but it was another stressful day.
The movers arrived on time and unloaded most of the stuff OK but then took over two hours to turn the big truck around in order to get out. The lawn is rather ripped up.
The only major catastrophe in the move was our big dining room table which arrived in about ten pieces! Totally destroyed. I have a picture of it for the insurance but it's rather upsetting so I'm not going to post it. There were a few other chips and bumps but nothing too obvious. Of course, we haven't unpacked everything yet by any means.
Our major worry was that there would be so many boxes and things all over the house that we wouldn't be able to move around for them. Generally though we seem to have been fairly successful in our culling of things before the move and it looks like everything will fit in OK. The only major area where we've got way too many things is the kitchen.
So, first night in our new home. We went out for dinner since we are fairly disorganized kitchen-wise and are now sitting in front of the TV watching trash stuff and drinking wine until we are ready to fall asleep.
Tomorrow, Sarah and Joshua arrive for a week. My plan is to go get a couple of kayaks and some other essential things (chest of drawers, storage shelves, etc.) from Halifax on my way to pick them up from the airport. weather forecast for tomorrow is 30C+ and sunny. But that was the forecast for today too and it mostly just rained!
