We have the mortgage and are going down to close a week from Monday. It turns out we are literally around the block from where the mother of Casper's twin friends grew up, and where the grandparents still live. Twins' mother can't say enough good things about the neighborhood.
The contract movers seem very competent, but they are also full of rules. They can't move anything liquid, anything flammable, or open food. So we'll have to ditch or transport ourselves everything from nail polish remover to candles to batteries to spices to bleach to bins of flour. Ugh. Plants. So many things.
Also, they can't promise how long it will be after they pack us up that our stuff will actually arrive in GA, and they won't be able to tell us until the day they pack. They said 2-6 days. Two would be fine, but SIX is a lot. Six would mean 5 nights camping out in our house, and then only 4 days to unpack before mr. flea starts work.
Given these two situations, we'll probably be packing the car full when we go down to close - complete set of towels, shower curtain, dishes and silver, anything on the no-ship list we can live without for 3-4 weeks and can fit.
I lie awake worrying about this move every night now.
