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 .
