I submitted for some quotes! We have sooooo much stuff- I don't really know how it happened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-pack-your-house-up-the-last-time-you-moved#post-727488 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:22:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 727488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too long! But we had all the time in the world because we had no deadline for moving out. (like a month) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-pack-your-house-up-the-last-time-you-moved#post-727485 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:22:18 +0000 Smurfette 727485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took about 3 weeks of me packing. But I was 32-34 weeks pregnant, so I was moving slow at night after working all day. And I didn't pack every night. </p> <p>My brother just moved from OH to GA, and for movers to load up their stuff and unload at the new place, it was $5000. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-pack-your-house-up-the-last-time-you-moved#post-727469 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:20:33 +0000 78h2o 727469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed up our townhouse - 1300 sq ft mostly by myself in about 1.5-2 weekends. I was super pregnant (33 weeks) though. My in-laws did help me one full day. It wasn't that bad. It helped that I had a TON of boxes and packing materials. I also printed sheets of labels for every room so i could mark them quickly. When do you move? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-pack-your-house-up-the-last-time-you-moved#post-727459 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:19:01 +0000 rattles 727459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last move was so stressful but exciting. I graduated law school on a Monday, moved across country the next day, and got married on Saturday. I packed everything the week prior, after I'd finished my finals. We're moving this summer too, and I'm thinking we'll hire someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-pack-your-house-up-the-last-time-you-moved#post-727449 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:17:32 +0000 googly-eyes 727449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre LO it took me about a month!

I packed everything up in a week! While I was pregnant and chasing after an 18 month old! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-pack-your-house-up-the-last-time-you-moved#post-727367 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:07:07 +0000 PrincessBaby 727367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm equal parts excited and scared bc I think I have got a GREAT renter for our house that would start June 1.</p> <p>Am I crazy? Originally we planned July or August, but we decided to just go ahead and try our luck. Our new house won't be finished until end of July, beginning of August, so we'll have to put our things in storage/a Pod and stay in a furnished or corporate apt a couple of months with just our basic stuff!</p> <p>Is it feasible to be able to move out in a month and a half? We have so much furniture and so much crap! And we're not even pack rats, we just have a lot of freakin' stuff!!!!</p> <p>How long did it take you?</p> <p>PS: We'll have to have movers to load stuff but the actual packing will be us! OMG! </p>
