Holiday Proposal in Conneticut

2011-12-21T13:03:00.000-08:00

As a local Hartford moving company, we've heard plenty of creative proposal stories from local couples over the years. Every one is fun to listen to and uniquely special in its own way, but earlier this month a young man in Norwich pulled off a proposal that truly inspires the holiday spirit. The 22 year old strung up Christmas lights with his family just as he'd done every December, but this year was special. Rather than loop the lights around their fence, they carefully spelled out "Will You Merry Me?" in their backyard. Later that night he returned with his girlfriend and when they walked across the yard, his family turned the lights on to reveal the message. Although a date hasn't been set, the couple is very excited to start planning the wedding. Stories like this remind us what the holiday season is really about. From our Hartford moving company and our families to yours, enjoy a very happy holiday season.

Hockey in Hartford?

2011-11-15T09:50:00.000-08:00

Hartford movers might see hockey fans and players calling in over the next few years, as resident hockey promoter Howard Baldwin has big plans to bring the sport back to Hartford, CT. Earlier today Baldwin revealed plans for a $105 million update to the XL Center.

This colossal investment has two main goals in mind for downtown Hartford. First, to make the XL Center a main hub of economic activity, and more importantly to bring an NHL team back to Hartford by 2017. Sketches of the plan are without a doubt impressive, and if you're a fan of hockey calling a Hartford mover sooner rather than later might not be a bad move.

For more on the sketches, see the full article in Hartford Business.

From Student to Principal

2011-09-08T12:40:00.000-07:00

This summer Metacomet School had an opening for principal. Who would succeed in taking over the reins? That post belongs to no other than former student Desi Nesmith. Principal Nesmith attended Metacomet during his 1^st and 2^nd grades. Nesmith was the former principal at America’s Choice at SAND School in Hartford. In 2010 Nesmith was honored as Promising Young Professional by the University of Connecticut’s Neag School of Education.

Metacomet was closed last year and underwent renovation as part of the districtwide expansion plan. Desi Nesmith is favorable to the additions while noting that much of the school’s aura still remains. “What I like about it is that you can still see the old building,” said Nesmith. To get acquainted or reacquainted with the Bloomfield neighborhood the best way is the live in the community. One resource to utilize are the Windsor Movers. After a year of construction the Metacomet School hall’s will be full of footsteps and hope.

Logistics / FF&E Providers Can Help Move Business Equipment

2011-07-12T09:30:00.000-07:00

There is always something to think about when running a business. Owners lose plenty of sleep over operations, sales and legal issues daily. Business owners can count on an additional menu of concerns when it comes time to move. Finding reliable people to help you move your equipment comes to the top of the list. Moving a household is often performed by friends and family, but your home does not contain the sensitive equipment your business requires. Even some local moving professionals may only be equipped to handle the relocation of a residence.

To find companies that can help you move your business, you can start by performing an Internet search. For instance, a medical facility might search for 'medical equipment transportation' or 'healthcare logistics'. Companies that specialize in logistics have people on staff that knows how to relocate heavy, expensive equipment. With a multitude of truck sizes at their disposal, logistics companies can usually handle very large pieces of equipment. Additional services may be available to help a business settle in. For example a retail store could benefit from store fixture installation. Once you locate a logistics provider, ask them for some case studies or references to ensure their legitimacy. Considering your investment in equipment, you want to ensure that only professionals are handling it.

Driver Billed After Being Hit By Train

2011-06-01T08:46:00.000-07:00

The Hartford Courant reported that a driver of a car that was stuck by a Metro-North train on Sunday, May 29 was billed for the damages the car caused to the train. Yes you read that correctly. A Metro-North spokesperson said, "the train was where it was supposed to be, and the car was not." Thus putting the blame of the accident on the diver of the car, a 40 year old woman who was driving with her 7 year old daughter. The family was enjoying a picnic near what is designated as a private crossing (crossings that do not have a gate or flashing lights, but trains are still required to blow their horn when crossing). A family that lives near the crossing said that they did not hear a horn before the crash, and they had complained about the trains horn not sounding before. Metro-North said that the horn had sounded. The 40 year old woman and her daughter were injured but nothing life threatening. The 100 passengers about the train were not injured but arrived late to their destination. Be safe, always look both ways when crossing a rail road so that accidents like this don't happen again.

Goofy Laws in Hartford and Throughout Connecticut

2011-02-25T12:33:00.000-08:00

The Hartford Courant posted some of Connecticut's weirdest laws and ordinances. Here are some of our favorites:

- Silly string is banned in Southington

- In Hartford, you are not allowed to walk on your hands while crossing the street. (Makes sense.)

- It is illegal to educate your dog in Hartford. (Your dog will pee on your carpet and there is nothing that you can do about it.)

- Want to kiss your wife on a Sunday in Hartford? Illegal!

- Don't even think twice about planting a tree in the street.

Is no one moving?

2009-12-16T13:18:00.000-08:00

It has definitely been a little slow around the office lately. I know we are in a slow season for moving and in the middle of an economic struggle, but really....so few are relocating?

Now we mainly deal with the Hartford, CT area. So, it could be that this area is particularly effected, but I doubt it. From residential to commercial, local to long distance, the business just isn't out there.

That's enough negative talk for the day.Let's focus on the upcoming holidays and make them great.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Excellent New Year!

Hartford Moving Tips

2009-12-11T10:51:00.000-08:00

Here are a few tips for you next residential move:

Break it down.
Make sure that you seperate everyhting you can into teh smallest pieces possible. Break down furniture, beds, appliances, etc when preparing to pack. This can help save space and save you money.

If it's important, Pack it yourself.
When packing items of value, to make sure its done right, do it yourself. This is especially true if the item is not so recognized as an object of value. Jewelry, Art, and electronics are well known, some antiques may just look like junk to a mover.

Get Good Supplies.
You may be tempted to buy inexpensive boxes and crates....don't. Get good quality packing material. In the end it will save way more than teh minimal cost difference.

So, as you prepare to get ready for next years big move, keep these in mind.

Happy Holidays

O'Tannanbaum!

2009-12-09T15:01:00.000-08:00

I love Christmas trees!

Last weekend I decided this year it was time to get a real tree. So I stopped at the local hardware store that had a bunch of trees outside to pick one out. I found the perfect 5 ft tree to adorn my house.

Getting it home was a bit hard, had to stuff it in my trunk with the back seats down. When I finally put the tree up in my family room.......it was majestic! Loaded that baby up with lights and decorations, then the piece de resistance.....a rotating angel that glows multi colors....awesome.

Happy Holidays
