YAY! YIPPEE! God is awesome; you asked him for something that fulfilled your needs; He went one further and gave you something beauiful. This is to show you that He loves you very much.

Better start baking some virtual cakes, because we're all coming over for a virtual housewarming party!
 
Good thing all has worked out, Kathi .... you wouldn't want to live somewhere where the carpet needs replacing like that :rofl2

Congrats on the new residence.... have fun with the packing ... and prayers will continue throughout this entire process :wave2
 
I will be transporting some boxes over to the house.Any ideas on how to make this easier?How about renting a hand truck?
 
You could rent a hand truck ... or you can buy a folding one for about $20 at a big hardware store such as Lowes, Menards, etc. They're sturdy, fold up nicely, and on hand for future use. (Quite nice to haul large bags of potting soil to the back yard)

That is a really good idea.I did not know they had folding hand trucks.The U-Haul company I was going to rent it from call what I would rent a Dolly?Are they different?To buy a fold up Dolly they seem kind of expensive $79.00 to over $100.00.
 
This is a very small rental management company I am dealing with.Three ladies run it.I know this one lady must be busy because she is the only one who is dealing with all the rental issues.I just need from her a rough time-table to what is going to happen in the next two weeks.She is not giving me straight answers.I have a ton of stuff to do. :janitor
 
A dolly & a hand truck are one and the same. I have a solid (non-folding) hand truck, but it doesn't fit in my car. So I bought a folding hand truck... it was $20 plus tax.

Unless you're moving boxes to a storage locker, I would wait until the moving truck is at your current home to load everything up to take directly to the new place, once you have the keys to the new place & can move in. You can rent a dolly/hand truck from the moving truck rental company.... sometimes you can ask them to toss the dolly in for free if you rent several furniture pads/blankets. Worth a try!

Good idea.I think I will rent a dolly from a u-haul company.I am having a local moving company move my stuff.I don't have alot and it is fairly cheap.
 
chances are good that the local moving company who's going to move your belongings will have an extra dolly standing around unused. You might ask if you could borrow one in the meanwhile.
