The "Do-It-Yourselvers"

Well, as Dooce would say it, our family is "the valedictorian of the do-it-yourself," so we had to go and "do-it-ourselves" all over again this time, contrary to what I thought might happen. The good thing is that it's going to save us between 1,500 and 2,000, depending on the company we would have hired for the move.

At the last minute, just before K decided to go with one of the companies he'd gotten quotes from, he called a friend, who told him about this company that he used when he moved from California to PA two years ago. The suggestion saved the day, erm, our pockets. We'll have up to five days to fill the truck and three days to empty it. Wish us luck!

We'll be enlisting the help of friends and family and taking advantage of the Memorial day holiday, so it should be fine. Now all we need to do is to sign a lease on Monday and we'll be all set for moving again.

Upcoming: photos of home renovation projects (it's now or never! ;-).
