Well, it's official, the McMean Clan is moving!     

http://s887.photobucket.com/albums/ac77/McMean/Scollard/

It's about 2k up the road from where we are, so girls can keep going to the same school.  I'll get to the important part....basement has 2 sections, a finished part that's 12 x 27, and an unfinished part that makes an L shape. The top of the L is 17x21, and the bottom of the L is 24x11.  LOTS of room.  For now, I'm going to put pins and vids in the finished part (because we don't have enough furniture for the upstairs, never mind the downstairs) and when I finish the other part a bit I'll take it over.  But according to the boss, the entire basement is MINE, ha ha.
And that's just for the BASEMENT, because I now have 1/2 a double car garage for repairs - no more stairs unless I want to keep it.  Woot woot!

Daniel

Exactly !  I don't have a 2-car garage....I have a 20 pin garage !

Enjoy your new space, Daniel.  No more whining about having no room !!!

And by the way, I'm busy the day you're moving.

Thanks all.  We get possession on June 11th, and have about 2 weeks to get out of this house.  I have a 4 yr old and an almost 6 yr old, so the idea of moving house all on one day kind of gives me heart palpatations.

As for a 2 car garage.... we only have 1 car and I can't see that changing for quite a while.  That's how I know I have half a 2 car garage all to myself..    

Pretty darned excited!  And for all you local friends of mine..... I'm hiring movers.  Yes, I can move myself and save a few hundred bucks.  But really... I'm past the point of calling up buddies and asking them to move for a few beers and pizza.  The only thing I'm moving myself are some of my pins.. the ones I'd be emotionally crushed if they got damaged.  I have a piano, for crying out loud.
Daniel

Make sure you do your homework on the movers.  There was a report that came out, or was at least in the news, yesterday.  I think movers have always been a shady profession, seems like more are pushing the limits.  Google for details.

I'd ask for a full quote, not an hourly rate as the overtime rate is generally ridiculous, or add a couple hours onto the estimate.  Also note that most companies charge the hourly rate from once the truck leaves the compiund, until it returns, so if they are an hour from your house, that's 2 hours of their 'moving' rate for driving.  If you go the hourly option, have them estimate the travel time and agree on it versus the actual time, or give you a reduced rate for travel time.  They could be 'stuck in traffic' for some time.  The last movers we had claimed that (driving from house to house) and yet showed up with coffee and donut icing on their chins.
