Packing to move after 25 years in the current house.

Click to expand...

I had to clear out my mom's house after dad died. Took me months and months to sell all his shit, still had massive piles of shit to take care of. AND I had to do my house, too. AND then had a garage sale in my 1800 sq ft garage. Packed to the fucking rafters with shit, took me almost a week to set up. I advertised Friday 8AM start on CL and garage sale websites. Motherfuckers started showing up at 730AM and formed a line. I figured it would take all weekend to sell everything. THREE HOURS. Motherfuckers parked on both sides of the street and filled the entire block.

Mayhem, pure mayhem for 3 hours. Only had a small pile of stuff left, not enough to fill a table.

Took a stack of bills to bank nearly 5 inches thick. Teller looked at me blankly and I said "garage sale".

And then hammer time ONE day to go until plane ride out. I was filling a PODS shipping container until 11PM the night before departure.

45 minutes before departure to airport, I hopped into shower. Soaped up, MOTHERFUCKERS shut off the water a day early. I called and raised hell and 15 minutes later water was back on.

I moved again 2 years ago. Shipping crew was 3 people. Long story short, they couldn't find anyone at the destination to unload, so they drove up there with only 2 people...3rd guy quit. 2 guys to unload would have taken them days, so I helped. 8 hours to unload and we were all fucking murdered when finished.

My next move will be the final move.

Four full truck loads to the landfill already, gave away a lot of furniture. Wife has taken 5 loads to Goodwill. I probably have another 4 loads to take, have junk piles everywhere to get rid off lol. I hear ya, wish I could toss it all. Good thing we are only packing, we hired a moving company to load and unload all the boxes/furniture, they will even take down the beds and reassemble in the new house.

I rented a 30 yard dumpster for mom's house. Emptied it three times.

I will say the one move where it was intracity I just did 70% of it over a week (couple runs a night in the car) and then rented a uhaul for just the furniture. Was pretty painless and unfortunately because of that kept way too much shit which meant the next time it was a big mess.

This is something I am firmly dreading...

Wife and I have lived in our house all 20 years we've been married. And I have a full blown "workshop" for computers, electronics, 3d printing. We've done a few "purges" over the years, but just the accumulated amount of knick knackery and crap, plus the fact she has what I estimate to be a 6k book library spread around all the bookshelves in the house. (she literally has a bedroom who'se walls are nothing but bookshelves, and we have bookshelves in almost every other room of the house except the kitchen.)

Our plan? To be moving into a newly constructed house in the country in a couple years. But even before that our next big house project is going to be painting the interior, and replacing flooring in a couple rooms. Both of which will entail an almost complete pack up and storage of everything in those rooms to get it done.

help take care of my dad's medical. he has a lot of issues and now needs an endoscope and colonoscopy. do those need to be off blood thinners for 3 days, had to go his heart doctor to get that approved.
july 3rd, get call from gastroenterology "your insurance will not pay to have both done at the same time.....can either have them done on back to back days, which would be risky or have them 4 days apart.....will call back on monday to book dates."
pretty sure would have to get heart doctors ok to go 7 days off. wait till today to call insurance to figure out what the deal is. insurance "huh? we have no issue having both done on same day....... i will call gastroenterology and call you back"
insurance "called every 10 mins for last hour, keeps going to voice mail."
4 hours later... insurance "finally got through, they said the doctor doesn't do multiple procedures as policy......we are ok if you want to find another doctor"

ask my friend, to ask his family for suggestions. his stepdad is a doctor and his sister does referrals stuff for another doctor.
get a doctor name and call.
yes, taking new patients.......will have to come to the office to fill out paperwork so we can request records.......normally don't do 2 procedures together, but can........earliest opening is in October
plus gastroenterology office didn't call about setting up appointment

Hurricanes. Or, maybe more accurately, Entergy being crap.

I’ve absolutely seen many docs do an EGD and Colon on same day.

That is probably a $$ thing where the insurance will not pay as much unless they’re done separately, but I don’t know for sure - just my suspicion. Maybe they’ll say “oh sure we’ll pay for it but since it’s both on same day we’ll only pay 60% for each procedure compared to if it was done separately.”

How in the hell did this shit show up on my Youtube. Dead body clean up service. I could legitimately hurl.

Imagine trying to clean up a 600lb decomposing corpse. The smell must have been something of nightmares.

Pffft that’s tame

I had a buddy that did this stuff, his pics were way worse.

Random: when i came home and saw his van parked next door i busted in and was like “Dave!” My wife was like “Dave is not here…” “ohhh nooo”

Me: set pool robot to only clean the bottom, where the debri currently is.

Pool Robot: “Hey Boss, I’m cleaning the sides like you asked!”

I had this problem and ended up changing gears which were worn. It kept basically driving it into walls much too quickly and the balance/buoyancy took it up and around the perimeter. I ended up buying a new one a year later and had a similar issue until I fine-tuned the hose/suction and the float attachment.

after discussing it, we decided best course was for dad just to get the colonoscopy done and see how he handles that, then wait to get the endoscope done. Tuesday call the gastroenterology chick, straight to voice mail x3, fourth time leave message. Thursday she calls back, they will do both on the same day.
