Helping Derek and Chantal Move
Wednesday, August 02, 2006That’s what I did today. It was good to roll the old truck out once again, and the trip to Spokane was just a lot of fun.
We really started helping at around 9:00, bringing boxes down from the 3rd floor, then packing my truck w/ boxes. Russ came with his Surbussan and a cube trailer, which took the other stuff, like hide-a-bed couch, bed, and the rest of the furnature / boxes / bikes.
In Spokane, the shipping container was 6’ x 7’ x 7.75’. That’s small (in case you were wondering.) One of the topics of discussion, was how much gas would it cost for me to drive everything down in my truck / trailer combo - and would it be worth it. The difference was about 3-4 hundred dollars, so we continued in packing in the stuff. Barney did most of the fitting, and did a good job of it. We were able to fit in all the boxes, couch, bed, table and some odds and ends in that dinky space. The things left behind will either be sold, donated or held onto and delivered later.
After that was done, we had supper at Russ’ as a informal going-away party for TheDCStory.com. Hung out with Barney after that.
