I was so skeptical that I refused to move our mattress until the truck would arrive. I was sure it would be postpone, like so many other things were, since we arrived here.
So in any cases, it took three guys two days to unload things and mount the dismantled furniture. Like usual, some of our stuff got damaged. Nothing as serious as when we arrived to DC from Liberia (there was for about 20$K of damages then, plus a family of cockroaches shipped directly from Africa). I have not gotten used to this yet, finding some of my precious things damaged. And wondering again on how is it possible for our italian couch to loose a leg.
In any cases, it is amazing to see the house getting filled with stuff. At first it is only boxes and then slowly things get unpack and furniture starts to appear. What was for so long an empty space starts to have a new life of its own, once a sofa or a table is placed in it.
Overall, it is a very exciting moment for us. I can finally see that are settling process is getting to an end. Well I guess not until all is unpacked, organized and installed.
So let me go now, I have yet to do more!!!

The container just pulled up in front of our yard.
Some people are really happy.

Just books.
It takes a truck to clear the empty boxes.
