We were up at a fairly good time to get the apartment ready for moving as best we could.
We walked up to Home Depot to get a few things we needed and then went to pickup our U-Haul.
We got to the U-Haul place but our self pickup wasn’t working so we had to call support for them to assist.
We eventually got our van and drove back to our apartment to pickup the sofa.
We had to sell the sofa as it was too big, so we took it to the buyer!
We then went from there out to Burnaby where we picked up a new, smaller, vintage sofa which is super comfy!
We then drove back to the apartment and loaded as much as could into the van.
We drove to our new apartment and parked in the loading bay and got unloading!
It took us quite a bit of time, but that was the bulk of the items in.
Unfortunately, our bed cannot be dismantled enough and we don’t think it will fit into any transport easily or fit in the elevator! We therefore left the bed at the old place (which we still technically occupy for the next couple of weeks) and we will be sleeping on mattress until we can get a new bed frame.
We had to go back and get another load of items and load those into the new apartment.
We then took the U-Haul back and went and got the car to do a couple of smaller rounds of deliveries.
In total, it took us around 8/9 hours to get it all in!
We then started unpacking and Curtis plugged in the WiFi router, but it didn’t seem to work! After doing some testing for a while, it definitely didn’t work so he contacted the company and they will come and fix tomorrow between 13:00-15:00, so no work for Curtis until it is fixed tomorrow.
We got a lot of stuff unpacked but then got very hungry, at 22:00, so walked to our favourite pizza place (it’s about a 5 minute walk now, so very dangerous!) And got some pizza and had that with some wine.
We got the bed (mattress) made and finished our wine whilst getting a few other things packed, but we were so tired so just had to sleep.
We can show off the apartment tomorrow when we get it all unpacked, but we really like it so far!
