Hi, Matt!

I propose the following  conceptual sketch of the moving process.

First, I strongly suggest getting a 24’ Budget truck for the cost to benefit ratio.

Cost:

Total truck cost (rental, tax, insurance, gas) can be as little as under $60, if moving day is no later than Tuesday 6/24 or Wednesday 6/25. See attached spreadsheet for details.

Benefit:

Organization – Everything leaves together, moves together, arrives together, and, most importantly, lands together, not piecemeal.

Ease and speed – Everything (besides fragiles) moves on wheels  –no fitting or lifting into trunks or pickups.

Use of labor – Time shuttling can be better spent packing, and anyone can pack. Plus, this way is better for esprit de corps.

Secondly, I’ll be glad to expedite a smooth load and unload. Also, I can pick up and return the truck, if y’all would like.

Third, I can provide equipment – pads, dollies, straps, etc.

Consumables, of course, are needed for packing pronto, IMHO –boxes, markers, tape.  Is anti-static material needed/ thought worthwhile? ( I haven’t priced it.)

That’s the sketch, to be filled in with appropriate details.   I’d like your/anyone's thoughts.
