They got insurance for that kinda thing, right?

CHAOS has ensued!!

However, the point has been driven home that no matter how prepared you are to move- something will always pop up out of no where.

1) Days prior to our moving- Last Thursday actually, our landlord also informed us that they made a mistake and wanted us to move out on Sunday the 25th, instead of our scheduled Wednesday because they told the new tenants that they could move in on the 28th and they needed to paint. Brilliant!! Needless to say they couldn't find a moving co. to replace ours- so they just had to deal.

2) The deal ended up being that we'd get the keys early- move out by morning/mid-afternoon. ... The movers ended up being late so we had to literally move our furniture around the rooms so the maintenance men could paint... Kind of insane.

3) It stormed, selectively, as we were moving our shit.  

4) (And here's the kicker). The gas man came (at 10:30am) to change our meter... discovered a giant ass gas leak in our building that necessitated an emergency crew to be present all day and jackhammer through something till about 8 o'clock. Freakin sweet!! How did this not get found out till recently, you ask? No clue, lol!
p.s. He also notified my landlord co. that my stove needed an emergency shut off switch to be up to code. The range was ancient, so thanks to him the building, nor our apartment will burst into flames!! So AWESOME JOB City Gas Worker man!

p.p.s. Despite that I'm glad I increased our renter's insurance.

After all that- I stopped being surprised. And everything just got a lot easier.

End result:
Plus side-
Bigger place.
New stove.
Found towels and toilet paper. 

Bad side-
I now live in between towers of boxes and random objects that may or may not be necessary to everyday existence.
No outlet covers, so our risk of dying by electrocution has increased.


Again- I'm glad I got some insurance to cover that.
