Why can't it just be simple?

Got the key.
Got the house (almost) packed.
Got the furniture.
....
Got no elevator?!

Our building's elevator went on the fritz on Monday night. Are hoping it will be fixed Thursday (tomorrow) or Friday. We have no way to get our large furniture out of the building. And everything else will be a total pain. Had a little chat with the management to explain that we will not be out of the apartment by the 31st. And we don't plan on paying rent for the extra week.

God! Peter took a week off of work to help with this. We hired a rental truck. I scheduled my job start to accommodate this. Aaargh!

More pictures:


Street view. We're the right half of the duplex; car isn't mine; man is.














This is going to be the dining room. Same style for the bedrooms. The boys will continue their indoctrination of sharing.










Kitchen. Rather 60s. Big enough for 2! If I can't have the really cool ceramic stove top, at least I'll be cooking with gas.









Laundry room / boiler room / work room / storage room.















Whatever you want to call it: den, playroom, basement. It's carpeted and containable.
