My daughter Michelle and son-in-law Jay had LOTS of snags in moving into their new house. They couldn't get in touch with the landlord - so when they arrived in town - they didn't have a key to the house.
They also discovered that the city wouldn't turn on their water until they saw the lease in person! So...no water! AND it was Memorial Day Weekend - so businesses are closed until Tuesday!
Their was no choice but to stay in a hotel! Which is nice - and thankfully Steve was able to get me a room with points. Remarkably (for a Memorial weekend - and LOTS of travelers - we were able to get rooms and right across the hall from one another! Yeah!
The moving truck arrived this morning and I think after a few hours - my daughter was in near tears. The moving company broke many of their belongings - and then had the nerve to say there is a "deductible" for $500.00. I think NOT! They broke it - they pay for it all!
I've never seen such a lack of care for others' things - but to have a long-distance moving company NOT use a GPS! Crazy! The one guy's attitude was horrible. He was mad that he had to work on Memorial Day Weekend!
Anyway - they need to do a claim for all the pieces broken. The story is lengthy...so I won't go into detail. I think they need to do a claim for sure though!
F.R.U.S.T.R.A.T.I.O.N. DOESN'T SEEM TO COME CLOSE!!!
But....on a lighter side of things.....the hotel's swimming pool was mighty inviting after an extremely HOT day of moving...unpacking what little we could without water......(they didn't clean the house - as they promised!) I think my grandchildren had a GREAT time!!!
Tomorrow....another day.....and more boxes to unpack! Maybe I'll try to get into the girls' room! Shew! Q. Oh where is my hairbrush? A. In a box! Ha ha ha! Just kidding!
Thank you Lord - for another day! I'm praying for a better - more productive day - WITH water!!! :)
