Packing Up

It has been a little over a month since we have been living full-time in New York. Our house in Vermont sold, so we have been busy packing up one house and unpacking at another. With our house sold in Vermont, we hired a moving company to bring the bulk of our furniture – which took 3 loads. We had a terrible experience with the moving company, seeing as the initial quote they gave was 3 times less than what they actually charged. When we questioned them about the change in price, they threaten to dump our stuff in a field in the middle of Vermont. On the day of delivery, the movers quickly unpacked the moving vehicle and in the process ruined or broke various pieces. The movers put a finger through a very expensive Hudson River painting that was given to us and also dropped a large antique dollhouse breaking pieces of the roof. We were beyond happy to see them back down the driveway.
