2010 Our first house we loaded a uhaul bringing down what we needed for our parents to stay comfortably. $595, gas $143, drove straight through.

2012 second house uhaul $795, gas $197, no hotel.

2014 third house used Pods, easier to pack unload than uhaul. Cost won’t help because we got multiple discounts, still in the $1200 range.

2021 Pod storage in SC, for 3 months so the boys could remove their stuff we brought down at their request. Then pod transported to our fourth house to unload 2 bedrooms and dining room.

Our furniture is far better than the junk made today, plus I like pecan color instead of the white set ($7,000) we bought for the fourth bedroom.

In just a few months furniture prices has risen 45% on the items we are considering. It wasn’t a good quality before the increase, so off the list.
