Moving is the balls

[Caseyelan]

I have this apartment to pack.

That wouldn't be so bad... but I ran out of boxes and Dave has to work all week.

With the baby here, it almost impossible to get all this done.

I have a mover coming on thurs morning. But everything has to be packed and ready to go.

I'm only 30 percent done.

Gun please.

[mikeyboy]

Moving does indeed suck ass.

[Furtherman]

I spent all day Saturday helping a friend move.

He had a lot of heavy stuff.

Did he neglect to tell you about the air hockey table?

[led37zep]

I just moved to NY and have a bunch of those "Space Bag" things if you want them. Let me know if you need them, I can drop them off to Dave. PM me if you're interested.

Whats a space bag?

[JPMNICK]

i am moving friday too... and yes it does indeed suck. all my shit is going in garbage bags, no boxes for me

[Drunky McBetidont]

Whats a space bag?

i think you keep your space balls in it

Whats a space bag?

[Caseyelan]

Now thats just silly!

[bobrobot]

Every move is accomplished 1 box at a time!!!

http://www.thedarkpsyde.com/images/Meditation.jpg

You can do it!!!

[Tall_James]

Now thats just silly!

You need a little silly right now.

That and a shitload more boxes.

[mikeyboy]

Its like a very large Ziplock.

http://www.householdinnovations.co.uk/shop/images/space-bag-before-after1.jpg

We have a bunch of those as well if you need. Just make sure that your moving company will move space bags. Ours didn't and we ended up having to box up the space bags, which is kind of dumb.

[Caseyelan]

I Need Boxes!

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeepy Give Me Boxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxes!

[drjoek]

Why wouldn't a mover move space bags?

[Tall_James]

Why wouldn't a mover move space bags?

They have no access to the correct anti-gravity lift systems needed to move them.

i would say tell dave to grab some from work, but i have a feeling those will be needed to pack up "Frank's Place" since the merger and all.

[Caseyelan]

i would say tell dave to grab some from work, but i have a feeling those will be needed to pack up "Frank's Place" since the merger and all.

They only have small boxes... I asked.

Stupid franks place and their stupid faces and dumb music and sticky hands and beards with lice.

Get Ben Stiller to help.

Back in the day

If something was "the balls" that was a good thing.

You young people now a days with your slang phrases.

[bobrobot]

Home Depot sells book boxes for moving & U Haul type places sell all kindsa boxes & Liquor stores always have boxes!!! Also home Depot sells these bags called Contractor Bags, they are super heavy duty, very large garbage bags for commercial construction. They'd be very helpful to you in a pinch!!!

http://images.orgill.com/200x200/6741904.jpg


I use these A LOT, they rule!!!

[boobieman]

Had to help family move on Saturday...when your moving yourself it sucks...but when it is not your stuff..it sucks even worse.

I help ya but my ball bag hurts from moving god dam refrigerator, and dressers.

What no one ever heard of movers...

Later

SEEYEYEYAYAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[LaBoob]

Casey this might be too late for you... but maybe not for others...

I just found out my friend's mom is moving using one of those Pods. They came and dropped it off in her driveway and whenever she feels like it she's bringing boxes out into it. When they move, the Pods people will take it away and bring it to her new location. Then she can unpack whenever she feels like it. She's renting it for about 2 months and that's all. If I move again anytime soon, this will be the way I do it. Fuck U-Haul... they raped me bigtime last year and I only moved 1/4 mile from where I was!!!

Moving blows... I've moved so many times in the past few years. Now I have a house and don't have to worry about it for a while. I like to think I'll be here for a long time.

However.... Moving is a labor of love... when you're done, you get to set up your new living space for you, your husband, and your baby, and to me, nothing is more exciting than a new space! Painting :wub: Rearranging:wub: Sitting back and enjoying the peace and satisfaction that comes with seeing all of your stuff in a new space that's all yours :wub::wub:

[Jennitalia]

moving sucks monkey balls. but i always found unpacking harder because i never know where to begin.

[Thebazile78]

There are two things about which I usually say I'd rather have a hole in the head than do.

Moving is one.
Puking is the other.

I don't loathe too many things more than those.

You have my sincere sympathies, Casey. Moving truly sucks big floppy donkey dick.

[spadanko]

go to a 7-11 and take the milk crates from outside the store.. free and easy to carry

[weslank]

Go to a big grocery store, go to produce dept. and
ask for their banana boxes---have cut outs on the sides
for easy carrying......good luck

[Rube]

i bet Fred from Brooklyn can help !:laugh:

[sailor]

Did he neglect to tell you about the air hockey table?

want to buy a foosball table? seriously.

[PapaBear]

Liquor stores sometimes give away boxes. They're pretty strong, too.

You'd be better off with the liquor store boxes then the produce department boxes due to bugs may be in the produce boxes. Don't want to introduce insects into your new home

[sailor]

if you go to u-haul or such the boxes aren't that expensive and they'll be new and good quality. and you can return any boxes you don't use, no questions asked.

[ozzie]

So "the balls" is a bad thing now?

[RAAMONE]

get the boxes full so when you pack you can get drunk and eat bananas...it'll make it more fun

[ozzie]

With the baby here, it almost impossible to get all this done.

I have a mover coming on thurs morning. But everything has to be packed and ready to go.

I'm only 30 percent done.

Gun please.

Moving and packing must be stressful enough. I can't imagine trying to get it done while caring for a baby. If you prefer to pack your stuff yourself, at least look for help with Juliana while Dave is at work.

Beanie?

[ravn816]

I've moved 12 times in 10 years, the last one was a year ago. I feel your pain.

If I actually kept any of the boxes you'd be more than welcome to them. But with this last move, me and my husband decided that we're tired and not going to move for 4-5 years for once. Just can't do it.

[RhinoinMN]

get the boxes full so when you pack you can get drunk and eat bananas...it'll make it more fun

My brother in law's creed is for every box you move into the house, you stop and drink a beer.

We don't get much done, but it makes it a lot more fun.

[Caseyelan]

Sheepy got me some boxes.

He really is an angel.:wub:

[Freitag]

When we move, we don't do it in one day. We do it over a few weeks' time. It worked out pretty well last time, and we're planning to do it again. (if we move)

[~Katja~]

My brother in law's creed is for every box you move into the house, you stop and drink a beer.

sounds like my dad and his brother when they tiled our bathroom... every tile deserved a beer and a 20 minute discussion on whether it was straight or not.

[~Katja~]

Sheepy got me some boxes.

He really is an angel.:wub:

only if he helps you pack them

[drjoek]

Um, I REALLY hate that.

We don't get settled into our new place right away and the subsequent stay means we live in squalor because we get used to living out of boxes.

I had the most trouble keeping things neat in dorm rooms that I hadn't organized right away and it's carried over into "real life."

[Drunky McBetidont]

Moving is the balls...

and sitting is the boobs:thumbup:

[ozzie]

I'm taking the Billy Staples defense and pleading "Parallel Writing"!




(or just admit I replied to Casey before reading the whole thread first)

oh - like Popeet.

Moving is a pain. Damn liking the pod idea though - this site is making me smart.

[Sue_Bender]

and sitting is the boobs:thumbup:

And standing is the cock?




I can't crack your formula. :glurps:

[sailor]

this site is making me smart.

fret not.

[Reynolds]

You should hire the guys I hired, they promised to take everything apart, pack it, and put it back together. They broke half my shit, then sent different guys to deliver the shit to my new apartment, and didn't know how to put anything back together. I called the insurance company and they told me they would send someone to inspect in 2-3 weeks, and not to touch or fix anything.

I always used "the balls" to describe something positive

[Caseyelan]

So the move was a disaster.

When I called for the quote I couldnt' have been more specific.
I have 900 bucks.... Do whatever you can do, But I cannnooooottttt exceed that amount.

They moved everything... got paint all over my brand new beautiful crib.... lost about three garabge bags full of our sheets.... and then submitted my CASH ONLY bill at almost 1200... (Not including tip)

WHAT THE SHIT?

I didn't have enough on me and there is nothing worse then having to call my friends over (OH THAT WALLY) to come bail me out.

While they were still unpacking everything I decided to call the office that was nice and sweet pre my move.

I get some puerto rican gum snapping bitch on the phone....

I politely ask her to explain the charges. She is soooo fucking rude I tell her "I am not trying to fight, I just want an explanation as to why I am spending 30 dollars on tape when I had ROLLS of tape at the house which are still unused... also, why am I spending 80 to crate my tv when I wasn't even asked... (fuck, I would have popped that thing in my back seat had I known) etc...

She says: "let me talk to the foreman"

I leave the phone on speaker and give it to him.... This is an exact transcript of the conversation.

Blue: foreman
Red: cunt


jhsefnwefnwoenfoweinfwioenfwejifweniwefni (in some arabic language)

did she sign the fucking papers?

rfhwejofhnowenfownoefiefowienrf


well then fuck her, break her shit and get out of there



*GUY LOOKS AT ME MORTIFIED*

jeklhrlwehrnlnfoweowiemnfowimpm


that woman is such a bitch





He then hands me back my phone and I hang up on her at a loss for words.



ANYHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We are in the new place and lucky for me they broke 80 percent of our appliances.

So I am drinking Sanka (no coffee machine) out of a mug with no handle (broken ceramics ftw!)

I love the new place.

I do. Really. Even though it took a fucking miracle to even get here.

Holy F'in Crap!

That sounds horrible. So sorry you had a bad experience moving. I would say get a lawyer and make them pay for the broken stuff, but it sounds like you have a big enough headache already.

Welcome to Jersey!

[Reynolds]

So, ummm I guess your story beats mine, so I feel... better? Seriously, I know the feeling, they're fucking scumbags

OH MY GOD. If I have a heart attack today I'm blaming this post Casey!!

In that situation I would've asked to speak to her superior, or at the very least made sure I got her name and went down to complain about her in person. For you to overhear her saying

well then fuck her, break her shit and get out of there

is just fucking unbelievable. You HAVE to get this bitch fired somehow! Maybe report them to the Better Business Bureau? I gotta go drink some chamomile tea or something to relax. :furious:

[Caseyelan]

That sucks. I hate when a business just has you fucked.

Moving businesses as stated above can be the worst too. You have to be wary about any business that basically requires a truck and a few guys that just got out of prison.

[dotsncoms]

Phew! sorry to here that. Anyone moving should check out www.uship.com. Here is an example (http://www.uship.com/search/category/Household+%26+Office+Moves/Large+Studio+or+1+BR+Apartment/) of a moving price on uShip.

And consumer protection laws on moving are pathetic. A lot of these companies know they've got your shit in their hands and there's not much you can do about it if they decide to hold on to it.

Next time tell them you only have $600 & they'll charge you $900.
Move all the small breakable stuff yourselves.
I never found my ratchet wrench set from our 2nd last move. I think they sold it at 7 Mile Fair.
I would just look at it as a life lesson & move on.

Did you remember which box you put Julianna in?

Fuck the BBB. Wouldn't intentionally breaking someone's shit be a crime?

Mother fuckers... i'd take a bat to their office...

sorry, and keep us up to date

[Sheila]

my condolences on your move, that has to be the worst experience I've heard! if you want to warn others, maybe you can post on a regional messageboard, i sometimes go to city-data to find out recommendations... maybe you can do a search on "movers" and post your experience, bump those threads...ooo maybe they are on yelp.com? that's mainly restaurants, but hey who knows... they got businesses too...

http://www.city-data.com/forum/

i'd also do the consumerist thing, like the previous poster said...
Hope you enjoy Jersey, neighbor...
