ben Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 You'd think it would be simple - everything packed up in advance, all you need to do is go and rent a truck, take everything down to it (fatal miscalculation there, I'm on the 5th floor with no elevator) - then drive it 30 mins to its destination... That's it. I'd allowed 2 hours - 30 mins to get the truck, 45 mins to pack, 30 mins to move it, then 15 or so to get back... But no.... 2 hours - 2 HOURS! Just to walk up and down the stairs to fill it - followed by a 2 HOUR traffic jam to take it across the bridge.... Unloading - 15 mins. And the drive back (by which time the road was clear) - 25 mins. Add on some faffing about and everything and the total time was 6 hours. My friend hates me - I told him I only had 4 boxes. As you can clearly see, I did - 3 white and 1 blue .... plus everything else... Haha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udtrev Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 On the plus side humping that lot down the stairs is great for keeping fit - although your legs (knees in particular) might not agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udtrev Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm confused, surely it should take no time to empty the place - your friend can catch can't he ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 He did suggest that, but then, by the time we got to the bottom, I reckon the locals would have made off with everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udtrev Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I meant he stays at the bottom to catch your stuff that you drop from the top but then again it would be a hell of a way for him to learn that you are doing weight lifting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwhite36 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Oh, the joys of moving lol. Good thing it's not something you have to do every day! Then, it would REALLY be a headache! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
