28' trailer dropped right after 8AM. No refer hand truck or tie down straps included, though ordered. Called dispatch a bit ago, he said he'd have them out to me within the hour. We'll see. Driver was great, parked it perfectly and got it almost level, helped set up the loading ramp, and all good! Already loaded the spare bedroom mattress/box spring and dresser. Already loaded the defrosted (and @ outside temp) freezer. Then loaded it (the freezer) with all my pantry stores (food), odd shaped/hard to pack kitchen appliances (crock pot, blender, toaster oven, toaster, can opener, etc). Soon as I get the heavy duty hand truck, I'll get my big side-by-side refer (been sitting in the garage for 3 years - but tested and still works great!) loaded in and then fill it with all my plates, glasses, mugs, and kitchen ware/utensils. After that I hope to get both dressers and bedside end tables from the master BR loaded. Oh, I also have a massively heavy 5 drawer filing cabinet in the garage I'd really like to get loaded today.
In the big picture view, I doubt I'll have any problem getting completely packed out with room and time to spare. Though I contracted for 17' of truck space, looking at it, I don't know that I'll use it all so I asked will I get a credit for the space I don't use and was told that I would.
Less is more!
Still no appraisal to my lender. She has calls out to try and find out what's going on. If she hadn't heard back from the appraiser by lunch, she was going to go direct to the VA. My REA is checking with the seller and his agent about the feasibility of me doing a short term lease so I can move into the property basically shortly after I get there; say Monday. That would work out so good for me! Cheaper than a hotel bill, and I can get a washer and dryer ordered/installed as well as a new stove, dishwasher etc. I'm still debating on whether to use the refer discussed above, or just put that one out in the shed and get a new one. Probably use it till it dies... I have other things that I need to spend money on... Like a tractor with a bucket and bush hog as well as other implements...
Wish they'd get that hand truck here...
