The NYC Relocation Steeplechase

As of last Friday, the Tiny Fun House has a new location, near 82nd and York. If you are scoring at home, that is eight blocks north of the original version. But, as dedicated readers of this space, you probably already know that. So, I’ll concentrate on some behind-the-scenes details about the moving process....

It’s done! After a full night’s sleep, guest contributor Mark will fill in some of the details of the two-day moving process. Two days to move 300 square feet of stuff into a 400-ish square foot apartment less than a half-mile away? Yep, if you include the time spent running up and down six...

Pre-move update

I promise I’ll get a map of the new place up, as well as a video tour of our old apartment. Even if it’s filled with nothing but boxes (thanks to Melissa). We’re bringing in an expert for the actual move: Mark the non-Dad is riding up from Northern Virginia with me tomorrow evening...

A public apology

An admission: On sight of the ediface of our new building this evening, I doubted (out loud, by mistake) that it was much larger than the TFH-South. I paced it off with my 100 percent affectation cowboy boots. Upon returning to our current, very humble abode, I determined quasi-scientifically that the new apartment is...

The End of the Tiny Fun House

Come August 1, our neighbor will have to yell at someone else. We are packing up the Tiny Fun House and movin’ on (further) up to the (more Upper and more East) East Side. The “up” part of our “movin’ on up” is misleading, because though we are moving in a northerly direction, we...
