We have stuff in the new house!

The movers came yesterday. Don't ask me for a recommendation, because I wouldn't recommend these guys to my worst enemy. The contract (which we never saw, but I finally saw yesterday) said they had until January 6 to deliver our stuff. If we would have known that up front, we would not have gone with them. Instead, we were told that December 18 would be "no problem". We finally got the stuff 10 days later. And there was a decent amount of damage done to our stuff. One bookcase is ruined, our fake plant has to be replanted (it was pulled out of the pot), and lots of other minor damage was done to our stuff. The movers broke the step from the garage into the house but claimed it wasn't them ("it was like that" -- yeah, right). We're compiling a list of the things we are missing, and we got a few things that belong to someone else - two items I caught before the movers left but a couple others we still have. They also didn't put things back together like we were promised they would (like our bed and the computer table). They did put together the dining room table, but only because they needed to get the blanket that was wrapping the table.

Overall, it was a pretty horrible experience. But we now have (most) our furniture and it's a matter of unpacking and setting things up.
