Moving day again....no more for 3 years!!

New bed that Tracy bought at the Base Thrift Store. It needed some new hardware on the rails, but we could not pass up the price. (Plus we only shipped one bed frame...so this makes #2)

The movers came to pick up the "loaner" furniture, and deliver our furniture. They literally wrapped the stairs and the doors with furniture blankets, so that they do not scratch anything.

Our belongings are in those 2 crates...thought we packed more than that

Good bye ugly, uncomfortable loaner mattress!

Yea, it is our belongings. Again 50 nails in each crate, plus the plastic band or "seal"

So we were allowed approx. 6,000lbs of goods to ship, and our grand total was 2,077. We did leave some furniture at home, but we really have nothing.

 Fun, more packing paper





The fun part of watching them unload the truck is not knowing what is wrapped up in the paper. All of the packages/boxes are numbered, and that correlates to the inventory sheet. The sheet is so vague as to what it is, and some boxes are labeled "kitchen goods"....

The legs or feet to our sofas....so that is how they are gonna get it through the door!

Lots of packing paper

They literally have it everywhere

 Can you find the dent....this is our only claim we have to file. When this came off the truck, it just so happened that the Customer Service Rep from Fukuoka Soka was at the house to discuss "How to file a claim"...she saw the trash can, and said "That is definitely a claim."

 Jon admiring the mess in the living room....at first he was a little scared to open the box to his right next to the step stool. The box literally looked like it was folded in half at some point...that box was his flat screen TV, and it survived....no damage!

Finally, we can all get a good nights sleep in a comfortable bed.





Just the beginning of the boxes piling up in the kitchen. Everything in these boxes survived the trip. Not a thing was broken. Then again, they did use 6 sheets of paper on each drinking glass and we have 24 glasses, 8 sheets for coffee mugs (we have 10), and I don't even want to know how many for plates and bowls...a lot!!





The smashed trashcan....full of trash! No not really, it had 5 towels, a shower curtain, a coffee grinder, 1 cutting board, 4 wash clothes and some clothes in it...who packs like that!!

Seriously...they wrapped a shoe! One shoe of a pair was wrapped in paper, the other shoe was in a basket with other shoes!

One of the "more important" items in our shipment. We can not wait to hit the golf course!

   Progress...trust me it is!

All of the boxes are empty, broken down and ready to be picked up by the movers, along with all the packing paper. 3 loads of laundry have been done (things have a funky smell from being in a wood crate), and 1 load of dishes washed...its progress!
