Landlord sounds like a real "gem" (NOT)!

You need to round up some of your 6-Year Friends and ask for some seroius HELP!

* Won't someone "loan" you a spare bedroom for a while?
* Rent a couple mini-storage rooms and ask Friends to help you haul your "stuff" there ...
* Then use the mini-storage rooms to sort and box the stuff
* The Movers can come to the mini-storage room to box and move out the "stuff" that goes

BEST of Luck to you that things will work out!

Prayers on their way!

Thanks Phred!

I have had several offers of help, but with so much personal property to go through and sort out, it's difficult to delegate to other people.

Cam's best friend Tom, who lives 2 houses away, has been a real sweetheart today - helping carry boxes etc. I think on moving day I will call a couple of Cam's friends to help out - some strong and energetic teenagers will be a great help!

I have had several offers of a bed / room, but the real problem is all our stuff - a 6500 square foot house takes a LOT of packing up. Also the company who are storing all my furniture will not inventory and insure it unless THEY personally pack it -and they aren't available until the 13th...

I have realised that this is not a time to be proud and independant - I'll be calling in favors wherever I can, to get enough helping hands to sort this mess out!!

But THEY don't have to "start" in the old house ...
they can sort, inventory, and pack from a neighbor's garage,
or a couple of mini-storage rooms!

Good Lord, Julie, I am so sorry about this mix up.

(Proof positive that people only ever think of themselves.

)
Prayers and best of luck with what you need to do. And remember, "This too, shall pass".

Oh Julie!! It sounds beyond horrible, and is so stressful on you!

No wonder if you're freaking out. I really hope you can get all your friends together to help, and find storage.

Just an idea, but could you possible rent the empty house down the road for the rest of the month?

Wishing you all the best of luck, and lots of hugs.

I'm so sorry things are so messed up right now.This is so wrong to be put in the middle of this without any help close by.If this were a company
move I would have your husband ask them for help extending your stay
until you get things sorted out.Prayers on the way & here's a big hug,((HUG))
