Red dawn

This is the view from my porch. See those red boxes? They arrived at 6:30 a.m. this morning and are going to be filled with most of the contents of our house by the end of the three-day weekend because home renovation finally begins next week. So I'm blogging a bunch now because I've got my work cut out for me. (If you've got time and energy, come by and help move stuff. There might some Cosco pizza or Thai food in it for you.)

The nice thing about these deliverable pods is that they drop them off for a few days, pick them up, and then transport them to a secure, air-conditioned warehouse. You don't have to rent an unwieldy gas-guzzling truck, pack it, drive it very carefully, unload it, go to a gas station, and rush to return the vehicle. Twice. There's a delivery fee, but they bring them back to you--or if you move, to your new location--for free. Also, if you call ahead, you can access the boxes whenever you want for no cost. You just call ahead and they pull them out of the grid for you.


Is that your white Honda on the left? It's been in front of our house for a week, jerkface, and we wanted to put one of the storage units there. Better move it because I'm going to call the cops and get it towed!
