Or are we weird?
We're moving from rented to owned in a few months, and it's taking me ages to pack as we have a lot of children and a lot of stuff, including a fair amount of DIY materials, tools, etc etc.
I'm thinking that as soon as we exchange, and have the keys, I'll start taking boxes over myself - not to unpack, as we need to do decorating and some gas/electric work is being done, but just to ease the burden on the actual move.
I will leave most of it and the furniture to the removal people, but is it wise do you think, if I take the fragile stuff, odd stuff I can't think of a way to pack safely, and so on, myself?
Has anyone else done this?
Also worried about whether they will be able/willing to bring large garden items such as rabbit hutches etc. and how this will work.
I have a garage I'm using as a sort of depository for the DIY stuff, things like sinks and fireplaces and tiles.
Also I have packed nearly everything and most of the cupboards are empty now so it is very crowded here with boxes piled up everywhere. I will need to do some work here when it's all gone, as it's rented, so I'm thinking it's best to get as much out of the way as I can really.
Any tips gratefully heard!
