While the news of moving North was not seen as "good" news to family and frinds of ours, the news that Signs would pay for removalists as well recieved! Several family members helped us move into our 'Basin' home, carting everything up the 45 stairs. We thank them sincerely for their help and hope no one is offended that we got professionals to cart it down and out for us.
Getting quotes from removalists brought a range of exclamations, from "This is the worst access we've ever seen" to "Oh, we've seen worse".
Service offered by the companies also ranged from "We can move it overnight to Sydney" to "That's impossible, it will take 2 weeks to move your stuff".
We ended up getting all our belongings packed up the Thursday before we planned to arrive in Sydney, and removed down all the stairs on the Friday.
We spent Thursday to Monday night at Rachel's parents house.
Henry has a a little pal over there, Annie. Being half the size, Annie has a doggy door half the size of Henry's, but Henry would fit through at a squeeeeeeze.
We planned to give Henry some medication to help calm him for the drive up. We decided to do a test run before we left. The tablets certainly had an affect on Henry, which gave hime very wobbly legs.
At one point he accidently fell over onto Annie. She couldn't get up with HJ being twice the size of her, and HJ couldn't get up being drugged. Poor little fluffies!
Henry had fun running around the house with Annie's squeeky toy. See video (turn your speakers up).
