Boxed in

[felis_ultharus]

Two more weeks until we're out of this pit ^_^

I'll be so glad to be moving from our lifeless brick tenement practically below the highway in Canada's most famous slum, to our new apartment near the river in artsy, student-filled Verdun.

But the question: Where do I find boxes? I've done most of my packing already, but I need at least 10 good-sized boxes, maybe more, to handle what's left of my possessions :/

Try the grocery store.

Good luck! Moving is so liberating.

You must be thrilled to be moving. I can't wait to have my own place. ^_^

I'm hitting Ray up for more boxes. I'm sure if you asked, he'd put some aside for you too. He's got some twice the size of the ones he's been giving me.

If you can get a car or if you can help me carry them I can get some big ones from Canadian Tire. Just let me know if you want me to save you some.

University computer labs and the library. They will have boxes upon boxes that originally held 10 reams of printer paper apiece. Good for packing things like books and paperwork: Large enough to hold a good amount, but not so large they can't be lifted after they're full. Also, the cardboard is strong enough that it won't buckle if it's full of shifty-jangly things, like silverware or CD cases, that keep knocking around inside.

Or you could just do what I did, which was take the sturdier boxes to your new home, upend them on the floor, take them back to your old home, and fill them up again.

You'll look like a total lush, but boxes from the SAQ (especially those made for 12 bottles of wine/booze) are a decent size - big enough to fit stuff, small enough to still be able to lift after. *shrugs* That's what I used when I moved TO Montreal, anyways.

We've got boxes. Steve started bringing them home when it looked like we were moving, but as that does not seem to be an issue just yet... just let me know how many and when to bring them to you.
