I have a couple of nice guitars that I’m not using on a regular basis and we have a new house to decorate. Hmm, I know what I need to do. I need to put those guitars up on the wall. I need to find a nice guitar wall hanger and then get several of them to get my guitars up on the wall.

Have other ideas to musically decorate our house?

We are finally getting settled in a new place after our difficult time abroad. I saw difficult because the last few months that saw the birth of our daughter were difficult. It necessitated a move half way across the world without having any long distance movers to help out. I’ve done a lot of moving in the past and usually had help but for this one, we had to go without the support of a trusted moving company and do it ourselves. This is the last time that it happens, next time we will get moving help.

Moving is a stressful time and I really hate the packing aspect of it. The packing part is the worst part of the whole moving experience in my opinion. It’s deciding what goes where and even if something is worth moving. Packing an entire household is a lot of work because when you pack you also have to get some cleaning done as well. It’s hard to see what is first and what you should do after everything is moved. When you use a professional mover, it’s easy because they get everything packed up for you and then you just need to do the cleaning afterwards….and you can hire a cleaner to take care of that if needed.

Then there is the loading of the truck. When you don’t have a lot of friends to help, loading the truck is just too much of a hassle and takes too long, in fact it can be impossible to accomplish. Try moving a freezer alone and you know what I mean.

Yep, the next time we make a long distance move, or even a short distance one, we are going to seek professional help.
