The first time we got rid of a lot of stuff we thought could be easily replaced in our new home, packed ourselves, and hauled it all in a U-Haul. Huge Pain in the Rear there. When you move across country with a family and pets the last thing you want to do is unpack the U-Haul and try to find your stuff. <br /><br />Replacing things is a chore too. I regret to this day (8 years later) many of the things we got rid of that I haven't found suitable replacements for, things like pitchers and cookware, and decorator knick-knacks that I didn't realize I would miss as much as I do. <br /><br />The second time we bought rubbermaid containers for everything, didn't get rid of things we thought we could replace (why buy things two and three times? who needs that expense?), packed it ourselves, and hired Bekins to haul it and to deliver on a certain date. It was amazing and so much easier. <br /><br />If we ever moved again (We certainly don't plan on it) I would go this route again. Things like our washing machine, dryer, and sofa added maybe $20 to our total Bekins bill and could not be replaced for that kind of money. Plus we lived on a third floor walk up and hauling that stuff down the stairs and 500 feet to the parking lot was more than I wanted to contemplate. The rubbermaid containers are great because they protect the contents better than a crushable or damp packing box. <br /><br />I loved the freedom of not hauling our own stuff, we were able to drive up and stop and visit places along the way and make it a relaxing, not stressful, event.<br /><br />Good luck on your move! It's certainly a harrowing experience! <br /><br />~Kelli @ SmidgensKelli78noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751321971481045899.post-370408966671266482010-05-12T09:06:05.898-06:002010-05-12T09:06:05.898-06:00Stopping by from SITS to say Hi!
