We Got All Of Our Stuff!!!

We Finally Have All Of Our Stuff!!!!!

Woo-hoo no more storage units or storage containers and their associated fees.

Here's a video of the storage company dropping off our 10' storage container...we haven't seen what's inside there in uh...four years...

Watch how it unloads...they guarantee that the container stays level through out the process.

Look its a car!! My custom 1969 Datsun Roadster! Poor baby...I blew the engine shortly before we moved so it just made sense to store it...

My baby got damaged during storage. Somehow the car banged up against the doors hard enough to dent the bumper and push the bumper mount in...this was a perfect recently redone and rechromed bumper before we put it in storage....I didn't strap the car down which in retrospect I guess was not a good idea...

Look we have a lathe!! This thing weighs many hundreds of pounds and the B.S. dolly I put together for it disintegrated...we had to pry off the wheels and slide it out onto the ever capable Harbor Fright movers dollys we own. It went okay and pushing it up the slight hill into the garage was not disastrous.

Here's most of the stuff out of the container. That big pile on the left is all of our Halloween stuff that we stored...yes all the stuff you've seen on this blog is new since we moved...We probably have that same amount again now....WOW do we have a lot of Halloween Decorations...

Here's one of the garages with the car and one mc...not enough room in there right now for the other mc and the bikes! Gotta figure out some seriously clever storage solutions for this space...its an excuse to buy go-jacks for my car so I can schooch it around and get it REALLY close to the side wall. Wonder if it will run anytime soon...

Here we are after a hard day of watching us work...grandpa and baby are napping in our 'nice furniture' which we haven't seen in many years...

Its nice to have everything here at the new house...it'll still take us weeks to unpack and get the place 100% squared away...

Moving Is SOooooooo Much Fun!!!

So Febuary 14th was moving day...I set it on V-day cause well.... I frigen hate that day and what better way to spend it than moving?

Man, moving sucks...the movers showed up over an hour late and we were moving until after 9pm! Why do they always try to blame you for that kind of stuff? Well...you told us you only had this much stuff....How the hell am I supposed to know how many boxes I'm going to have before they are even packed!?!?!

Trying to learn our lesson from when we moved into this place...I took 3 full truck loads of 'stuff' to the new place even before the movers showed up!

This is the kind of scary stuff you see when you don't clean behind your washer and dryer that double as kitchen counters....ick...

The purple couch ready to go...

Of course is was raining...man that sucked...it actually rained pretty hard that day...

The lone little pumpkin left in that window...how sad...

Skip hours and hours of moving as the movers slowed waaaaaaaay down...

The new place has lady bugs!!! Lots and lots and lots of lady bugs. It kinda freaked baby madscientist out a bit...

Trying to figure out how to fit 20 lbs of poop in a 10 lb sack....
On a side note, this kitchen is really, poorly laid out.. with lots of wasted dead space in the cabinets....
Crappiest thing, no way we can fit our fancy 36" wide Wolf stove in here...not without a MAJOR remodel which is not going to happen unless we hit the lotto or something...

Trying to unpack the bathroom. Which was made much harder by the utter lack of storage space!

Baby MadScientist whipping her daddy into shape.

I seriously friggen hate moving...we did all we could to make this move go easier and it still took two days of 'professional' movers to get most of our stuff over to the new house....most, not all....

All I'm saying is that I really, truely, hope this is our last move ever....until we take that final move....
