Capitalist since 1997, landed gentry since...?

The purchase marches on! Yesterday, I stayed home and made phone calls to ensure that everyone was on track. Inspection Thursday, fine, but have the appraisers been scheduled? The title search engaged? When do I get to see the condo documents? (I have to say, I find it odd that I'm expected to make a commitment to join an association before I get to see how they work, but I suppose the alternative is revealing private business affairs to anyone who walks in off the street.)

More current #1 cause for concern is that I have two days between closing and when I have to vacate my apartment. And those two days are a weekend. A holiday weekend. If the movers monshu recommended (called, no response) can't do it, well, can anyone make alternative recommendations? My crap wouldn't fill a 10' x 10' storage locker (I know because I've looked into that as a possible stopgap measure), so I don't need someone with a huge truck and a four-hour minimum.

We used movers who have (or at least had) a contract with DePaul, and they did a great job. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the company offhand (though lhn may), and I don't remember anything about truck size and minimum times. Let us know if you want us to look up the name and number.

Adell Movers, (773) 583-7171.

BTW, while I was looking in the Yellow Pages for the phone number, I saw some ads for movers which claim to specialize in small moves. (Microship: 800-479-7447 and Minimoves: 800-300-6683) I know nothing about them, but if it turns out that Adell and other regular movers have minimum charges that are too high, it might be worth looking into those.

We used (and so did Cris and Josh) Joey's Movers in Evanston. They were wonderful.
