We called PODS, a week early like they said, but they said they would not be able to bring them out to us until August 10, and 14th. It was the last week in July when I called them. This would have put us in the rental house for another month.

When I told my husband about this and he called the Villages Movers and they said this was no problem, they get calls just like this all the time. The movers went to Ocala and they emptied both PODS into their truck and came here to move the stuff from their truck. It took until about 11 p.m.

Moral of this story is either tell them much earlier, about 2-3 weeks earlier, or call the Villages Movers.
Very much appreciate that info - both about PODS delivery and your workaround.

Curious... did you anticipate your home purchase journey to take 4 months or was that longer than you thought it would be? If so, what took the additional time to get it squared away? Any unanticipated surprises to share? Thanks..
