"And so it begins..."
 Jul 19, 2004, 2:35pm, Day 1: The moving truck is maneuvered into the EPH loading-dock. |
 Jul 19, 2004, 2:35pm, Day 1: The moving-crew fills the loading-dock with benches and the truck is loaded. |
 Jul 19, 2004, 4:05pm, Day 1: Due to mis-communication, the loading-dock and freight-elevator in ENG are not available and so the desks have to be unloaded at a side entrance along Dalhousie. There was also a delay while the movers waited for their hard-hats. |
 Jul 19, 2004, 5:35pm, Day 1: Benches that don't fit in the truck are moved manually. Can a lab-bench travelling the wrong way, up a one-way street get a ticket? |
 Jul 19, 2004, Day 1: The good news: the benches fit in the passenger elevator (otherwise they would have to be moved up the stairs); the bad news: only a single passenger elevator is operational and (wait, it gets worse) only a single 6' bench fits in the elevator. Yes, it was a long, slow day. |
 Jul 19, 2004, Day 1: At the end of the day, the tables reach their destination. The maps, showing the table-layout, taped to each desk made their placement easy and accurate. |
 Jul 20, 2004, Day 2: All the gorgeous Violent Purple cabinets are moved on this day, in addition to a few remaining tables. |
 Jul 20, 2004, Day 2: The crew walks down to the loading dock as the truck arrives. |
 Jul 20, 2004, Day 2: The truck pulls into the ENG loading dock. |
 Jul 20, 2004, Day 2: The truck is ready for unloading. The man on the right is the freight elevator operator. Since the elevator has not yet been certified, a qualified operator has to be present. |
 Jul 20, 2004, Day 2: The furniture awaits loading into the freight elevator, which can handle 3 desks at a time. |
 Jul 20, 2004, Day 2: At the end of the day, all the desks and cabinets are in place. |
 Jul 20, 2004, Day 2: Group-shot of the crew from Clifford Moving Services before they head home. The empty truck is in the background. |
