Yep, it is official, the turquoise turd is on it’s way to the UK. Not only did we have space for it, but I could have fit another 500 or so books more in that 40′-er. A 40′ container is a lot of container. Everything went well today. Minimum damage to either house or furniture and it was all loaded in the specified amount of time. So, we are calling it a win for the home team!
Here are some pictures.

All of my worldly possessions sitting out on the front lawn like a giant yardsale.

Honestly, it didn't look as big outside as it all had in the house... (though my stash still seemed wicked huge!)

When the truck got here with the container things got interesting.

Home sweet ocean going container

Lots of heavy lifting

Bye-bye truck (notice the spinners on the back wheels!)
Anyway, I am about ready to fall over from tired. I will try to write more and try to be funny later….
