July 29, 201214 yr About five years ago, I moved three times within the span of four months. Since then, I've been at the same place, but the opportunity arose to get a place closer to work, with more space and just better all-around conveniences. But I'm remembering why I hate moving. Packing up dusty books, taking long breaks to sneeze and catch my breath from the reaction to the dust. I'm really not looking forward to moving these records. I am excited about moving to the new place. It has an actual yard.
July 29, 201214 yr I agree JS, it sucks. I've moved into my condo, moved out due to fire and then move in again. All of this with little help. Add in 37 steps to the top floor and I'm dreading when we move out again. I know one thing, I have a 32" tube TV in the bedroom and that thing is being sold with my unit. I'm not kidding the thing weighs 200 pounds and it's impossible to get a good grip on the thing. When we first moved it my buddy and I crashed at the 17th step and luckily our 2nd floor neighbor heard the thud and helped us up the remaining steps. When we moved back in after the fire I dreaded the thought of hauling it back in. Well we got it up into the condo and by the time we made it in the darn thing hit the wall and took a big gash out of my freshly painted walls. I'll make sure I envite any and all BGP members for the next move and I will provide fine liquid bread.
July 29, 201214 yr Author I've got a 36" Sharp tube TV in the garage that usually makes my guts squirm every time I have to move it. Ugh.
July 29, 201214 yr I "volunteered" to help my girlfriend move tomorrow... :ohbrother: I feel your pain. As if there was even a choice in the matter.

July 30, 201214 yr That's why this guy bribes his help with honey creole baby-back ribs. I think you need to delay your move a week.
