Dava’s Corvallis House Adventure: Three Incidents during the Move (that I’d rather not have happened)

By Dava • August 12th, 2010

Three little things during the move–that I’d rather not have happened and how I might have prevented them.

  1. My husband hit head on the light fixture that used to be over the table.  Table had been moved, but stuff was still being packed in that area.  This was not the first time for this bit of glass.  I worried about it a lot and generally had it protected (faked a table with boxes under it, but they got relocated and …)  I think for future if I have a light fixture like that, I’ll simply remove the glass to a safe place.  
  2. Sudden loss of water at the new house. Ohhhh, freak out! I’ve not lived with a well before, so of course, all the worst case scenarios leaped to mind before we discovered that the cable guy had unplugged the pump.  Maybe there should be a sign that says “don’t unplug this” near the well pump.
  3. Limited participation on my part.  I was busy, busy, busy with work. So a lot of the actual moving day stuff was handled without my assistance.  Perhaps this is a good thing, as I tend to the bossy side of life. Also, it was much less stressful for me, but still, stressful.  The good thing is, the work I did was very productive.

All in all it wasn’t a bad move. Everything made it here it good condition.  It will be a while before we find everything (especially since we’re starting a remodel as soon as we move in…).    The pre-planning and pre-packing was well worth the effort.
