[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 15546624, member: 10303"] I helped a friend move a while ago. He had a full house of stuff. He bought enough heavy, double wall boxes to put everything in and water activated asphaltic tape to seal them with. Each box was numbered, and each box had a big letter on the sides. The letter was to show which room in the new house the box was to be put in. He bought a used 40 foot long shipping container and had it dropped in his driveway. When he had everything boxed he hired a few guys from the local Home Depot parking lot to do the loading. He had a friend in almost every area of the house to watch for tampering, another at the front door checking the numbers off on a pad, and he was at the door of the container marking each box in. Nothing was tampered with or stolen. Then he hired a trucking company to deliver the locked container to his new house and just revered the loading procedure. The total cost came in thousands less than a big moving company would have charged. But even more important to him was NOTHING STOLEN! And after the container was empty he had it hauled behind his house and is using it for storage and as motor toy garage. He even installed power and lights into it. [/QUOTE]
