Well as we are moving everything out of the house, that is getting auctioned off Saturday morning.
This is one thing I was not looking forward in moving. But my baby wants it. She shale have it moved.
Well on Wednesday evening Jake (Jeanne's son) came over and looked at and we moved it from one room to the living room.
Now this thing weights around 600 pounds +++. So as we moved it on a piece of carpet, it really was some work. But as Jake pulled the carpet I pushed with all my might. But as we talked about it, thinking okay we get it out the door, then what? I was thinking dropping it into the back of my truck. Then what? Oh it is raining outside as we talked some more. Jeanne spoke up and said how about renting a lift gate truck? Okay that sound s good. But Jake will be out of town during the rest of this week.
Okay we left it there and we will find out who can help us.
Jeanne made a couple of phone calls. Calling Pastor Craig (Crossing Church) if he knew how we can get this done?
He called back and said we can use the lift gate truck from the Thrift Store. Plus he will bring a couple of guys. GREAT NEWS.
Okay we did have a couple of items to give to the thrift store anyway. So yesterday afternoon, John showed up with the truck. We loaded up another gun cabinet. Plus a small storage closet. Around 1 pm Troy came by. We took down the big screen TV. Gave that to the thrift shop. Plus a couple of carpets.
Okay now we loaded up everything for the thrift shop.
Now we need to load up our stuff.
A kitchen table, Gazebo (new, in box), Jeanne's cook sheet machine, a piece of granite ( counter top) Plus a couple small items. NOW the safe. We dropped it down on a 4 wheel dolly. Pushed it towards the doorway. NOW what? They had a piece of plywood in the truck and we made up a ramp to go out of the doorway. It worked some what. It came off of the dolly. Okay Craig showed up now and we manhandled it to the lift gate of the thrift truck. Used two dolly now to get it on the lift gate. Raised it up and pushed it into the truck. Okay that was fun??? NOT???
Now we got to our house, that is where we live. Had some trouble getting the lift gate to pull out from under the truck. But after a few minuets they got it out.
NOW LET US MOVE THE SAFE???
Got it on the lift gate. Let is down, slowly. It wanted to roll off a couple of times.
On the ground and now what? Got the 4 wheel dolly under it, some what? Started rolling it to the front door. It came off again. Mean while my little girl is not to happy about the scratching the gun (safe).
I am very sorry that it happens, but I believe we will get it in and we can touch it up.
After a couple of tries we got it into the house. Now have to get it into the bedroom (office)
It is in there laying down on it back. Now we need to pick it up and stand it in the corner.
After a few tries we got it in place. We are so grateful that it is here and looking forward in taking these guys an their wives out to dinner after our time away.
We unloaded all the rest of the goods .We were so happy to say
THANK YOU THE CROSSING TEAM.
