Moving Day

We moved in midOctober

Our moving crew consisted of one 26 foot truck and five men. With our two storage units and the condo itself we had to deal with two entrances/parking spots and one elevator. Incredibly for both entrances there were ideal parking spaces for this huge truck. This doesn't happen very often in downtown Kirkland. The weather was also very good. We had about 80 boxes the day we moved. The next few days I packed another 10-15 with clothes and kitchen items we moved ourselves.

Our old place



We had seven of these metal racks on wheels. They were full of our journals and books. The movers decided to use the truck's lift to put them into the truck. 



In a small condominium storage space is important. Our condo came with a bonus. In addition to the usual 4'x6' storage space on the left we have a 7'x17' storage space. That's an AMAZING amount of space for a place in downtown Kirkland.
first came the furniture
then the boxes - we had a double line of boxes the length of the living room, 3-4 boxes high
picture from Joe's chair - he asked the men to move some of the boxes so he could see through to the TV
The fun continues!

 Our across-the-hall neighbor moved in the same week we did. His stuff arrived in a POD. It was fascinating to watch the process. Check out this video posted on YouTube.
I'd be interested in who invented this "podzilla" and how he/she came up with it.

Our kitchen looks like it exploded
so does the living room
the last load from our old place
The missionaries came over to help rearrange the various components in the master bedroom closet

living room is "done"
turn around and you see the kitchen isn't quite done

The work continues
