Wait... You want WHAT?!

(Day by Day Recount Sept 29th)

So we hired these individuals recommended by the storage owner who said they'd work for $10 a hour... We called and called till we finally got them... Which was not easy.  They wanted $50 a hour.. Yah no, your unemployment didnt mean you were worth more then the professionals that covered damage to our stuff.  So they wanted $25 (keep in mind they wanted this for EACH PERSON and there was 3 so from $150 a hour down to $75)  Still no.  Two men and a truck was $50 a hour for 2 guys... so we told them $200 in cash 5 hours.  They took it...

Well the day comes and... Guess what detail they didnt mention?  We were suppose to provide a trailer or Uhaul..  Wait, what?  EXCUSE ME?!  You want us to go RENT a Uhaul or trailer when we pay you to move us?  They didnt even have a truck it was sedan!  And they tell us 30 minutes before we meet up with them when mom calls to confirm the meeting "Oh right, bring the uhaul with you" and naturally... She was ticked.. I was ticked.  Josh was ticked...  Dont forget a HUGE detail like that and then drop a bombshell.. just.. UGH!

So we call 2 men in a truck.. Lady one tells us travel is free!  Thats great, because they are a hour a way so it saves us $100.  Call cuts out, call back... Did you know they got commissions off setting orders?  Yah... The new lady refused to honor that free travel because if they charge it she gets a extra $10... and we say we need them for 2 hours and she keeps insisting "No, for a whole house you need them atleast 7 hours with travel!" 

Like really... We told you we only want them 2 hours to move really heavy things just across the road.

THEN she says WERE being angry and unreasonable when we were actually quite calm thinking "Whatever, we just want it done."  Oh yah.. after the last month hell broke loose...

Needless to say.. Mom spent a few hours cussing out people while I looked for possibly options.  Luckily my Dad and uncle came by for their part of the estate and old things that were in attic... Hello free movers!

So my dad and uncle spent 3 days straight helping us move stuff to storage, taking stuff to their place, and what have you... We were doing that till Oct 4th (the day we were leaving) at 5 pm before they bailed...

So we went and got the van and used it to move the last of it and then we loaded all the camper stuff which was half the van (Phew!).. Then cleaning.. More break downs... We all thought we'd grab some dinner on the way... Hah nope, its now 9 pm and were just starting to load the dogs...  Mom looks at me and says "All the dogs can fit!"  and you know what.. it wasnt easy...

But we'll go into that hell next time...!
