The Mayflower crew (All American out of Raleigh) was outstanding.  They moved 17,260 pounds yesterday into storage.  We have 3 storage units (10 x 15, 10 x 10 and 10 x 10).  Gregory, the driver, masterfully packed the largest one to the max.  This photo shows it just starting to fill-up.

And this photo shows it packed full.  We have a climate controlled unit for mattresses, Jack’s record albums, the banjo, the dulcimer, Uncle Mac’s buffet, and glass framed pictures, sofa, and more.  At the end of the day, we had to rent another 10 x 10 for spill-over.

Jack stayed at the hangar building walls for the shed (so we can store some of his tools out of the hangar) and I drove five pick-up loads of things from the moving truck to the hangar.  At the end of the day, I asked Gregory where our file cabinet was.  He said it was one of the first things he put into storage.  That must have happened while I was between sites. There is NO WAY I can even sift through this unit to get anything but a gas can, a boat oar (which we should have left in Bonsal) or a bar stool (as seen in the photo).  Hopefully we won’t need it for tax audits of anything.  Many of my B & B ideas are in files in that cabinet, but oh well, I have Pinterest and HOUZZ now!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jack has erected 2 walls to the shed and at 9 am, it is already 95 degrees!

Today is the official closing on our house in NC but we have already signed the papers.  Hopefully the buyers (who are in Arizona) have signed as well and overnighted them back to the attorney!  Cuz, we can’t turn back now!!
