Moving Day

In order to start the construction project, all the furniture had to be moved from the basement and first floors. We decided to try and store all the items upstairs on the 2nd and 3rd floors. This ended up being a great option and almost everything fit in the bedrooms on the 2nd floor. I highly recommend our movers, Two Men and a Truck. They were awesome to work with and very efficient. They came out Thursday, Friday, and half of Sunday to complete the job. They wrapped all the furniture and breakable items. It took a crew of 6 guys for ~20 hours to move everything!

We used over 1,000 boxes to pack up the bottom two floors! It was great to go through some of the storage rooms and recycle a lot of unused items and do general clean-up. On Friday we were able to donate several gently used items to Northwest Center.

A lot of the rooms in the basement have been pretty messy for several years, the storage closets in particular. Now these closets are completely empty - it will be nice for the girls to start off the next school year with a really clean house.


It was a pretty hectic couple of days as the chapter women were still moving out of the house. And boy do they have a lot of stuff! We had a system of marking the upstairs bedrooms with a green piece of paper if the room was completely checked out and ready for the movers. At times, the girls moving out was the bottleneck, so we had the movers help with the heavy lifting of girls' furniture. I wish we had that when I was in college!

All in all, Lesley, Dorae, and Ms. Carolyn, our housemom had to stay at ADPi until past 9pm checking girls out (house closed at 8pm Friday). I don't remember ever having finals on Friday, but there were 30+ girls moving out on the last day.
