It's like Christmas here, haven't seen this stuff for 4 months!! There are not many places to put these boxes as the house seems small with so many of them....so our basement is doubling as empty box storage. Our 2nd bedroom became the catch-all for the stuff we don't know what to do with yet. So far everything is here and accounted for. Only damage is our step tansu has deep scratches so we will be filing a claim but hopefully we can touch it up without too much notice! The packers put such random things together, it's always a joy to find your bathroom towels in a kitchen box, ha.
Our movers show up with this huge truck for our 6500 pounds! So huge that there is not ample parking on the street so we met the neighbors right away knocking on doors and asking if they could move their car. Finally the truck fit and only a tree branch got knocked down. And Ryan saved the driver from a ticket. People complained about blocking the street! What are they supposed to do? I guess if the street's blocked for only a morning or afternoon it's ok but not the entire day. We enjoyed our movers, they were a husband and wife team in their 50s so he did most of the lifting. Oh yeah, and they loved the steep steps and the many trips for all of our boxes! The lady is also a seamstress and so made a makeshift curtain out of a sheet for our bedroom and our living room (to block the view of the beer cans from our neighbors!). She gave me her cell number:-) Back to the grind....

Can relate with the tree branch. We met our neighbors real quick when our truck took out their mailbox:( And for all those boxes we just threw one away this weekend! Happy unpacking, your house looks so homey. I love the back patio and the floors, has lots of character.
