We ended up spending two stressful nights in our house on the floor. ABF was late delivering our container, the A/C was only working intermittently, our new home warranty was paid for by the title company and we had a lot more damage to our stuff than I anticipated. Wood furniture was almost lit on fire by the friction in the container. Sure I had followed my own intuition and used shrink-wrap instead of following the "expert's" advice. Our TV now has a nice big viewing port on top, but it works ok.
Anyway, we eventually got things under control in the 110 degree weather. We even managed to paint the living and dining rooms. The neighbors were awesome and helping in tons of ways including entertaining our kids. Their kids and our became fast friends.
The best part however is that Becky got the job. She's now the Director of Finance and Technology for St. Mary's food bank, the largest non-profit in AZ. It ended up being a much better opportunity that she hoped for. The next few months will be crazy: Becky's new job; Becky's JD finals and Bar exam; and my starting medical school.
Saving grace is the pool. The kids and dog use it every day. Cedar has become a true water dog. And no bad sun burns!
