My other advice to you when moving your home:
Keep your back straight and bend at the knees, Houses can be very very heavy. Dont hold onto your house by anything not structurally sound , like planter boxes or the like.

KEEP ALL YOUR KEYS IN ONE PLACE, AND REMEMBER WHERE THAT PLACE IS!!!

Excellent HofH, your posts nearly always give me a laugh. Thanks for advice and good wishes guys.

Never thought to go to post office for forwarding address - all the post we ever get is bills so maybe I won't bother...

Wife naked posing. Hmmm. Like it but not sure she'll agree. If she does I'll post some pics for ya Weadley.

Must get light bulbs too - out there last night putting in washing machine which is much more difficult in the dark.

put everything in clear plastic storage boxes ... then you don't have to unpack it ...

can make nice garage shelves with two-by-fours and plywood and deck screws ...

one of everything, i guess you got mcdonald's, taco bell, pizza hut, kentucky fried all covered then ...
