“Hey, let’s save a few bucks, let’s have a bit more money to put in as equity on the new place! Let’s … MOVE OURSELVES! We can just rent a truck, pack everything in it, it’ll be no big deal.”
Bollocks.
If you’re ever thinking about doing this, and you own a reasonably large amount of stuff, for-fucking-get about it.
Anyway, it’s all done now, we’re installed in the (temporary) shelter of Annette’s parents place (Kick ass! If only they had a _basement_ we could live in, just to complete the loser no-hoper cliche!) until the new apartment is built. We’re in, my computer works, and we’ve had DSL installed.
Shifting into the apartment in a couple of months.
This time, I’ll happily pay for movers.

Moving is the most horrible thing ever. First you think packing is bad, and tehn you realise you have to un-pack.

There’s nothing like the satisafaction of watching someone else carrying big pieces of furniture like couches, bookshelves and pinball machines up multiple flights of steps and into your lounge.

Well, we can recommend Crown for moving lots of schtuff – really efficient and helpful, and our houseload got here with no damage at all. They weren’t the cheapest we were quoted (NZ Van Lines were better) but they impressed us with their professionalism from the word go.
