When you move, you usually need to bring big things and need a large amount of money. Bringing big stuff from your former house or a store to your new house is hard work. If you ask the company to help your move, or buy new things, you have to spend a lot of money. I just moved the other day and it was such a big move. To tell the truth in advance, I do not have such a large amount of money.
My new house only had a fridge-freezer, microwave, electric stove, and mattress. Before I began my new life there with my two friends, we discussed what the most necessary things are in the first few days. Our answer was mattresses and bedsheets. Then, our discussion went on about our need for desks and a dining table and chairs. Everything must be expensive if we buy them. Again, I can not afford to pay big prices.
However, I had prepared secret strategies since I decided the day of my move. After we brought our baggage to our new house, we went to Kent in my friend's car. Kent is a place located in the north-eastern part of Tacoma. A person who wants to give me a mattress lives in Kent. I got this information from the internet. We did not expect the mattress to be clean and in good condition. However, to our astonishment, it was a shiny black, gorgeous, queen sized, and free. Someone gets a good thing that someone does not need anymore. What a beautiful system!
However, the only problem for the mattress is that it was too big to go inside the car. We changed our plan, and put the mattress on the car and hung on to it using our arms. When we were driving on the freeway, our arms were numb because the strong power of the wind was lifting the mattress up against our arms' power. Obviously, we bought a rope to tie it up afterwards. We stopped in Puyallup and got another mattress for ten bucks.
The other day, I went on a trip to get a desk for studying. The destination was a store thirty blocks away from my house. At this time, I did not have my friend's help. After I bought a desk and chair quickly, I put them on a wheel barrow which I brought from my house, and bound them very firmly. My long trip started. For me, normally, the distance from 15oth street to 120th street is not too far, but the heavy stuff and strong sunshine made me tired. People who passed me on the street looked at me and smiled. At intersections, drivers stopped the car for me and gave me a smile. I like to see the people that.
I had been looking for a dining room table and chairs on the internet, but I had given up. Sometimes I found a cheap one that someone was selling, but I had to give up as the location was too far or another person already bought them when I contacted the owner. Finally, I found a good and cheap one and immediately went to the house. I was listening to the directions on the phone and it was near Pacific Ave., the main street in Tacoma. "It's not too far!" I thought. However, I was still walking down along the street even though one hour had passed after I got off the bus on Pacific Ave. I made a left and another left, and went down another street, and made a left again. At last, I saw the family who were selling the table. They had been thinking that I was coming to their house by car. They laughed at me and were impressed by my attitude that I would walk back to my house with the heavy stuff. Consequently, they discounted the price of the table, gave me two Cokes, and added a toaster oven that I was planning to buy later. In addition, they brought me back to my house with all of the stuff by car.
Again, when you start a new life, you need a la
rge amount of money for moving or buying new things. Paying a big money is the easiest and fastest way. However, there is another way to use your body and time. Doing it yourself is the cheapest and a beautiful way to connect with other people.
