Finally we're out of that pestilential space plagued by the owners' greed and bully. There are still follow-ups with that place etc. (cleaning, moving small scattering stuff and our bikes, dealing with issues) but at last we are out of there. What a relief!
The movers came on time, arriving at 10:25am (scheduled for 10-10:30). They estimated to finish in 4 hours, 2 to load and 2 to unload. They said townhouse is hard to get in because of the turns with tight stairwells. Two of them are experienced and very tall (for our standard). Eventually they lifted most of the big stuff to the second floor balcony so the queen mattress and big book shelf didn't have to go through such turns etc. When they finished in 4 hours, I praised the accuracy of the estimate, and he said it's luck, because the other experienced one came instead of a preassigned young and small mover, who would not have been able to do the lifting and picking up (what they called throw) through the second floor balcony. So cool!
What we appreciated first and foremost is that now each room has temperature control, and we no longer have to worry about kids walking or talking bothering downstairs. SO thankful that we cannot stop appreciating it. This way we're able to use our living room and other space much more than before, since in that old place most of the time we huddled in the kitchen where it was the warmest. I'm also really glad to get out of the suburbial neighborhood to move into a much more community-based place. The board of directors came by to say hi, and one introduced the kids to play together. We really look forward to being part of the community here, and I really look forward to gardening! I hope for once we'll be able to have lavender at our place.
