genie Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Boy do I know what you mean! When we moved two years ago, I was amazed at how many times I had to go back and get more and more and more boxes! I do not envy you one bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pster Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Not sure if you have thought of this but if you need boxes - try asking at your neighborhood Wal-Mart or grocery store in the produce section for their banana boxes. Great to pack in -and free! I keep making trips back and forth to our store - I can fit prob 15-20 boxes in the van with the kids in their carseats! :driving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammyla Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 You have my sympathy. Keep your eye on the joy of a new home and community to explore. I miss moving. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigitte Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 that's 162 boxes and we need more! :eek: Wow weee! That is a lot of boxes! In all our moves, I have never thought to count them. Hey, a great home schooling moment...get the kids to count them and sort by size. :D:tongue_smilie: I will start packing in earnest tomorrow...yeah, right. No, really I will. I have an open house tomorrow afternoon and Monday evening trying to sell off some Usborne inventory, so I have fewer boxes to move. So that might leave me with fewer full boxes. Ah, the dh has some projects for me to do for him, since he can't lift anything!!!!!I think he is starting to milk it!!!! So, I gotta go.

Sugarfoot Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 We used so many boxes in our move 7 months ago, it got to be embarrassing going back to Home Depot for more. We cleared them out several times. Ugh. Good luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My2sons Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 We are moving the end of the month. I just started packing and have counted 43 boxes. I have many many to go! This is our 9th move in 14 years. I sort of have it down. When are you moving? ~Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I'm sure you are glad that it is almost done. Once it all gets in boxes it will seem almost done. Please tell me you are not putting them all into a moving truck yourself too.:001_huh: :bigear: I hope it is all coasting from here. Best wishes!

Mama Lynx Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I packed number 175 today. And it still looks like my house is full of stuff. It makes me want to get rid of ... oh, EVERYTHING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Lynx Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 We have been married for nearly 17 years and have moved 8 times. We have gotten it down to a science. Happy Moving!!! Any tips from your science that you could share? How do you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trivium Academy Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 I know! I told the kids that they should expect even more purging once we move. There's no way it's all going to fit. No way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
