Moving from Provo
« on: July 19, 2005, 02:27:32 PM »
I've been away for a while, partially busy hacking up undead on World of Warcraft and otherwise engaged with figuring out my new job and housing situation. I got a new job up in Sandy a while ago, and I've finally locked down housing in a place on the Sandy/Midvale border.

If things go as planned, I'll be moving this Saturday, on July 19th. Fortunately I don't have all that much to move, so it shouldn't be too hard, but I do have a few items that could cause some trouble. In particular, I have one big wooden computer desk, and a smaller desk that wouldn't fit in my car.

42 suggested getting a U-HAUL truck on a cheap 1-day service term or something like that on the idea that I'd have enough room for everything in one trip. Any other suggestions (or a little help) would be great. I'll post any changes or updates to the move time as information comes in.

.

July 19th is today, Saturday is the 23rd.

Unfortunately, neither I nor Spriggan will be able to help, even though we are your current roommates. Spriggy will be out of town, as you know, and I will be inbetween work shifts.

And since Prom hasn't been to our ward in the past couple of weeks (prefering to check out wards in Sandy), no one in the ward is expecting to help him move. Plus, our singles ward is very transient. About %70 of the members are new.

Renting a Uhaul for an intown move (picking-up and returning the Uhaul at the same store) will cost about $35 ($20 for the truck and $15 for mileage).

I will be happy to help you movie, though my wrists are fairly useless in their current state. Let me know when and where.

The U-haul might be cheaper than gas for multiple trips.

I'm pretty sure I can help.  Call me with details:
send an email to the address on my profile and I'll reply with my phone # if you don't have it, and you can call with details when you get them.

I know you don't know me from Adam, but if by chance you end up moving next weekend (the week I'm down there doing book signings), I'll have time in between stores.  I could help then.  I can always use a bit of exercise...

Ya Prom dosen't have much stuff, if he had everything packed up by the time everyone came over you could have the U-Haul loaded in less then 30 minutes.  I would be there but as 42 said I'm in Ney York that weekend.

New York? New York where? The eastern side, or the western side?

umm not sure exactly where, I do know I'll be in the city for one of those days, but I don't know where I'll be.  I guess you could say "center"?

By "in the city" I presume you mean New York City. Whereas I was talking about the entire state.

Yes I'll be in NYC for one day and the rest of the 2 1/2 days I don't know where I'll be, I'll be staying with relatives who live off by Hilary Clinton.

Ok then. If you're in Western New York (aka Buffalo) you're more than welcome to give me a buzz or something. I'd be more than happy to show you around.

Sounds good, though I don't know if we'll make it over there since I'm not there for more then a few days.  But if we do I'll post here that we are.

OK so I didn't know what day it was....

Anyway, I got sick on Wednesday and delayed in replying until today because I was hoping I'd be better. I'm going to push the move date back though. I'll post again when I find out more. Thanks for the support so far.

Well, miscellaneous delays in my moving date aside, I now have the apartment key for my new place, and I'm ready to go! I'll probably move some boxes and things like that up just as I go to work each day, so the main thing I'll need will be to move my two desks. (Which wouldn't fit easily in my little blue car)

Sounds like I better call U-HAUL up. I'll be planning to do the desk move on this Saturday, on the 30th. (Actually checking which day Saturday was for a change)
