The moving company was scheduled for Wednesday. The last several
days prior had been a ton of work packing as much studio stuff as I could so
that the movers could help carry it downstairs. After filling more than 30
boxes, I ran out, so the remaining stuff I’ll just carry down a little at a
time. But the important thing was getting all the furniture moved: Three desks
and three bookcases, now all in place downstairs! (And sadly, I had to say
good-bye to Greg’s jukebox, which the same movers hauled to Ballard Consignment.)
After they left, I took a much-needed break. With weeks of cold followed by an atmospheric river of rain and wind, my daily walks had been miserable and certainly without sketches. By late morning, it was downright balmy – temperatures in the low 50s and sunny! The Olympic mountains were glorious; the Brothers majestic.

Goodness, it's almost as much work moving from upstairs to downstairs as it would be to entirely different house! It wouldn't have occurred to me to hire movers for that but what a smart move. Hopefully the jukebox will find a worthy new home where it will be played again.
ReplyDeleteThe stairway is steep and narrow... I would not have wanted to saddle non-pros with a job like that! I, too, hope the jukebox finds a worthy home. Seems like it would be ideal in a funky, retro cafe or something like that, even if it couldn't be played.
