Many thanks to Kelly and Paul for working out the final details of our new place. I was right: she didn’t really know that I wasn’t in Vancouver. After some explaining, they managed to convince her that I was alright and she took my deposit.
My old landlord had an in with movers and offered to get me a good quote. He emailed today: $2600 for moving and packing, $1300 for moving only.
Considering we paid $400 when we moved into that place, I don’t really think $1300 for the move only counts as a “good” quote. I’m pretty sure I could pay anybody I know $1000 to pack everything I own into boxes, and the same company $400 to move it four blocks. Look, I just cut the price in half.
Seriously, what would the packing be? Maybe two days work (alone) if you had all the boxes and stuff?
I have asked for a couple of other quotes online. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll end up packing everything myself. [shakes fist again]

Call me when you’re back in Van, and if I’m not in Pittsburgh, I’ll come and give you a hand packing.
I promise not to pack breakables whilst drinking wine. Hee hee!

I will repeat what Paul told you on the phone. There is not enough money in the world to get me to pack your apartment up. 🙂
No offence to you or Kat, I just hate packing/moving .
