YouTubers, Mike Martins here! The big move is getting close. It's the last Monday of January 2017, the house is getting packed up, the moving truck is arranged, the paint colors are picked, and in just a few days I'll be taking possession of the new house.

I'm planning a complete walkthrough before everything gets painted so you guys can see the house as it was when we got it. I'll show you which rooms will become the bedrooms, my office, the gym, the studio and everything else we've got planned. I'll also film the move, unloading and the changes we're making to the house.

But getting ready to move has also meant dealing with something that's driving me crazy: trying to speak to an actual human being on the telephone!

I called to transfer the electricity and spent roughly 40 minutes talking to an automated system before it finally decided it couldn't help me and transferred me to a person. Cable and internet were another nightmare.

Then came Equifax.

I received an alert indicating that there appeared to be multiple credit reports associated with me. According to what I understood from the notice, every time I'd moved, another credit file appeared to have been created even though my identifying information was the same. I wasn't worried about needing credit at the moment — I wanted the records straightened out before they potentially became a problem later.

I spent roughly two and a half hours on the phone, got disconnected, and then had to start dealing with it again. If anyone watching this in 2017 has experienced something similar with Equifax, let me know.

Thankfully, the actual move is coming together much better. My friend Channing, who has professional moving experience, is handling the truck and basically told me: Mike, get out of my way and let me move you! Even several of my neighbors have offered to come over and help.

That's something I really appreciate.

I'm also keeping an eye on the Vancouver housing situation. My previous video discussed BC's proposed change to the foreign-buyers tax for certain work-permit holders, and I noticed remarkably similar questions being discussed on talk radio afterward.

Lots happening, lots of packing, and a completely new chapter coming.

The move is almost here.
