Sunday was our first night at the apartment. We spent the afternoon cleaning, went grocery shopping and did some much needed laundry. Dinner was none the less Pizza! We slept on the camping air mattress.
We expected the movers between 11 & 1, so at 10:45 we were wondering if they were going to be on time. Brian looked at his watch and we realized that it was an hour too early. I set the alarm clock an hour earlier than I should have! So, we took a nap.
The movers showed up at 11 sharp. Brian stood outside in the cold for 3 hours while I watched the door to the apartment. The move went well, EXCEPT when the mattress was coming in they drug it across the floor!!! I saw it happen and looked at the floor right away. So, I told the crew that they scratched the floor and showed them. They looked at me like I was crazy! They kept telling me no, no, no. I said "new floor", no scratches. Then they said yah, shook their heads, and looked at the swiviling trail from the front door to the bedroom as I showed them. They knew they made a big boo boo once they got down and felt it. After all furniture and boxes were in the apartment, the "lead" of the move came to take a look at the floor. He told us that a mattress would not have done this. Well it did!!! I watched it happen. When he finally realized that the floor was new, the floor in the rest of the apartment had no scratches, dents etc., we started the damage claim paperwork. He turned to the crew, exchanged a couple of words in a not so nice tone and the crew left. We told our landlord and he was to say the least, not very happy. I wonder why?? Well on the bright side, nothing (that we have unpacked so far) was broken.
Yeah!
It was was wonderful to sleep in our bed last night!
Now on to Christmas decorating!
Below are pics of our place without furniture.
Chillin' at the entrance...
This is an incense holder. The smoke comes out of the computer.
Yes, they have mimes here too! I caught him on break :)
The Ferris Wheel. Yep, no motor.
