THEN to matters WORSE ... Up to this point I had been very strategic in how I moved things... making sure I remembered how it went back... because as you can see the storage unit is PACKED floor to ceiling and the door just barely opens & closes!! SO I knew if I didn't put each piece back just as I found it .. the door wouldn't shut...
Just picture me... I'm hot, sweaty, and my muscles were already tired from moving all the stuff out .... and NOW I've got to figure out how I 'm going to get this chair (that just fell on me!) back up over the grill & elliptical machine BY MYSELF!!! I probably tired for about an hour and a half ... I thought at one point I was going to have either a heart attack or a heat stroke (actually went back to my car and took 2 baby aspirin!!!) I finally decide I'm just going to sit my car and wait for someone to drive by ... flag them down and beg them to help me... Our unit is right near the front gate and I would say 10 cars had gone by since I'd been there... OF COURSE 20 mins go by and not a single car! So I decide I'm going to drive around and I can't find anyone.. I'll just leave the chair outside with sign that says FREE!!!
HOWEVER as I'm driving around I see a "Two guys & a Truck" .. so I stop and ask the guy if he was paying them by the hour and if I could please pay him to borrow one of his movers to help me for 2 mins to get this stupid chair back up!!! The old man who had hired them to move him says, "No" .... then there's a long pause... he starts walking towards my car and says, "BUT I guess I'll help you!" I take this man, who was at least 70 yrs old in my car to our unit to help me... I thought at one point HE was going have the heart attack!!! But we got the chair back up and shut the door... And as I told Jeremy yesterday I WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK TO THE STORAGE UNIT!!!
