Do what I did to the puchlist from my companies' latest interior remodel painting project, BURN IT! to achieve closure and move on!



J/K, I'm sure you've looked into moving companies like Mayflower, and Atlas and probably puked at the prices they are asking, and I'm sure hauling it yourself, crosscountry isn't that appealing either. I would think someone here would have a hook-up to help you out w/ the move.

Hmmm, you never said where you are located exactly?



Nice fishing boat would be good though. I personally like the big pontoon boats. Those are really cool. Good fishing and party boat

We aren't taking all that much, but to move it myself it's about $3500 plus gas, if I load it on a semi and they haul it, it's like $4800 which includes gas and is ultimately cheaper at 3400 miles of travel.

If YOU LOAD it on the semi they will haul it? That seems kinda weird, but rules are rules.



Seems fair to me. Good thing about military, they will move all your stuff for free, and you don't have to LOAD a single thing up. But **** does get stolen.



Oh, don't mean to sound arrogant, but take pictures of all your prized possessions/expensive things. Or else something comes up missing, you are fucked. Happened to my parents. About 300 CD's stolen, and a 200 Disc Player. They will get anything they can.

Yea that is what I have been told, apparently you can itemize each thing of value and then pay extra insurance, since we're getting rid of most of the "crap" what's left will be worth itemizing LOL
