I just got on my house last week. I close on August 4, and vacate by August 31. ;D
I am taking a huge loss on my initial purchase, but I'll be out from under the house, not have to worry about the AC, water heater, or well pump going out, not have to worry about my yard, have water from the taps that I can drink and won't turn everything yellow, have a good-size chunk of money in the bank, and have my financial flexibility again. So, I'm very happy.
So, remember that fun move to get everything into my house? I'll need some help getting everything back out again.
Well, not everything. The washer and dryer are staying in the house (which I'm sure Jeremy is glad to hear). I'm currently looking at apartments and availability dates, but I should have at least a week, possibly 3+, between renting an apartment and vacating my house, so I should have plenty of time to move the smaller stuff myself.
What I am asking for is help moving the bigger items: sofa, love seat, easy chair, coffee table, dining room table, wall locker, bed, dresser, and, of course, bookshelves. I promise, this time I will have plenty of Gatorade on hand (perhaps a six-pack or two as well...), and of course I'll buy lunch for everyone.
I'm thinking August 20 or 27 (Saturdays). Can anyone give me a hand?
Thanks.
P.S. I have/will update the Moving Sale post. If there's anything anyone's interested in, please make me an offer. Please. I can even offer delivery (on the move date, if I y'all give me a hand).
