Pre move-in jitters

So today's the first cloudy (maybe rainy too?) day we've had here in Seattle, and Andy and I are sitting reading/working with a bit of apprehension. The moving truck guys are supposed to deliver our truck at 5pm, and it's now 3. We're not sure whether they're going to unhitch and leave it to unload at our leisure, or maybe help us unload it quickly and get it off the street. While it's their responsibility to figure out where to park the thing, it could be quite tricky! Luckily, our friends Colin & Brad may be able to assist with their pickup trucks.

Pictured below: 1) The moving truck, as shot from our old apt in NY/the cottage. Notice how big it is next to Andy's Toyota Matrix! There was no ramp to get stuff up into this thing. 2) Ken & Andy finishing up the loading of the 8' allotment we had in the back of the truck. [All tidy, thanks to Ken's great help- and only using up 6'!] 3) The nice little house where we'll have our basement apartment. [Remember- click on any picture to enlarge!] 4) The sreet context- maybe they'll park it across the street?? Envision Kate & Andy scurrying across with their couch/mattress...

  1. so... 1 hr 40 mins after they said they'd be here, no one has showed and no one has called. The sun has come out and Brad and Colin have showed. Parking is ok on our side of the street, but we don't know how much room the bus stop at the corner should be taking up because the paint has worn off. Ironically, both of Brad & Colin's trucks broke down today & had to go into the shop. Bummer! But good friends waiting along with us are a blessing. It will all work out!
