Right now it is 5 degrees here and 16 in Cincinnati. Somehow I don't think that there is anything happening on the lots today or for the next couple of days. Now if we had started this last winter when it was so mild we would be fine. But last winter they didn't have the new lots, which they still don't have or the new designs. Oh well, maybe this cold snowy winter will ease up early. We have for some reason set February 15 as the date that we will sign the contract. If we take 6 - 8 months from then we will be moving in August 15 - October 15. For some reason this makes me feel better. I have something at which to aim. I am a person who needs a deadline. I have an almost full van load to take to Goodwill and I still have a lot to sort through. I have two boxes of yarn to give away and lot of fabric scraps. We have discussed different options for moving, renting a truck and hiring people to load and unload and driving the trucks ourself. If we would hire a moving company since we are crossing state lines you pay per pound and mile. If we drive it ourselves we don't. We have found a couple of work arounds. UHaul has a list of companies that will drive your rental for you. I know that PODS is expensive and a friend told me that she had the name for a place like PODS, but they were cheaper. I did a little research online and found one called UPack. I filled out the online quote request. They can provide loaders and unloaders. I kept putting in Mainville, OH and it kept putting in Mainville, PA. I changed it to Mason, OH figuring that it was close enough to Mainville. I got a quote back by email and it was very resonable. Rob still wants to look at different places, but this could solve our issue of driving trucks down twice. Things are looking up.
