In re my new apartment - I've been living in this one for 34 years ... and I don't think I've gotten rid of anything until this move came up. I've donated bags and bags of clothes and books, and still have more to get rid of (one more shipment of clothes and "household goods" and then I can work on the books). I've been saving for over a year, knowing I'd probably have to move, so I can afford some new furniture. There are some really badly worn things I'd like to replace and I'm definitely going to need at least one new rug ... my living room rug is in bad shape, although a professional cleaning might return it to usable, and the area rugs in the bedroom are completely worn out.
The new place, when large things arrive, they put them in a package room. I don't have the strength or mobility to move anything large or heavy ... where I am now, I've been able to pay the handyman to move stuff for me. The new place - I don't know them and I don't know if they'd be amenable to doing that. Also, since I don't usually get home before 7:00, I assume they'd have gone off duty by then.
I'm thinking - as space becomes available - of ordering new stuff, having it delivered to the old apartment, then having movers move the new stuff for me.
Thoughts? advice?
Since you have some time that might be a workable plan to have things delivered to your existing place. Still, I would check with the new place and find out what the options are. You are not the first person to have this issue.
Thanks, y'all!
I have yet to figure out all the bells and whistles on my not-really-new-anymore car because I keep not reading the owner's manual. Not like I haven't have time...
Toddson, does Taskrabbit or something like it exist in your area? You could probably hire a strong young body or two for less than engaging movers.
OK, I'm a little horrified that I just got an email from Rugs USA asking if I still want to buy the rug I was looking at! I know cookies and everything, but I didn't tell them who I am!
ok, job has called. Background email should be incoming today, as well as either a call or email about setting up physical. 3/2 is a go for start date.
I have someone coming out Thursday to give me an estimate on gate and garage door.
I'm gonna eat some lunch and then go get meds and talk to pet store about dog walkers.
WHEE!!
Zen, if I have everything moved from old place to new at one swell foop, so to speak, it shouldn't be that much more expensive ... and allow me to get unpacked at once rather than waiting for pieces to arrive.
That sounds right to me, Toddson.
Git'er done, msbelle!
I keep not reading the owner's manual.
I don't have a manual as such. All the car info is located online in videos. I expect there are lots of videos for various cars now.
Seconding here for the online videos -- I've been able to do stuff like change my own headlights because of them. I miss the 'onboarding' that I got with my Subaru, though, because it was new, I got a 45 minute (something like that -- I was a quick learner) session with a guy who showed me ALL the bells and whistles.
