Here she is in all her 30 plus foot glory. Here is a short (not so short) list of things that I learned from this move:1. Having people come and pack you and load you is not as restful as it sounds.
2. Using an independent packer/loader is not a brilliant idea after all.
3. Just because the company assures you that they have packing experience does not guarantee packing experience.
4. You must monitor every move that the movers make or you will end up with broken things, scratched furniture, and a huge mess.
5. Driving a huge U-Haul while towing your car behind you is NOT FUN.
6. Shoving your entire family into the front of a U-Haul is also not highly enjoyable.
7. Blown out trailer tires can bring endless fun as you wait on the side of a busy highway for several hours while waiting for U-Haul to send someone to fix it.
8. Just because you provide Mattress bags and furniture pads does nit ensure that the movers will actually use them.
9. Bring cleaning supplies with you in the car because even though the house is supposed to be clean upon arrival it might be a utter pigsty.
In summation when you think you are making life cheaper and easier by avoiding using a real moving company-you should think again. Thank you for listening to me grumble, complain, whine, and vent. On the bright side it is all over and the company is picking up the tab-Hurray!
