We just wrapped up the packing and loading part of our moving adventure. I have yet to decide if we will ever use a moving company again. Our move out here was absolutely terrible as far as our marital head-butting goes. We were downright evil to each other leading up to packing and loading and through the unloading. On top of that, we had so much work to do while managing a 2.5 month-old and a 2 year-old. It was a long and stressful 5 day drive as well.
We decided to use a moving company for this move. While it hasn't been without issues, our marital consequences have been null. In fact, we have been a team when faced with conflict. Instead of attacking each other we have been attacking others together! Between no-longer-neighborly neighbors and lackadaisical packers we have had to go toe-to-toe (literally in one instance) with people who threaten the success of this move. Our physical effort has been greatly reduced. I can't say our time expenditure has been cut by much. So a DITY move (that is- do it yourself) vs. a moving company seems to be an even draw on the comparison chart. Perhaps the unloading segment will break the stalemate.
