My Husband Has Lost His Damn Mind

[partiallysunny]

I was pricing Uhauls and was surprised at how inexpensive they were to rent. I've heard horror stories. I texted H and he was shocked that I thought it was cheap...

Seems he was pricing a 26' truck. For a one bedroom apartment.

Hahaha!

I've also had too much caffeine today. I'm thinking about having more.

with a truck that size you will make the move in one trip!

Two trips is for wimps.

26'! It's all about how you pack the truck. I've packed and filled a 26' truck for a 2 bedroom apartment. It was terribly packed. I hired a mover for my last move. He fit my whole place in a 19' truck so organized it was amazing. It was the best money I have ever spent.

We had a 26' U-Haul when we moved from our apartment (2 bedroom, but only 800 sq ft) to our house.

We reserved a 14' truck, but when we got there they had given away our truck. So, they gave us the 26 footer for the same price as the 14'. H trying to drive that thing was hilarious. It was a stick and the clutch was completely shot. It was awesome.

Moving into a third floor walk up apartment was ugly. Moving out of that 3rd floor walk up and into a 3 story townhouse has resulted in me running completely out of fucks to give when it comes to moving my own shit. We're hiring movers next time.

You know, I was amazed at how much stuff I had to move... I didn't really think I took much, but it took almost 3 car loads. Granted I drive a small car, but still, I was amazed. I'll probably rent a truck next time.

Movers are so so so worth it. At least someone (or two) to help you load and unload.

I hope I don't regret this, but I plan on getting a 17'. Or maybe a 20'. I've got two people with trucks who have already offered to help and I plan to drop off as many boxes as I can on my way home from work until the day we move.

I pack well. Hopefully it's be okay. 26' seems crazy to me.

That seems like a lot of truck. I hope you can fit it all in you 16'.
Moving is a big, fat, pain in the ass.
