Well I’m finally totally out of the old location and in the new place but we had to just drop everything as we had a few obstacles to overcome .
I’m honestly a little overwhelmed and tired.
First 2 of the 3 guys that were going to help with the move decided at the last minute they didn’t feel like working! Am I wrong but it seems like no one wants to work anymore.
So it was just myself and my assistant and I didn’t have him for one of the moving days as he and his family where on their last day of vacation on the first day of my move.. I knew he’d not be there to help day 1 but obviously didn’t expect the other 2 to not show up. Well day one I was on my own but my dad told me something when I was young kid that I’ve never forgotten. He said “ you do what you have to do, when you have to do it and don’t whine about it “ I’ve always remembered that lesion.
Any I rented a 26 ft Truck with a lift gate and started to load things and made two trips day 1. My assistant Gino and I started on day 2 at 5am and didn’t finish until 10:30pm that night. We made 5 30 miles one way trips and honestly we both hit the wall on the last trip.
I moved 14 pallets and some furniture I could handle alone day one and I almost killed myself once when I almost fell backwards off the lift gate on to the concrete floor with a 1.500 lb pallet and pallet jack falling on me. Thank God I stopped it or there would not be any more ETHOS products Lol
We moved in a total 8 trips with the truck, moved 42 pallets of inventory and i made 2 extra trips with my SUV filled with Essential oils and other aroma ingredients as I didn’t want them bouncing around on the truck. Looks like everything made it ok without any breakage and I’m so glad it’s over! If I had to do it again I’d just hire a moving company.
Now the job of unpacking and setting everything up again so I’ve gonna shoot for Monday so wish me luck cause it feels like I have to climb the Empire State Building right now. There’s so much to do to get set up and start making things.
Btw here’s the inside of the truck we used with the first pallet I loaded on the truck.
The new place is a little closer to home so that’s a plus.
Kind regards
