Finally settling in

It's been a bit tiring the past few days. The movers arrived Wednesday morning, but the huge semi-truck couldn't get into the apartment complex - not enough room to manuever (just for the record, there were 4 households of stuff in the truck; our things were only a quarter of the load). So we used a smaller rented truck to shuttle things from the United Van Lines yard a couple of miles away. That took from about 8:30am until 3pm.

Next we signed all the papers saying we had our stuff, the moving crew took off, and now the real fun began. We had just over 3 hours to get a fully-packed 16-foot truck unloaded into a 10-foot by 10-foot storage unit. This was all the stuff that we knew we couldn't fit into a 2-bedroom apartment. The load included a very heavy upright piano, a washer and drier, a treadmill, a Bowflex, a dresser, a workbench, and countless boxes of books, record albums, etc., etc., etc. We didn't get it done :(

So...we hauled the rest of the stuff back to the apartment and unloaded it so I could get the truck returned, and we collapsed into bed.

But now (Sunday) after a weekend of toil, all but one or maybe two boxes are moved to storage, the rooms are pretty much in order, and we finally got to enjoy a Florida evening. Here are some pics.
