I would add three things:

1) step ladder for painting before the furniture is delivered

2) graph paper to help you arrange your furniture ONE TIME

3) a solid sense of humor

You're welcome!  Can't say I practice what I preach, however.  The past 2 moves resulted in 2 new step ladders.  I think we have 4 now!  :)
