Room With Askew.

I have begun to realize that we have a natural propensity to forget the actual dimensions of things. For instance, when my wife and I were looking for apartments, the realtor said that apartments always look smaller until you get your stuff in them. Thinking she was crazy, and myself being crazy, I began to draw a to-scale schematic of my apartment and furniture to see what would fit. According to the numbers, everything should go in fine. And the numbers, they don't lie.

This brings me to my current dilemma. I've rented a 17' Uhaul (which is 20' total) to move my one bedroom apartment cross-country. My coworkers believe that it should easily fit everything I own. My wife, not so much. She thinks the 24' truck (26' total) would better hold everything and we wouldn't have to worry. I am under 1' from front to back, and frankly I would hate to schlep 26 of me around New York, no matter the time of day.

Only time will tell if the truck it too small. Fortunately we have a back-up plan. Let's hope we don't need to use it.
