Pre-Move

We have begun the move to the new apartment. We brought over a Monet print that we had framed and hung it in the living room of the apartment. Then we ran over to Home Depot to have some tile re-cut to fix the backsplash in the kitchen. Unfortunately, the Home Depot we went to no longer does tile cutting. So, we bought a tile nipper and between the nipping and some sanding, we got the tile to fit. Kerry then installed it and grouted it all up. It turned out great. At first she was concerned it wouldn't look good. Then we decided that it only had to look good enough and darned if it didn't turn out darn nice.

We then took a couple of car loads of Kerry's shoes and clothes over first. The Rav hadn't moved all week and it tends to be fussy starting in the morning when it's cool out and if it has rained recently. I don't know what's up with that. Eventually, by 11:30 a.m., the day had warmed up enough and the Rav started up allowing us extra hauling capacity.

We made a couple other trips hauling over some of my clothes, some toiletries and a couple more loads of Kerry's stuff. We snapped up three storage lockers (we might only need two but no one else is using any of them). There is some damage we need to note on the move in check list but it's an OK apartment if a little dated. Worst of all, there is no cable outlet in the bedroom. Oh, the humanity!

So, I still need to box some small stuff up and bring it to the apartment. Probably some kitchen items that won't be used next week, some of the smaller pictures and maybe the videos and whatnot. We can bring more stuff over Sunday.

Then Hersh and Purva picked us up and took us to the White Sox game. It was a nice break. We're glad they'll be our "neighbors" in the new place.
