Restricted by very particular building codes for the artificial island project just outside of Amsterdam, the designer claims that most of the houses are fairly uniform. Still, their IJburg villa has a distinctive appearance. The upper level boasts a recessed balcony that spans the entire width of the building while vertical pine cladding provides protection against solar gain and – used as shutters over the windows as well – controls daylighting as well.
Combined with extensive glazing, a long frosted glass wall on the lower level, which is an impressive bookcase on the inside, helps to bring diffused lighting into the living area without compromising privacy. And a concrete wall on the outside of the kitchen marks the entry way to the charming timber-clad home, while a short overhang provides shading for the porch. Check out another timber clad home with a spiral staircase that is also a part of this residential complex.

The "People's Bailout" Was Just the Beginning: What's Next for Strike Debt?
Fabien: Did any roadblocks crop up while you while you were preparing for the Rolling Jubilee? Anything other people could learn from?
Thomas: Oh, yes. There have been many times where I've just thought, this isn't going to work—this is not possible—and despaired. One of the early roadblocks was that we needed lawyers to work with us, and I didn't know any lawyers. The best way to meet lawyers who are willing to work on causes like this is to go get arrested doing something for Occupy Wall Street. It turns out you've got a couple of days in jail to talk to all the lawyers who are in jail with you, because they got arrested with you. So that helped us clear some hurdles. I guess the advice is, if you get stuck, go get arrested with some of the best people in the world, and then brainstorm.
Fabien: I understand that a major goal of this campaign has been to start conversations. Have there been any conversations that have surprised you?
Thomas: Oh, it's been beautiful to watch. On websites, especially conservative web sites, some people are saying, "Wait a second, these debts really are illegitimate." And then other people are saying, "They knew what they were signing up for," and then people are sharing their personal stories.
There was one kid on Facebook who said, "I don't like this idea. People should just be responsible with their money and not end up in debt." And then someone else responded to that and said, "I've been extremely responsible with my finances, but what are you supposed to do when you get cancer and you lose your job, and I've got this amount of debt? Tell me what I did wrong."
And the kid said, "Well, that is wrong. You shouldn't end up with that."
Exactly what we were hoping to happen happened, and it's continuing to happen. The Rolling Jubilee is a tactic that is meant to get the conversation started, and to direct that conversation toward particular areas of injustice. Most people didn't know that there is a secondary market for debt, and that banks sell the debt they're expecting you to pay full price for to each other for a fraction of the price.
And there are many other injustices out there that we are hoping to use the Rolling Jubilee to focus the national conversation around. This is something that we see coming up in different phases. In phase one, we're focusing on medical debt. In the second phase, three or four months from now, we might focus on a different kind of debt, or on a particularly egregious practice that we would like to get shut down. So stay tuned. We've got big dreams and big schemes.
Fabien: Have any fresh insights or directions arisen from the new regional chapters of Strike Debt?
Thomas: I'm a part of one these new regional chapters. I never have actually lived in New York City, and I just recently relocated to Chattanooga, where we're having our first meeting on Saturday.
About three weeks ago, we started seeing Strike Debt chapters pop up everywhere. Philadelphia and San Francisco were the first ones, and Strike Debt Chicago is looking like they've got a lot of energy and good ideas. I can't even keep track of all the different affiliates, but I'm hoping that this will create mutual aid networks on a local basis, so that when we mobilize a mass refusal campaign a couple years from now, we'll actually have some infrastructure in place that can support that.
You can't just call for a debt strike. It doesn't work that way. Just like you can't just call for a general strike. You have to put in the legwork and organizing that will make it possible. So, I'm super-excited. The big, pressing question that we're focused on in Strike Debt right now is how to coordinate all these chapters, how to make the most of this moment, and how to use it for long-term movement building.
Fabien: What are some ways that people can participate?
Thomas: The first thing they can do is download the Debt Resistors Operation Manual. If they're near a city that has a Strike Debt affiliate popping up, they can go attend an assembly. Or they can start an assembly.
If you go to the Strikedebt.org web site, we have created a Strike Debt Organizers Kit that's full of practical things for people to do right now. A couple months from now we're hoping to roll out some additional projects. But for right now it's reading the manual, meeting with your neighbors, and forming local Strike Debt affiliates. We're encouraging people to hold open debtor's assemblies, where you start talking openly about how debt functions in your own life.
And one thing that we want everyone to do is to study how municipal debt functions in your own city. We know to some degree how it's functioning in New York City, but I don't know how it's functioning in Chicago or Los Angeles. So that's a research project, to figure out how debt works where you live.
We have also called for a debtor's summit on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, where we can start talking about some of these bigger goals for the movement, like organizing something resembling a debtors' union that you can join.
Locally, in Chattanooga, I've got some ideas that I'm going to propose for ways that we can combat payday lending. Payday loans really shouldn't exist—they used to be illegal in the 70s, and then the courts made them legal. I've also got some ideas about how to shut down these check-cashing services for the poorest workers in our society, who are unbanked. They've got poor enough credit that they can't have a bank account, or they can't have a bank account because it will get garnished. But they need a way to cash their paychecks, and these check-cashing services charge them money to get paid, basically.
I think we can start organizing, as a mutual aid project, a coordinated way for people to cash their paychecks if they can't open their own checking account. Kind of like a Strike Debt check-cashing service that's zero-interest, zero-fee. It's the kind of thing that has to be implemented on the local level to make it happen.
I'm hoping Strike Debt is going to mutate in a lot of interesting ways, and I'm expecting lots and lots of surprises.
That means, we rely on support from our readers.

The Department of Environmental Conservation faces a big deadline this week for its hydrofracking review. But the agency will not be able to get things done in time, in part because of the decision to add in a public health element. And that means it is going to be even longer before a final decision is reached. Our Nick Reisman takes a look at the review process, and what happens next.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- With the state due to miss Thursday's deadline to complete a proposed regulations for hydrofracking, environmental groups opposed to the process and industry groups who back it are wondering what's next.
Sierra Club Associate Roger Downs said, "They can extend the regulatory review for 90 days, which will mean that they will have to put out their draft revisions for the public to see and give them 30 days to comment on it, or they could let the whole process expire and really let the information drive the process."
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced last week that an extended review of the health effects of the controversial natural gas extraction process will push the state through the deadline. That could prolong the regulatory review of hydrofracking for another year.
Governor Cuomo said, "That process is going to be going on. They're not going to get that done within the next week. But it is very important. This is a big decision for the state. It has potential economic benefits if the state goes forward with fracking, but we want to make sure that it's safe and we want to make sure that the environment is protected and people are protected."
The Department of Health and the Department of Environmental Conservation are turning to a panel of advisors and environmental experts to assess the impacts of fracking on people, water and land. Environmental groups are unsure what the role the advisors actually will play.
Downs said, "We're concerned that they're not given the tools or the information they need to make the proper determination, and at this point it's been incredibly foggy as to what they're going to be doing, what they're going to be looking at how much influence they'll have over the process."
For the natural gas industry that wants the state allow high-volume hydrofracking, frustration is evident.
In an open letter to Cuomo sent last week, Independent Oil and Gas Association Executive Director Brad Gill wrote, "Our member companies are now well past the tipping point, and our trust in our state government now exhausted. Most of our business owners have developed oil and natural gas - or provided goods and professional services to the industry in New York - for decades. They truly wonder what type of future they now have in this state."
The advisory panel for the Department of Health is expected to reach their own findings on the health impacts of fracking by February.

Love your quilt so far! It'll be gorgeous when it's done!! :) I'd love to win a copy of this magazine! Thanks!!ReplyDelete
I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw the cover of that magazine! Earlier this year, my non-quilter grandma gave me a stack of hand pieced, hand embroidered butterflies made from vintage fabrics on a plain muslin background. She said she didn't know the history of the blocks, only that she thought her childhood housekeeper gave them to my great-grandmother and that she's been storing them all these years. Its a mystery, and as much as I stare at them, I haven't been able to figure out what to do with them. Maybe the answer is to get some vintage fabric and try to duplicate them so I have enough butterflies for a quilt top similar to the photo on the cover?ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I already knew your were inspiring...ReplyDelete
Congrats! The orange peel looks lovely.ReplyDelete

When it comes to outdoor lighting, the consumer generally has two choices: 12v (low voltage) and 120v (line voltage.) Low voltage works on a direct current and is the most common choice for outdoor lighting needs. The primary advantages of 12 volt path lighting are a minimal risk of electrical hazards, saving on energy consumption, ease of installation, and lower cost. The cables required to feed the current are slimmer and can be placed just below the ground's surface. Apart from this, there are decorative benefits available with low voltage path lighting. There are up to 20 different beam variations per lamp wattage. 12 volt path lighting also offers a selection of lenses which can be placed over the lamps to give lights of different colors. Many low voltage lights now have LED versions which have an astounding lifespan. This means lower bulb replacement costs over the lifetime of the product.
Line voltage (120v) outdoor lighting works on an alternating current and is commonly used for security, commercial, and public use. Line voltage outdoor lighting requires an electrician's expertise for installation. 120v outdoor lighting is mainly used with fewer but brighter fixtures, often where wide-ranging up lighting is needed. Line voltage outdoor lighting fixtures tend to be large and produce a great deal of light.
When installing 12 volt path lighting, the lights must be connected to a low voltage transformer to convert the normal domestic line voltage into low voltage - this allows the lights to function. A single transformer can be connected to multiple 12v path lighting fixtures. Low voltage transformers are rated based on the number of 12v path lighting fixtures they can accommodate and the wattage they support.
The 12V path lighting fixtures offered through our website can be connected to photocells, timers and motion sensors to further enhance their effectiveness and efficiency. We offer numerous 12v path lighting fixtures through our online store to enable you to achieve your desired effect and illumination requirements. These 12v path lighting fixtures offer a wider range of better quality lamps and smaller sizes for more flexibility. For more information on the best 12v path lighting fixtures for your landscape, feel free to e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us toll free at 1-877-385-2104. Our team of experts will be happy to help you!

A flight information screen displays canceled flights at Midway airport in Chicago, Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012. The first widespread snowstorm of the season crawled across the Midwest on Thursday, with whiteout conditions stranding holiday travelers. The storm led airlines to cancel about 1,000 flights ahead of the Christmas holiday relatively few compared to past big storms, though the number was climbing. Southwest Airlines scratched all of its flights scheduled after 4:30 p.m. today at Midway. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)

Updated: December 21, 2012 2:36AM
The winter storm warning was still in effect early Friday morning, but forecasters said the city and most of the suburbs would see less an inch of snow, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures stayed just above freezing in the Chicago area, so the snow didn't accumulate, said Gino Izzi, a meteorologist with the weather service in Romeoville.
"We don't think there will be any significant accumulation," Izzi said. The winter storm warning was to expire at 3 a.m. Friday.
Before it even arrived, the storm had caused hundreds of flight cancellations and a warning of near-blizzard conditions during the rush-hour drive. Ultimately, though, flakes didn't start falling until later in the evening.
Despite the lack of accumulation, wind gusts of over 40 mph downed power lines and caused outages throughout Illinois.
More than 30,000 people were without power in northern Illinois as of 8 p.m. Thursday, according to Arlana Johnson, a spokeswoman for ComEd.
The western suburbs were the hardest hit, with more than 27,000 people without power, Johnson said.
"Winds are dramatically intensifying with the cold air surging," said Ed Fenelon, a meteorologist with the weather service in Romeoville.
Wind gusts up to 50 mph could cause blowing and drifting snow throughout the night.
"Anything that's not secured and is loose could go. There could even be some minor structural damage," Fenelon said.
The Illinois Tollway said it mobilized its full fleet of 182 snow plows in preparation for the storm. It also canceled all temporary lane closures through Dec. 26 to help with snow removal.
In the air, low visibility caused airlines to cancel more than 350 flights at O'Hare Airport, according to the city's Department of Aviation. Delays have been averaging between 30 and 40 minutes for both inbound and outbound flights as of 8:30 p.m.
At Midway Airport, airlines forced more than 150 flights and Southwest Airlines canceled all of its Midway flights after 4:30 p.m. The airport was reporting delays Thursday night, according to the Department of Aviation.
Passengers planning to travel on Friday, and those picking up passengers, should check their airline's website for flight status.
Temperatures were expected to remain in the 20s Friday and drop into the mid-teens Friday night.
"We have not had any cold weather to speak of this fall or early winter. Tomorrow will be the first day in Chicago that we are not going to reach freezing as a high temperature," Fenelon said.

The winning design was produced by London-based Levitt Bernstein Associates. Their design, entitled Pop Up HAWSE (Homes through Apprenticeships With Skills for Employment) tackles homelessness in the London Borough of Hackney. Their premise is to rent out existing garages in the area, and install prefabricated HAWSE units with a bedroom and shower room. Communal kitchens, dining, and laundry rooms are provided for every five units. The most impressive design feature is the cost; the cost of these units is approximately £13,000 each.
The sustainability of Levitt Bernstein's Pop Up HAWSE revolves around inexpensive passive strategies and reusing as much of the construction components as possible. Local products, local labor, and modularization help to keep this an economically, socially, and environmentally responsible project.
Nine other projects won 'Honorable' mention awards for their innovative and provocative designs. Proposals included everything from new construction to reuse of old train cars and culverts. Permaculture was the topic of a few of these units in a way of providing users with an easy and passive source of food. Design locations came from all over the world including London, North Carolina, Los Angeles, Denmark, and Hong Kong. Growth in the submission to Building Trust International's frequent design competitions is a great indicator of the world's continual desire to help others through design and construction.

Max Smith, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Toni Morrison's "Beloved" may have won a Pulitzer prize, but a Fairfax County mother was trying to get the school system to take it out of the AP English curriculum over its depictions of murder, rape and other strong content.
The school system has rejected her request, but it raises the question of how parents can help kids deal with tough issues that come up in the classroom.
Local adolescent psychologist and author Neil Bernstein says it's important to discuss tough issues, whether they come up in the classroom, a TV show, or on the news.
"I think the takeaway for parents should be that if a difficult issue, if a tragic issue, is talked about and presented in the right way -- with compassion, with understanding, with reasonable explanation suited to the age of the child -- the child will be better off for it," he says.
There are exceptions of course, especially for children who may have experienced a traumatic event in the past that could make some issues hit a little too close to home.
"Know your child, and know your child's sensitivity to certain issues, and if something is a hot button for your kid, or a red flag, approach it gingerly or don't go there," he says.
Overall, Bernstein says it's important to remember the goals of teaching tough subjects in the classroom.
"That somehow young people will be better off, that they'll be more empathic, that they'll be more sensitive to people who are less fortunate than themselves, there are all kinds of potential positive spinoffs," he says.

Should Be Your Last Choice
Posted by
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- 1st Choice Movers should be your last if you want your items delivered undamaged and within a reasonable amount of time.
We called and listed our items, they give you a quote over the phone. P told us to just call back if anything changed (we told him we were trying to sell a couple of big items before the move) and he would make the adjustment. I had called/emailed P twice the week before the movers arrived to try to get our inventory updated, and I received no response. I tried to explain that to the head of the mover crew and he said we had to deal with him now, P had nothing to do with it. We still had the items we hoped to sell and had not had our estimate adjusted. Every single item you plan to move has to be on their inventory to get the price they quote you (the estimate is binding for only items specifically identified in the estimate). Otherwise, they give you a new estimate on the spot. In hindsight, it is a bit sketchy. We did the "cubic footage" option
The company has a link to the Better Business Bureau on their site that didn't work. A clue we should have paid attention to.
We end up having limited options as we had set a moving date the day before we had to be out of our house and realized we might have made a mistake in hiring this company. It was stressful and we accepted the adjustment (additional $1294) and they packed our stuff. The moving crew at our home did a nice job packing and took good care of our items. We had packed some of our things in heavy-duty file boxes. They will not guarantee any item you pack yourself, FYI. Then we found out that while they tell you it is 7-14 days for delivery,(from the first date available for delivery that you give them) it also says that it may be up to 21 days due to unexpected delays such as inclement weather, natural disaster, etc. Or in our case, it wasn't convenient.
Our delivery was delayed and when it was to be delivered. The first time they called and said it weighed too much so they would split the delivery. They did not end up sending it that time. They had a new load coming up to our area so we would be on that trip. They would let us know. Didn't hear back so I called them. They had tried again but there was not enough room.
Then the "Experienced Moving Teams" were our next experience. That is where we decided to write the complaint. The crew who packed us, I would consider them as experienced movers. The ones the company sent with our delivery were not.
The first delivery men put all of our boxes in the living room - we had to pay an extra $50 if we wanted them to go up/down the stairs. Our boxes were broken, some taped together because they could not hold together. It looked like they had been thrown and dropped. Broken boxes, boxes so beat up that they had holes in them with stuff coming out. When we started unpacking these boxes, we threw away a lot of what was in them, broken pottery, Christmas ornaments, picture frames, messed up books. The two that were taped together, the items on the inside look like they had been picked up and thrown inside. Not how they had been packed. We figure this was the non-guarantee of how they treat boxes they did not pack. The second crew finally arrived.
Furniture was broken and we found pieces of it outside on the lawn. The man putting our bedroom set together did not read the instruction book we gave him for the furniture. He drilled multiple holes in our bed frame, broke a large piece of the headboard and broke off a part of the sideboard. Absolutely unbelievable. Problem is, the furniture was wood and some pressed board. They do not cover pressed board. It is something you sign off on so they can destroy it all they want. The dresser leg was outside on the lawn the next day, and we found the corner of the other dresser on the floor behind the dresser the next day. Our gorgeous kitchen table had areas where the wood had been scraped off. The boxes had stickers on them when they were packed, but many of them did not have stickers when they arrived and between the two deliveries, it made it difficult to keep track. After completely unpacking, we realized we were missing boxes. I emailed the issues to our relocation specialist, P. No response.
I strongly suggest going with a company that is professional and accountable. Shop around, be a smarter consumer than we were. Make sure they come to your house and you meet your movers. We were treated so nicely in the beginning. Once we had paid we felt they had little accountability to us. As we unpacked I was just more and more angry as we discovered that they took such poor care of things that meant something to us.
FIND ANOTHER COMPANY TO MOVE YOU. Don't believe the nice letters on their site about how wonderful they are as movers!

A very poor moving company
Posted by
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- This move was bought from GuarnateedPriceMoving.com. First Choice Moving was subcontracted to do this job and was the actual mover. The crew who picked up the items in Mesa, AZ, said that quite a few things needed to be packed and that the price would $300, they called back and said $450, then again and said the price ended up to be $700 to do that packing. I agreed that these things did need packing, that they should pack anything they thought required it, and I agreed to pay the money for that service. When the delivery driver arrived at this end there were a number of problems:
-helpers to unload the truck never arrived, so the driver and a small woman companion (his wife perhaps) attempted to unload the truck and deliver to my house. This resulted in numerous items being dropped and dragged and damaged because they were too big or heavy for them to handle safely alone.
-I watched as a number of my boxes were accidentally dropped from the truck to the cement (off the edge of the ramp, breaking the boxes and spilling, in one case, a $1500 piece of electronic gear into the street.
Also I watched the lady lose control of her dolly and bang my $1000 bed on the pavement, chipping a corner out of the leg. The driver dragged my couch across the cement and ripped the back of it.
-They failed to set up the items they were supposed to put back together
The beds, the TV stand, the end table, the coffee table, and the Kitchen table - I finally had to insist that they put the kitchen table together before they left. When I asked them about the coffee table the driver went and got a screw driver and handed it to me.
-the driver did not arrive until after 6:00pm to start unloading
that meant that they were unloading in the dark
I got up the next morning and looked outside to find they had left furniture outside in the front yard when they left
-The packing job was the worse that I have ever seen- even the driver commented that he had never seen anything quite like it.
$300 lamps were thrown (unprotected) into a box with garden shovels and allowed to rattle around -- of course they were damaged (this was a 1st Choice packing box). Lamp shades were folded and crammed inside other pieces of furniture.
Numerous pieces of lamps and furniture that were taken apart - never arrived, making the items useless. A number of ceramic pots broken. Some pots did not arrive at all, the artificial plants that were in them arrived w/ no pots.
Large framed pictures were placed into boxes with no dividers between- a number were broken. All of the above were items they supposedly packed, were in their labeled boxes, - and are therefore responsible for. These are not items I packed-- they are the things I paid $700 to have protected.
-A $500 rifle w/ a $300 case was stolen from the load and never arrived.
The list:
-rip in back of love seat
-scuff marks across the front of sofa
-scratched coffee table
-scratched end table
-scratched dresser
-scratched night stand
-2 broken pots
-1 missing pot
-all artificial plants damaged- many just ripped to shreds and had to be thrown away. Many pieces totally missing.
-$300 TV stand taken apart by movers and parts not delivered, making it unusable
-box spring/mattress stand for bed missing half the casters making it unusable
-scratched stereo speaker and subwoofer
-damaged guitar case and amp
-dings in the television
-scratches in kitchen table
-2 lamps taken apart but the parts are missing
-$300 lamp damaged as described above
-3 pictures with broken glass in the frames
-dining chairs show rub spots through the finish
-one dining chair leg pulled off
-Rifle is missing
-all of the wires for the stereo system are missing so I there must be other boxes that did not arrive
-boxes of DVD's never arrived (stolen also I guess)

Worst Moving Company
Posted by
Pete Gergely
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- This was the worst moving experience I have ever had. From the very beginning, they were rude, unprofessional, and dishonest. They quoted me for my move from Florida to New Jersey with full packing at $2800. To make a very long story short. On the contracted day of the move, nobody showed up. When I called the office, nobody answered. When I called the driver, he was in Jacksonville and had no idea about my move. He said he could be there 2 days later. This caused me to miss 2 days of work at my new job in New York. When they finally came, they were completely unprepared for a full packing job. The office did not tell the movers that we requested full packing with materials. The foreman came with two untrained movers who had never done a move. When they finally started moving out things, things were thrown around, jammed into boxes and treated very poorly. I witnessed the foreman first hand throwing very valuable books into boxes carelessly. Everything was finally packed 11 hours later which is inexcusable. The total bill was $4500! Even though we had a written estimate that was binding could not be overpriced, they did so anyway and I had no option but to sign the paper because they had everything we own in a truck. When our things arrived 1 month later in New Jersey, a contracted company hired by First Choice moved our things in. They made me pay up front even though I wanted to make sure everything was there first.
They refused to work until I paid the balance. When the move was done, I wanted to go line by line to make sure everything was there, but the mover refused and said he already did that. How am I to believe him? Overall, this was a horrible experience and I need to be repaid for overcharging me and for the days I missed at work because they were late from the contracted move date.

You should definitely sue them in small claims court for breach of contract, extortion, and property damage.

Last Choice Movers
Posted by
I'm always suspicious of people that vent about bad moving companies online as with something so complex, there's bound to be one or two horror stories.
However, this company is so unprofessional and unreliable that I felt compelled to add to the list of bad reports. Throughout the process, they were a bit sketchy, didn't return phone calls, couldn't tell me how they'd adjust the quote, etc.
Two days before my move, they called at 9:30 at night to say they were double booked. And then to ask if they were supposed to come the next day. No, two days I told them. OK, we'll be there and we'll call in the morning with the exact time.
After I didn't hear from them the next day, I left several messaged to no avail. When I got through to someone at 4 pm, he transferred me to dispatch who said they wouldn't be able to send a truck my way for 5 more days! They gave me the run around of reasons, transferred me through several departments, called the woman who had called the night before, all to no avail. My move had been on the books for months, and 18 hours before they tell me they don't have a truck, and only because I called them!
I eventually got it out of them that they didn't have enough business to route a truck my way, I guess. However, the way the situation was handled was hugely unprofessional. I had to be out the next day, so rented the closest U-haul and loaded my stuff and drove it myself.
Please choose a different moving company. The more one looks into First Choice, the clearer it becomes that they are unreliable. After reading more reviews, I'm almost relieved that they didn't move my things given how other people's belongings were treated.

Do Not Use This Company
Posted by
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- Moving is difficult no matter what. Across town or across the country. The employees of First Choice Moving in Phoenix,AZ made my cross country move a total nightmare.
My complaint list starting with the pick up.
- I was misquoted over the phone. The moving costs ended up being double the quote.
- It took 4 men 4 hours to load an already packed 10 x 10 storage unit.
- I was asked when I wanted my items delivered. I told the foreman July 22nd. He said it would arrive then. 7 days later, after no sign of my stuff, I received a phone call informing me that the driver would be arriving sometime between August 4th and 6th. Two weeks!! I had none of my things. Had it not been for my boyfriend I would be sleeping in a motel I wouldn't be able to afford.
- Saturday, August 3rd, the driver called me to tell me he would be arriving with my things the next day. My complex does not allow commercial vehicles on property on Sundays for the residents peace of mind. I kindly asked him if the delivery could be made on Monday. He was curt and gave me so much attitude. I am now being charged $250 dollars by the property managers.
- After waiting patiently until 1PM on Sunday I finally received the drivers call, telling me he won't be arriving until 7PM!!! Again, I kindly asked him to consider an early morning delivery on Monday. It is pouring in my new town and I will be alone with a number of strange men in my new home. My boyfriend works nights and I don't know anyone in this town. I am in no way comfortable with any part of this situation.
God only knows what condition my antique furniture will be returned to me in.
No matter how nice they seem over the phone, this company is crap. As difficult and expensive as it would have been, I wish I had rented a Uhaul and done it myself.

4 months and I still have not received my items
Posted by
CALIFORNIA -- First choice Moving and Storage had quoted me a $1200 move. They picked up my items in California and were supposed to deliver them to Tennessee. This was 4 months ago and I still have not received my furniture. I knew from the moment they arrived at the storage unit and called me telling me there was no way they could move my items. I was not there so I didn't know what was going on. My friend was there for me and said they were extremely mean and they were giving him a hard time. Finally after being there for 3 hours, they put my items in the truck and had my friend sign a contract. It said $1200 on it.
Later, they crossed out the amount and wrote in $3500 and said that there are more items than I had originally told them. When asked what items they spoke of, they couldn't tell me. They were supposed to do a detailed inventory of my items and they didn't, probably so they can steal my items and sell them for their own profit. They never delivered my items, and now, 4 months later, they are still in California in a place where they stored them, and will not release them to me. They didn't even deliver them to TN. and they say I owe them $1150 just to get them out of the storage unit in CA. My lawyers have been back and forth and the company will not return any calls, will not send an invoice, nothing.
SO I don't even know if they still have my items. DO NOT have this company move your items. It has been living hell from them for the past 4 months and I am sure once, if ever, I receive my items, they will not be in the shape I left them in. If I would have known more about this company I would have never gone with them in the first place. They quote a low price, but change it once they have your items in their hands. Also they have had their license revoked on numerous occasions and have been kicked out of the BBB a few times as well. you can always buy your way back in. They are a JOKE. PLEASE, do not use this company if you value your items, or your money at all. Don't help keep them in business. Find another company.

I have read about places like this that literally steal your stuff and when you do find it at some storage place, half of it is broken or missing. I hope this won't be the case with you but really really check out your references when doing this, call people who have used them if you can.

First, welcome to Tennessee. Good Post.
This is a good reason to do your research before purchasing or signing a contract.
Good luck

We want to thank you for such a wonderful moving experience! Our family has moved several times over the last few years and has experienced the typical horror stories. However, our experience with you was a pleasure. Your office staff and moving crew were all very professional but the most amazing aspect of your service was how quickly the moving crew worked to try to get us moved. We know they, and you, get paid by hour and yet they hustled the entire 8 hours it took to move our belongings. We will continue to recommend you to everyone we know!

Worst Experience Ever
Posted by
If enjoying having all your stuff packed into a truck alongside 3 other homes inventory and then mixed up and given to someone else this is the company for you! I moved only up the coast and they couldn't even keep my inventory right. They gave me someones old dirty vacume and lost all my paintings and wall photos. Not to mention they gave me $55 in claims and that took over 7 months! This is the worst moving company I have ever had. Your call... I'm just being honest, and trying to save anyone what I went though.

ARIZONA -- Stay away from this company!!! They came to pick up our stuff on the 31st of July and today is the 20th of August and they told us the truck has not even left AZ. We are moving to Boston. They told us it was going to be about 2 weeks so we planned our trip to be there a little before that. First of all, they have really bad customer service they tell you they are going to call you back and you wait and wait and nothing. Last week they told us the truck was leaving on Monday 16th from AZ and they would give us a call. We heard nothing from them and Monday we called and they said the truck was not leaving until the weekend and that they would call us on Tuesday or Wednesday. Again we did not heard from them, so today Friday we decided to call and they said the truck will not leave on the weekend. Now they said it would leave either Monday or Tuesday. They don't even have a reasonable statement why they keep changing the date, and they are not even apologizing or anything.

I have to ask, because I am confused. You had a scheduled pickup for 31 July. 20 days later, you are still planning to use this company for moving. Why would you not reach out to a different company? These people would have lost my business on the 1st of August.
Mrs. V on 08/20/2010:
leet, The items were picked up on July 31. They were to be delivered 2 weeks later at the new location. The truck as not left nor does it seem that it ever will.
Venice09 on 08/20/2010:
Wow, I never heard of anything like this before. I would be worried about my belongings being in a hot truck for three weeks. That can ruin furniture and electronics. I really don't know what to say. I can't imagine not having your stuff delivered for three weeks and counting. Was there a time element mentioned in the contract?
Mrs. V on 08/20/2010:
I honestly would think about getting a lawyer. If they have had your stuff this long with no idea on when it's to even 'ship', I doubt that they are going to give you your items back at all.
And if they do deliver, like Venice said, the items most likely are not going to be in good condition :(
Venice09 on 08/20/2010:
I hesitated to say that, Mrs. V, but I too am wondering if the OP will ever see their stuff again. Moving companies can really leave you feeling powerless, especially when they are so far away. Other than an attorney, I don't even know who a person can contact in situations like this. Are there any interstate laws or regulations protecting consumers?
furnman on 08/20/2010:
Their belongings are more than likely in the moving companys storage area. Moving companies won't ship a partial truck across the country, they hold the belongs until they have a full truck in a general area. They should have been up front with you at the time they gave you the estimate. You should be able to contact other moving companies to get a cost and time frame. They could pick up at the storage area. You should know the poundage from the original company to get an exact cost.
Venice09 on 08/20/2010:
I had no idea this was a common practice. It could take months for a moving company to fill up the truck. I would never agree to that unless there was a deadline. I guess I learned something new today.
leet60 on 08/20/2010:
Thanks Mrs. V, I missed that part of the post. what a nightmare this company must be.

PHOENIX, AZ -- My name is Chris and I chose First Choice Moving and Storage to handle my relocation from Tempe, AZ to Brooklyn, NY. I was very impressed with the level of service throughout my move. The relocation specialist that setup my move was very professional and was able to address all my questions and concerns. I felt like the individual was very knowledgeable on moving details and seemed genuinely interested in my move. The movers that came out to my residence were great! These guys took their time wrapping my possessions and handled my items with extreme care. There was never an instance where I saw them tossing my goods around or rough housing my possessions. My items arrived in a timely manner and the movers took their time to reassemble all my items that required that process. Throughout my move, I never felt like I was just another customer. Everyone I talked with was informative and assisted me whenever I needed the help. I highly recommend this company for relocating out of state or locally because of their stability and professionalism. Thanks again First Choice Moving and Storage!
