Can't you start your own thread about ^^^this^^^?! - Flint
Yeah I could but I am feeling like a lazy lurker today.....so instead I will re-hijack this banter thread and redirect it back to moving Mari...
ahhhh I love Mondays!
Mari - one possible route is to look at freight movers - that's how I am moving my things to New Mexico in July... the UHAUL total move, including gas was over 4 grand! (mind you I am moving 1842 miles - so it's a longer trip than you) BUT - moving my entire household through a freight mover is costing me approx. $1600... they bring a shipping container and leave it at your home - you pack it and then they come and take it to your destination... possibly this could be a solution for you...some charge by the amount of space you take on the truck - some charge by the pound... but it is something to look at.
Also - the first time I moved from Virginia to Seattle... I found a long haul trucker who was making a coast to coast trip with a light load... he moved all my belongings for 200 dollars ... hell he was going that way anyway!
I hope you get all this worked out - if I was already in NM I would grab Ferret and we'd come lend a hand!!
(how f***ing sweet I am to drag Ferret into this!
Sorry Ferret!!)
