    Moving. Oy!

    I checked PODS first, they don't serve my area. Tried U Haul pods, they were too small, I would have needed 2. Went to U Haul truck, made arrangements then found a moving company that does it for only $150 more than doing it myself. I'm disabled so doing my own loading was not looking good...

    Moving. Oy!

    I've been planning on moving for a few months and it's down to the wire. I went through renting a POD, U Haul, and when it's all done, I can get a moving company to do the pick up and drop off for only about $150 more than the U Haul would cost. I just have to pack everything which is no big...
