Our things have arrived

Boxes come out of the truck

Packing material goes back in

It's already one week ago, but here are a few pics of the arrival of our household goods. As it was is storage in Rotterdam for a while, it arrived in two 20-foot containers, instead of in one 40-foot container. It didn't look as impressive as the 40-footer, in which our items arrived in Taiwan, but it still was A LOT of stuff. The moving in was done in very high speed, it took four guys about five hours to unload both containers. The next day, two of them came back to help 'set up the items' as the contract stipulated. Which meant that they put together three beds, two cribs-turned-couches, one bookcase and three wardrobes and they unpacked about 30% of the other boxes. Which means that the other 70% are still to be unpacked. By us! Emma and Janne love the fact that all the items are triple-packed in large sheets of paper, because they make perfect, really big, drawing surfaces.

Our garage as temporary storage facility. At this moment, there's about twice as many boxes in there, and about the same amount in Pieter's studio (behind the white doors in the back). We will have to move all this into the house ourselves... Starting next week Monday.
