I hear ya on the stress. We told our employees they could work any hours they wanted this past week during our move. They could pick any 12.

I talked the firm into $100,000 worth of IT upgrades for this move, transported the servers in my SUV sitting on a bedding of numerous blankets and sheets, driving 20 mph down the highway, finally got the 8 ft rack into the server room with a 6 ft. tall door, all 3 data and voice circuits came up without a hitch and now we have a hundred other small details to get running smoothly this week. I have a Cisco phone on my desk that has more functions than my computer and I don't even know how to make an outside call, and numerous workstation issues waiting on me tomorrow. AND I have a 24,000 SF building to get cleaned out before 12/31 when we turn it over to the new owners. There are rooms and rooms still full of furniture and crap.

Ain't moving and upgrades fun??? Some call it "progress". I have another name for it and I know one thing for certain, I'm too old for this. :D

I feel for you, in a big way. Have had to move data centers many times over my career. Last year we started planning all the details of our next move to take place in late fall of 2016. They are such a pain to juggle shutdown with no outage impacts and hope like crazy you get everything started back up in the right order to ensure it all works together as it should.
