High Noon: Moving-Day Terror

For a few summers, it was like I moved every day. Now, I can't stand the thought of my one move this year. While in college, my job during the warm months was as a laborer for a Mayflower moving franchise in Western Washington. We had a contract to do all the military moves in our Navy-centric town of Oak Harbor, so we always stayed busy and I quickly learned the ins and outs of a successful move. Poor planning is a big culprit in painful moves, and we saw the good, the bad and the things you wouldn't believe. To this day I think the easiest move we went on was where the clients measured and laid out tape outlines on the floor of every piece of furniture and where it would go in their new house/Jon Meyer, 2C Etc. More here.

Question: When did you last move into a new place? Did the move go well?
