after having just moved to a new house about a month ago, i can confirm i will never move with my extant furniture again. whenever i sell my current house i'm selling it fully furnished and the new owner can burn it all in the back yard for all i care. i'll start fresh in the new house with new poo poo because loving having to move that much poo poo again.

I get what you mean but I feel like 90% of the pain in moving is packing and unpacking little fiddly poo poo.
Physically moving the furniture and the whitegoods is straightforward.

I just had to pack up 80% of my house into the remaining 20% of the house to get the carpets replaced.

Even that was a loving nightmare and I'm just going to leave a lot of my stuff boxed up because holy poo poo I've got a fuckload of useless crap.

I just discovered some game changing information this year (the Year of Too Many Renovations).

I can hire a local moving company and they will do an in house move. Basically stuff all my poo poo into two rooms while I work on the floors of the rest of the house for a couple hundred bucks. Then when I'm done, I hire them again to move everything back. It is worth every single penny.

I also found out there are companies out there that basically do nothing but break down and haul away boxes, old furniture (which they will donate and give me a receipt for if in good enough condition), and some small appliances.

Does anyone else remember that show on TLC (before it became the Utter Trash Channel) where a professional organizer would come in and help homeowners purge their belongings, while their house got redecorated? I miss that show.

believe it or not, i feel the exact opposite. i don't care about boxing up all my clothing or the hall junk closet or all the silverware, but the actual furniture we own is f-ing heavy and my wife is a small lady, so i'd be doing most of it solo, and to top it off we're in a 2-story now, so i'd have to move most of the heaviest poo poo down a flight of stairs with 2 different 90 degree turns.

if / when i sell this place, definitely just leaving everything where it is and making that a contingency on the sale. "i'm not moving poo poo. you can keep it or burn it or do whatever you want with it, but i don't want it"

Jesus Christ.

I hate everything about that.

E: are those bare pipes for radiant heat?

E2: Is that toilet paper conveniently located so you get third degree burns from said pipes every time you need to wipe your rear end?

They're probably towel-warming racks, at least I hope.

Imagine coming home blitzed and trying to use the toilet, if I wasn't already nauseous those patterns would definitely do me in.

I’m pretty sure when you come home drunk to that bathroom, you just say screw it, piss directly on the floor, then deal with it the next morning.

I'm fit, big, and strong for my age (pushing 40), but nothing made me feel more like an old than watching the movers, who were also college football players, just hoist multi-hundred pound solid wood furniture onto their backs and carry it down 2 flights of stairs. I used to move heavy, mostly-metal office furniture as my college job as well, and I remember how I could pretty much beat the poo poo out of my back and body with no repercussions.

Moving is unskilled labor, but it's *hard* labor. It's amazing how cheap it actually is, considering what it's worth to not be totally exhausted with a sore back for 2 days.

When I moved in to my place one of the older but still hard-working movers joked "Don't you wish you'd stayed in school?".

I said nothing because what am I going to say? "No because I did and that's why I'm not lugging someone else's furniture in my 30s"?
