I had no idea either... And its a Super Wal-Mart! Closes at midight apparently.

 

Well, according to your timetable, you were there an hour before closing!

The on at the old Bashford Manor isn't 24/7.

 

That's exactly the one it was. :irked:

:lol: I was doing my "timeline" off the top of my head... I remember looking at the clock in the parking lot and it was like 12:07. I was frustrated to say the least.

I think you need to delay your move a week.

 

Too late. I was originally going to move this coming weekend, but the landlord threw me a curveball and I had to do it yesterday and today. I am thinking about BBQing this coming weekend, though. The new pad is a lot better suited for entertaining than the old place, although I'll miss the garage.

Finally finished everything up yesterday. Next step is to clean the new place and unpack. While a laborious process -- I'm still cramping a bit from sweating so much -- I'm now enjoying some of the fruits of the labor by posting from the porch overlooking my back yard, two features conspicuously absent from the old place. I will miss the garage, though ...

I just finished moving yesterday. It was a grueling 3 day process using an SUV and only 1 roommate to help move 4 people's items. We went from a fairly nice apartment complex that was really expensive to a much cheaper, much nicer, much larger home off of Polo Club Blvd. The extra drive to class will be well worth it. I'm excited to see what it looks like once everything is unpacked and set up the way we want it.

 

Also, my dog finally had a yard! I'm sure he'll love it when I bring him back to Lex this weekend.

The on at the old Bashford Manor isn't 24/7.

 

 

It used to be. It seems some of their late night customers were a rough crowd causing problems so they decided to end the 24/7 and close at midnight.

DUH....next you'll tell us that the late night White Castle patrons may have been drinking.

I dislike moving as much as the next guy.

I refuse to help people move. I hired folks when I moved 18 years ago. I have a truck and a Trailer so I get the call all of the time. I used to be OK letting them take the truck until a niece borrowed it and would not let me use her car for the day! She had a new car that was worth less than my truck at the time, but didn't want anyone touching her 'baby'. I've since upgraded my truck to a brand new one and really don't want folks hauling their crap in it.

That being said, my in laws are in the process of cleaning out the mother in laws house. 50 years worth of crap that they need to dump. The one brother dials me up to help. Hard to say no. I go down and proceed to fill a big trailer full of garbage. As we are doing so, the oldest sister comes in telling us not to throw away half the crap because "someone may want it" or it would be worthy of going to good will. I just started piles for each family for them to review. They had their chance for me to haul it away, good luck getting me down there again. One sister has a huge amount of crap stored there. She will have a lot of fun moving that in her Honda.

By the way, the next day my sinuses were an absolute train wreck. Dusty, moldy basement. Not good!

 

Thanks for letting me rant, I feel so much better now.

Have a nice day.

I am strange, but I enjoy helping others move. At least the larger things. I refuse to package up plates or pick up the little things, but moving around boxes and furniture I will do all day long.

That's exactly the approach I took with my girlfriend last weekend. I sat on the couch while they boxed everything up. Then when we got the truck for the big stuff, I went to work.

The report I read was the Bashford Manor Wally World was having quite a bit more shop lifting than a typical one and cutting off late hours helped quite a bit. Again, that was just one report I saw.
