We have a moving dilemma and we're not quite sure what the best situation is to fix the problem. Maybe you can help us clear our heads and make the best decision?!?!
Here's the situation:
When we moved from our apartment, we had to store all of our belongings {other than clothes, the dog, and a few miscellaneous items} in a storage facility. When we signed the paperwork, they informed us that a 30 day move-out notice is required and the month is not prorated. So in other words, you have to move out before the 1st of each month or you have to pay the entire month's rent. Well, our closing date is scheduled for Wednesday, September 30th. We originally planned that we would move into the house that weekend, October 2-4. BUT, if we wait until then, we'll have to pay $156 for the storage for the entire month of October.
Solution #1:
Keep the closing date the same, wait to move until the first weekend in October, and just pay October's rent.
Solution #2:
Ask to move the closing date up 5 or 6 days. So, we would close either Thursday, September 24th in the afternoon or Friday, September 25th. Problems with moving this weekend-- We are going to the Kings of Leon concert on Friday night {so not much moving would get accomplished Friday}. Also, my entire family {minus Christopher, who now lives in NYC} will be in Michigan at a wedding and won't be able to help us with moving.
{We hope our friends can help us out!! Drinks on us!}
So, do we suck it up and pay the extra money and stick with our original plans? Or do we move the date {if she agrees}, not have my family to help, and only have the original moving fees?
We're leaning towards choice number two. Any excuses of living together sooner are welcome!! We're not even sure yet if this plan is feasible, so we'll see.....
On to bigger and better decisions - finding more items to add to my House Wish List!!
