Hip, Hip Hooray, Moving Day

This is clear back in October, but it is just as exciting to think back to that moment as it was on that day. We asked a man if he knew anyone with a truck and he showed up with a big truck and two other men. Every time I tried to help they took things out of my hands. It was heavenly. They even insisted on packing the under the counter shelves in the kitchen. I had saved them until last because of the bug situation.
Even the giant bed made it trough the door. Three trips went well and the men handled the stairs all the way to the fourth floor. The bed was on the last load. It was too big for the elevator and too wide for the stairs. The men pulled gigantic ropes out of the truck and with lots of effort...

The bed...
Traveled up the outside to the top of the building and we slept well that night in our new home.

you could be on the amazing race--I think the bed hoisting was one of their international challenges...

So glad you found such a great place.

I saw movers doing the same thing in Paris when Guillermo and I were there.
