We borrowed a small trailer that hitches to a pickup truck, belonging to a friend with a landscaping company. Used it, and the pickup truck, to haul whatever we were keeping in 3 trips and drove our stuff down there ourselves. I also stuffed my little compact car with smaller furnishings, the fine china, our wedding crystal and linens, in two trips. We probably spent around the same as we'd spend if we paid someone else to do it for us, but at the time I was just really wanting to get out of our house up north and spend some time in our new house in the Villages. So I turned it into a couple of week-long adventures.
