Default Moving in August 8

I'm trying to decide whether it's better to use a moving company where I live now (Alabama) or use one from the villages area. Any suggestions?

I have seen people rent PODS and have them unpacked when they arrive.

Post Moving

We rented a 24 foot Budget truck, loaded it with the help of a few friends and drove it from Maryland. It was full and we brought very little furniture. We had arranged with some people here to unload the truck. Now the boxes are in a 2 car garage at the house we rented until settelment (June 18). I will move the boxes by car over a few days and then rent a small truck to move the larger items. The cost so far, about $800. We figured we would buy new furniture with the savings.

Default I know what a problem moving is.

I think someone said that it cost $.50 (fifty cents) a pound to have things moved by a professional mover. We rented a trailer four times and brought things to our house in Hadley, little by little, and then we bought things at Bargains and treasures and locally to complete the house.

NOW we have a house full in Hadley and a house full in West Chester, Ohio. When we move permanently we may sell our house in Hadley furnished and bring things down from this house. HOWEVER, we can't do that because we love the folks around us on our street in Hadley.

I am in the same state of mind that most people are when moving completely to TV. What am I gonna do with all this stuff!

I think I am gonna price out a POD. Anyone know the cost of that??

Call for estimates in both locations. Give them an idea of how much you are moving.

There is a 10% discount on the pod if you used Remax.

PODS are overpriced. Rent a U-Haul truck and use their online EMOVE helpers when you get here.

When you change subjects you need to start a new thread.
Thank you from all of us on TOTV.
