Just finished a move of my own!

By
Real Estate Agent with Laura Gail Gwyn Properties

     I am proud to announce I have just completed a move of my own!  This is our 3rd personal residence and our final resting place.  We were anxious to downsize.  2000 sq ft gave us everything we needed.  We have a formal/every day dining room, living room, kitchen, office, 2 other bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms.  We also scaled down to a 2 car garage. 

     Last week we moved stuff over to the new house every evening afterwork.  The movers (Chuck Rambo - AM PM Moving 503-399-7822) showed up Friday 8:00 AM sharp to pick up our heavy stuff at the rental.  They also unloaded our pods and placed everything in the rooms for us.  3 big guys and their huge truck were $85 per hour.  We have used them for every one of our moves.  We have some very heavy, sentimental pieces so we are nervous about movers in general.  I highly recommend Rambo to anyone with heavy fragile items. 

5:00 Sunday we showered, changed and even went out to dinner.  For the most part we are done.  We sold stuff at the end of the driveway, off craig's list, and I even threw together a quick garage sale Sunday at Noon.  I picked up a few extra hundred bucks and have the garage cleaned out and organized! 

     Yes, we are parked in the garage.  So, I know it can be done and I do practice what I preach!  Lol... 

     I know not everyone is as crazy as we are.  We have a goal to move and be completely unpacked in 1 weekend.  We wanted to have our lives back to normal.  As you can see I still have my office and dining room to go!  We'll get this done in the evenings this week. 

  

We are looking forward to getting back to work and life as normal.  Work will seem like rest to us now.  

Moving is hard, but it is definitely rewarding!

Good luck with you new "final resting place"!!!

That's very ambitious of you to get all unpacked in one weekend.

I hope it happens!

We haven't moved for 12 years . . . I think it's time to do so just so we clear out things we don't need/want!  Getting the grown up kids to take the rest of their left behinds items would be wonderful too!  Congrats on your new home -- it must be perfect for you to want to stay there forever!
