We close on the house in 5-6 weeks. we live on the 3rd floor. moving up here was a pain in the butt, and while moving downstairs will be less awful then the reverse was, we're still talking about a LOT of trips up and down the stairs.
So my plan is to move something into my car every time I go down the stairs, and then offload that into my office every workday. with 22 workdays before the move, I think I should be able to move the equivalent of 2 copy paper boxes each days. I have a fair amount of storage space in my cubby, so I think I can probably fit 44 copy paper boxes worth of stuff in their before re-offloading it to the new place.
so today I moved my CDs A-Bi. tomorrow is CDs Bowie thru dim stars and some art supplies. consider this post a log to see how much stuff I can move in advance before my co-workers notice what I'm up to.
