It's such a joy. Huge thank yous to
xjuggernaughtx and
tiny_chicken and Hector! ;). Blaise was there too, but
doesn't deserve any thanksisn't on teh lj. Sorry I picked the hottest day of the year to do it guys.
It turns out that my third floor apartment is actually on the fourth floor because the first is apparently a big nothing-ness. Poor
xjuggernaughtx carried my heaviest piece of furniture (the cat tree) all the way up. I am very sore, hopefully more so than anyone who helped me; but I did one load on my own on Friday, and then there were two more on Saturday. Not too bad for the five of us.
Then
tiny_chicken and I had to make custom screens for my windows. They are very weird sizes - 48x24, 42x27 and 42x24. I was a little freaked because I don't want my cats jumping out windows, but Home Depot has these nifty DIY window screen kits. So we drank more beer and made a mess and got paranoid about metal shavings and voila! I have window screens. No bugs coming in, no cats going out. Life is good. I hope my downstairs neighbor doesn't hate me for all of the banging.
I now have a refrigerator full of beer, strawberry cheesecake, and leftover chinese food (which I forgot to bring to work for lunch dammit). There might need to be some grocery shopping done.
