We've spent all weekend cleaning up our apartment and putting everything into boxes and before that we spent some time for the past couple weeks putting stuff we didn't use into boxes. I can't really estimate how long it's taken to do all of this work, but it's been our top priority for a while. And we only have a one bedroom apartment. I can't imagine how much work it would be to move if we had a larger place or more people in the household. Well, we finished everything last night and were ready for the movers to arrive this morning and take everything away. They arrived when they said they would and after figuring out how to maneuver their 18-wheeler to our apartment, apartment management came out and told them that their 18-wheeler wasn't allowed. Apparently, even though there is enough room for a big rig, sometimes they run over the curbs and damage the sprinkler or damage the gates, so the apartments don't allow them. So, one of the movers had to drive all the way back, like 20 miles, to their warehouse to get a smaller truck. Anyway, after they get everything loaded, hopefully all our stuff will arrive when they say it will, then we'll have the time consuming but more fun task of unpacking everything.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

Moving is kind of a hassle

funny, you'd think they'd have known which apts didn't allow big rigs or have called the apt in advance to check.
doesn't the apt complex know that without trucks america stops??
Yes, you'd think they would have. I think we told them that they would fit because, yes, they would fit, but unfortunately it's against the policy. The apartments said that the movers should have called to check, so I dunno. Our stuff was picked up, after all, so it should be fine as long as it gets there.
