I'll ping ya for any mini-dramas, 2J. Or anything remotely interesting. :-)

Time is pretty much ~crawling~ for me right now. There isn't much I can do in the way of planning my move until I get closer to June.

But as it turns out, my across-the-street neighbor (a sweet widow named Sarah) has both a son and a nephew who live in WA - Issaquah, to be exact. She called them and said they ~had~ to help me once I got there. *laughing*

Since we'd started thinking about the possibility of moving on, I started checking out the 'you move it yourself', places. I found MOVEOUT, to be a good, reasonably priced, source of all different sizes of moving boxes, and they have free delivery! They also have a 'calculator' on their site that helps you figure out how much you need, so you can guesstimate how much it's gonna cost in supplies. We also checked out moving companies, and UPack is interesting because you only pay for the space you use in their truck. If there is room left, they ship freight to the place your stuff is going.

We also checked out the PODS company. PODS lets you keep the container longer, and it's at ground level, so you can fill it as you pack, but it's a little more expensive for the move. What's not clear on their website, is the cost per day as you're packing it.

UPack only gives you the container for two days, so you have to get everything packed and ready to go, but it's less expensive to move with them, than the PODS. Both sites have a way to estimate moving costs, though.
