TBH, until we moved two years ago I didn't know that movers were offering packing too. Moreover, big companies were uninterested in us when they realised that we do our packing.
However, loading, moving and unloading I would not be able to do myself even if I wanted to. The key is to find good movers.
You again.
Once again, you make a distinction between smoky and peaty.
When I am in duty free in December, if they have Bowmore 18, I am going to get it, so I can compare & contrast it with Talisker 18. |
Same here. Plus I'd end up telling everyone what they have to do, plus they'd do it wrong anyway (feel the overcontrolling freak here ... ???
), so I'd rather do it myself. I packed also everything a year ago when we moved from Germany, and we did not lose anything. The movers dropped a box with wine glasses, so there was broken stuff, but nothing lost. This year, I am carrying the boxes every day from one house to the other (2 streets further) and am packing out everything that can already be packed out.
Ergo: our kitchen (with all glasses
) has as of today "migrated" to around 90%, all our hanging clothes are hanging in the new house. We are left here with toiletries, some clothes, some plates and such, our personal papers, our electronics, the school stuff, one box of toys for each kid. Next Saturday the movers are moving the furniture, by the end of next week I should be done unpacking.
It does not look as if almost everything is in the new house because all closets here in the rental house are empty now but the "stuff" lying around still is (lying around), but that is the superficial stuff. Every wardrobe, every closet, every kitchen drawer, every shelve is empty.
Control freak in me is happy.
