We received our household goods today. 9 crates total or 9,000 pounds. Two guys showed up at 7:25. They began the process of opening 5 of 9 crates. They staged all of our stuff outside the house and then delivered it to the correct room. As usual, I started right away on unpacking the kitchen. Dave managed the inventory & directed traffic.
They made quick work of unloading.
They also cleaned up the paper mess before beginning the second truck.
After they cleared out the first truck, the second truck arrived with the remaining 4 crates.
There was so much paper because they wrapped furniture with paper instead of blankets.
They left before 1:00 pm. The driver from the second truck helped them finish. They worked so hard and didn’t want lunch. We kept giving them Gatorade & water.
The rest of the day we tackled boxes. By the end of the day, the downstairs looks a mess.
tomorrow is to have the kitchen finished and the den put together. I’m wiped and ready to crash on this…
We put our bed frame in long term storage. I’m so glad we did. We have about two feet on either side of the bed! I’m also glad we put our bigger furniture in storage. It definitely would not have fit.
It feels so good to unpack and settle into our home.
