Check out the size of that guys package!

Yesterday, like pretty much the entire month of June, was a disaster... We were up super late Sunday night finishing packing, Taking apart bikes and mopeds, carrying all the boxes downstairs, and starting to pack the pallets. This morning we started double early finishing packing the pallets. The guy next door to us in the apartment pays for the garage space under our building he was nice enough to let us build the pallets behind his car so we could start the night before and the pallets would be safe Monday night. The only stipulation was that the pallets be gone Tuesday night so he could get out Wednesday morning. That wasn't a problem because the moving company was scheduled to come between four and six Tuesday evening. We built the third pallet on the sidewalk because there was only enough room behind his car in the garage for two pallets.

We finished packing the pallets at about 4:20pm and we had a beer and listened to music on the street while we waited for the moving company. 30 minutes went by, then an hour, and by the time it was 6:30pm we knew something was wrong. I called the moving company and to make a long story short they said they called this morning and left a message that they weren't coming today and that they had to come Wednesday to pick the pallets up.....

We talked to the neighbor explained the situation and asked if he'd mind moving his car now so we could put all three pallets in the garage. He did, but we don't have a pallet jack so we had to break apart the two pallets in the garage and remove all the boxes so he could pull his car out. Then we had to rebuild and re-wrap the pallets. Then we had to push the third one from the sidewalk into the garage. I think Anne has a video, and when she sends it to us we'll post it up.

These are the pictures after the first loading of the pallets while we waited for the moving company NOT to show up.
