Here is Sefu breaking the "Seal" to our container. It's nice to know that it made the ocean voyage safely.
The next task was to remove the braces that held our things tightly together.
The guys were just wonderful about carrying our very heavy furniture up the 21 steps to the second floor. They very carefully put together our china cabinet. I am totally amazed that none of the glass on the furniture broke.
It pained us to see all the packing paper and foam that was used to pad our furniture and things. Our moving fellows here in Hawaii was amazed at the care that was given to our things. They said our Glen Ellyn Movers did a fabulous job in Illinois. Sefu said they would come and pick up our other boxes and packing in a few days after we unpacked our other things. He reassured us that some of it would be recycled or reused.
Here's the guys. D.J., Tony and Sefu. They were just wonderful. Now comes the monumental job of unpacking and finding a place for everything.
Just found you! Like your place. It is nice. Good morning from Mississippi. I hope you have a wonderful morning!
ReplyDeleteWow! That was quick, wasn't it? How kind of the packers and shippers, as well as the UNpackers, to handle your belongings so carefully. I imagine you and your husband will be busy getting everything settled over the next several days.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like just yesterday you shipped that container.
ReplyDeleteBig guys. Glad they were gentle with your furniture.
OK, get to work. Good luck.
Moving is so difficult. I'm glad things are going so well. And glad your things were handled with such care. Good luck!
ReplyDeletehi, wow that was fast. you have nominated for an award for blogging. see my blog for details. Lin
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much packing material is used in a move, but it's the only way to keep things safe. And your stuff had to survive an ocean crossing.
ReplyDeleteIt will be hard work, but fun, to get everything in its new place. Then it will really seem like home.
Congrats on the safe arrival of your **stuff**. Gotta have your own stuff to make a home feel like home. Whereabouts in Hawaii are you? I have a potential future niece-in-law (dating my nephew) who is native Hawaiian and coming over to OK for a visit next month. :) Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteThat's a relief!
But..
now you have to unpack it all
And yet..
What fun to set up HOME in a new place.
Best wishes.
Oh my, what a lot of packing material. You must be relieved to be reunited with your belongings - though having to put them all away will probably make you wonder why you brought half of them with you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your things arrived so nice and safe. I'm surprised the glass in your china closet didn't break, but I'm glad it didn't! They use an awful lot of packing material these days, but they do recycle or reuse it on a normal job unless it is ruined. Have fun unpacking, but don't overdo!!
ReplyDeleteThat was fast..and I've had things break in moves that were in the same city...Now it will really start to feel like "home" Kay..
ReplyDeleteThis is great news Kay. I always loved it when my stuff arrived after a move. It was always fun reorganizing and moving into a new place. Blessings sent to you for a happy new place.
ReplyDeleteI hear the huge sigh of relief! It's all coming together---
