Holy cow- a new baby and a new house, all in the same month! Hopefully you've got a line of friends with trucks, willing to lend a hand in the move?

Holy cow- a new baby and a new house, all in the same month! Hopefully you've got a line of friends with trucks, willing to lend a hand in the move?
I've got probably about 10 people from work, a few friends who are local, and maybe 2 or 3 from the forum who have offered to help so far.Quote:

You may want to start a thread, asking for assistance. In my experiences of moving, over half the people that volunteer to help never show. That would also be the time to put if you need moving boxes, moving vehicles and so on. Mrs. HB should be relegated to supervision of where things are put in the new house, instead of worrying about rustling lunch. Does she have any help during this move? (I don't mean to be bossy- I've experienced a number of household moves, and learned from each one.)Quote:

It's going to be a super-easy move. We're going about 10 minutes up the road. Everything will already be boxed up and ready to go, and I will have already moved quite a bit of it by myself. The biggest thing we'll need help with is the heavy furniture like our bedroom set, the treadmill, refrigerator, etc. I have a 16 ft long enclosed trailer.... so that will help a lot.Quote:

Good deal. :) I hadn't realized you work with military folks. That's awesome that you'll have your own home, especially with a new baby on the way. When we moved into our home, all we could think of was, "What took us so long?"Quote:

And I have to keep telling Mrs HoneyBadger to sit back and relax because she wants to do everything still. She's already packed up a bunch of boxes and our garage is about half full of stuff that is ready to go. Don't kid yourself though... she is still incredibly spry: she still runs about 30 miles a week... which is more than me or any other sane person! lol
