived. I called to check on the movers only to find that our stuff had not left Washington State yet.
Movers, even the big companies like United Van Lines, etc., are independent contractors. Ours got sick and was hospitalized right after packing up our stuff. Only when I squawked, did they get someone else to snag the trailer and head East.
We spent more than a week “camping” in our new house with the fabulous array of goods the $250 compensation purchased at WalMart. Hate the place, but it’s where to go if you need everything. I could have used a few kitchen utensils in that box in the car that Simon mentioned.
