Moving

Now that Rowan has a house, I can move! The new place is just a block and a half behind the Harvest coop in Central Square, and it's big and pretty.

Big enough, in fact, that I can have all my stuff in one place again! Currently, I have my day to day living stuff here at [livejournal.com profile] aerynne's condo in Cambridge, about half the rest in boxes in [livejournal.com profile] hawkegirl's garage in Waltham, the overflow of boxes in a PODS storage unit on Bob Antia's property in Lincoln, a few larger items (such as my kitchen table, which will fit in this kitchen!) in Something Something's basement in Somerville, and several bookcases full of books at [livejournal.com profile] estheruth's in Malden. eep!

I already had plans for all the weekends in June long before I knew I'd want to move in June, so I'll probably do it on weekdays. I think the main part will take two days:
  1. Rent a truck, and get everything from Waltham and Lincoln over, probably in two trips, but maybe it'll be possible to do it all in one three-leg trip.
  2. A day or two later, or maybe a week later, move my living space, probably by car. It's only 6 blocks, and I remember from past experience that it only takes about 5 or 6 carloads. Err, or maybe a couple of those have to be vanloads - anyone got a van to lend? It'd suck to try to squeeze a moving truck around these narrow streets and I think it's avoidable for this step.
I'm aiming for June 14, 15, 16 (Wed-Fri). Anyone want to help? Are those dates good? I have the 18th-21st unscheduled too.

Alas, I'll just have left to go back home on the 13th, else I'd put my hand up.

Good luck with it!

Happy good luck moving time. I owe the world tons of moving help, but there's just no way I can be there.

Um, I think I met [livejournal.com profile] bouncingleaf once.

Are you moving in the daytime or in the evening?

If evening, I can help at least one of those days. Keep me posted.

YAYYYYYYY for you! *big hug* wish I could help...

Hihi! It was nice to meet you last night, even if I was loopy and tired. ;) Good luck with your move! I've got one coming up shortly as well.

I am moving to Connecticut to live with my Grandfather. Just as soon as I find a job. :)

Don't forget that you have a box of CDs in the bottom of my closet. Congrats on moving! I can probably help you during the day on Thursday, but not in the evening.
