I was so depressed having to move to begin with, I got worse after.

It only took our lady about 5 hours and I gave her a bonus for the job that she did. When we move next time, I will be sure to have someone come in and clean before we move in. By the time you backup that truck to the door, the last thing you will want to do is clean. I learned my lesson.
