Godfather Part V.

So we are all moved in. Why no posts? Well its complicated you see. At some level I could bore you with an absurd level of detail about what is going on. Instead I choose to summarize it in an easy to consume (but not pill shaped) dose.

1. We are moved into our new house
2. The house is great, but will need some work (Ikea kitchen here we come)
3. We have a pile of boxes, I suspect, that may never get opened. They are all in the garage.
4. And yes, the movers did a super crap job

As we speak, negotiations are in progress but I suspect that is going to be a long drawn out scene from Godfather Part V. Lots of funny accents and strong arming us into accepting bugger all. So in case we do speak to you here's another quick summary. Please answer, when we speak next wirt "yes, I known, please don't go over it again".

1. If you recall, we departed 24 hours late from North Carolina. Too little staff to pack too much crap (sorry stuff)
2. The delivery schedule changed a bunch of times, but we got our requested delivery span eventually
3. On our first day we picked, no word from the driver or moving company until the afternoon. "So sorry, but we can't deliver until the next day. And please give us an extra $1600 since we under estimated your move by 20%. We can't deliver until you pay."
4. No planning on the delivery front. Driver thinks he needs to rent a smaller truck to shuttle our goods, he can't get a freekin' huge semi-truck up our hill. Oh, he does not have a credit card to rent a truck.
5. Me find truck. Me ring driver. Driver goes to hire truck. Driver show up 7 hours late at 6pm to deliver. Me very sad.
6. Midnight they finish unloading
7. Furniture trashed in the move, art work packed without wrapping. Very annoying

So we shall see. Please bear with us if we repeat this over the coming weeks/months. 

For future reference? Skip multiple vendors. Go with a big name that you deal with end-to-end. Its like the twisty-turny-passages-that-are-all-the-same from Adventure (they oh so cool 70's mainframe game). Oh god, will it ever end?
