The nums for posterity

All the quotes are in...

I had guessed that the move itself and all it entails was going to cost me about $20k. I was wrong. $31,762.

$9,910 to paint the new apartment
$3,564 carpet for the new apartment
$3,585 to paint this condo
$7,067 carpet for this condo

Note, the new apartment was 5 different colors of paint. And it's 726 sq feet. The condo is just under 1,300 sq. feet.

$3,864 to plan and coordinate and execute the entire move
$2,693 to move my stuff and take the rest to Goodwill

$31,762 - holy crapoly.

And we still have furniture to buy. We'd better make a flat out killing selling this place!!

And, just like that, my brother's inheritance - as a friend of mine in the south used to say - "like a pecka in winter"

I'm cutting back already

you should probably sell your ticket and thumb home from iowa

That is a shocking price difference between the two painting projects! I would've expected your current condo to be much pricier because of needing two coats and a much larger space. The higher carpet price for the larger condo makes sense, tho.

Yeah, that is one heck of a pricey move! Sure you don't want to keep more of your current furniture after all?

1000 times, no. I hate it all.

I don't need much. A love seat and a couple of chairs and a coffee table maybe and an small eating table. But I want new stuff. And new stuff I shall have!

[vysila]

LOL, well then it's high time you get exactly what you want!

I'm dying to see the colors in the new place!

That is one ELITE painter at the new place, given the cost!
