The last few days have been a blur. I got the keys to my house on Friday, and this weekend was move-in time. One of my roommates and one of my students drove down with me Saturday morning to pick up some furniture at my mom's house in Turlock. On our way back, we stopped at the IKEA store in West Sacramento to buy a few things.
At this point, everything's going fine.
We get to the house. Some others show up to help unload. Boxes are being carried. Stuff is being unloaded. Furniture is being moved into the right rooms.
Then we hit a snag. The fridge won't fit through any of the doors.
You see, my house was built in 1957. The fridge my awesome mom found for me at a garage sale is, well, a little newer. And bigger. Which is good, for a house with 4 bachelor guys.
But the fridge wouldn't fit.
Finally, we came up with this plan: We removed the door from its hinges, we removed the fridge door (it's a side-by-side, and we couldn't remove the freezer side because it has a water line to the door. So, then 4 of us managed to hoist the fridge up two steps between the garage and the kitchen, swing the open-door freezer side in first, then turn the fridge so it would move through the doorway.
It worked, and now we're enjoying a nice big fridge with plenty of room for milk. One of my roomies drinks nonfat. I drink 1%. Another drinks 2%. And the fourth drinks whole milk. Pathetic, huh.
Whenever I sell this house, the fridge might just stay with it.
BTW, the pic up top...it's a view of my office today, after I've cleared out some stuff, moved other stuff, and awaiting still more stuff. Fun.

Well, if the door thing hadn't of worked, you could have torn the roof off and lowered it in... see Mark 2:4 :)
if that's the worst thing that happend in the move, i consider you successful.
Yes, we could have had much worse experiences. Then again, the "move" isn't quite done, so keep praying...one of my roomies has a hamster, so you never know.
Congratulations on the house and getting the fridge moved in. The only thing worse than non-fat milk is warm non-fat milk.
Hmm.. what wrong with a little ol' hamster? ;)
There's nothing wrong with a little ol' hamster that a little ol' cat can't fix.
