It looks like everything’s falling into place. We’re selling the house in Bend, and buying the house in Las Cruces. We’ll be able to move directly from one house to the next, with no tedious renting or storage of goods. And we make a profit on the deal, which will help extend the time I have to find a job.
We’re using ABF’s Upack to haul the goods, while Anna and I enjoy the high life of driving three days with two cats in the car. Upack drops off a trailer, we fill it ourselves, then someone else drives the truck and feeds it fuel. When it arrives, we unpack it again and they come and take away the empty trailer. Sounds ideal to me, especially since we have doubts we can fit into U-Haul’s largest truck. We’ll let you know how it goes as we move through this process (whoops, sorry about that pun).
Tomorrow’s the moving sale, and Easter Sunday we’re having a house-cooling party. We need to try to get rid of some snack foods and a certain amount of premium liquor, so come by if you’re inclined…. Poker may occur. Sorry about the date. I guess the Pope won’t be coming.
We start loading the truck on the 20th and will be finished by Monday morning (the 24th). Any and all help would be appreciated. Everything that can be boxed will be boxed, but we need to move some fairly heavy furniture.
Monday the 24th is when the driver takes the trailer away and we hand off the keys to the new owners and make a run for (50 miles north of) the border.
And why are we moving? Long story, tell you later. Right now I’ve got some boxes to pack.
