Not going to happen. I've done that in the past we were in the military and it's the one thing I regret getting rid of the most. He can get rid of his outdated Britannica's first which take up more room then my paperbacks ever have!

We use to work in Charlotte when we lived in Boone. I think it's a bit too far from the in laws and they are helping us with paying for the move.

Two of my four cousins attended 4 high schools. I know the military moved and packed them, but my aunt can move into a house and have it all unpacked, decorated, and organized in 2 weeks! I've seen it many times. Somehow that organization gene skipped me.... Happy Reading! Joan

Yep! I've been there. Orders come down and you got 2 days usually to box it all up and get to the your next PCS. Luckily it only happen 3 times when my hubby was in the Air Force. When they civilianized his job, we had the choice to get out or for him to retrain. The retrain was not really an option due to my health at the time so we got out. He's always regretted that.
Those moving companies are a joke. They are always break stuff and overcharge. I don't miss that part.
