I have good news!
Slave labor with 'legal' citizens is alive and well in the good ol' USA!
Rick came up last night and we have been busting butt filling PODS units.
(PODS is a Florida borne franchise to store and move your stuff
yourself...see www.PODS.com for details)
Rick is great at packing stuff. He sorts stuff out, puts it neatly in the
bin boxes, and then blows the snot out of everything with the air gun.
His method works great, but the cloud he makes is quite impressive,
especially when he uses the air gun <lol>..
We broke apart all the shelving units, put them into the PODS unit one at a
time and re-filled the shelves neatly and densely.
It was hotter than snockers today,.but the overcast made it tolerable to
work out there.
Don't tell Carrie, but I had all the shop fans on and the A/C running full
blast all day, with the doors wide open <g>..
Everything won't fit into one PODS unit (or 4), but most of the stuff will
fit into two units.
The milling machine is going out on a car hauling trailer with the car lift.
We quit for the night around 10pm and came in and cleaned up.
What a filthy job. My joy in shop cleanliness with a leaf blower has a nasty
payback when you finally do move all your stuff and see the crap you've been
blowing under there all these years.
More later....

Maybe...
We have a bid in on a place and are awaiting their decision...

Don't want to derail the karma wheel by yelping too soon.

They say its a buyers market !!!!!!!!!

Zinvest does appraisals by street, and you can look at an address and see
each home from the air..
They also show a chart of what each house was worth last year vs. this year.
The guuy behind me went from $920,000 down to $565,000 over this past year.
I did not take such a huge hit, mine dropped $102,000 over last year.

But that is up here, where prices are falling like rain

I can't tell you how happy I am that I was able to lock in at 5.33% 2 years
ago.

I was talking to someone in Phoenix who said that houses that used to turn
in a week are now on the market for and average of 3-4 months.  He said new
construction is selling for almost any lowball offer because of the
overbuilding in the area.  With gas at $3.00/gallon people aren't quite as
willing to move from 10 miles to work out to 25 miles to work.

Willow.com does the same. Street by street appraisals. My son is buying in
the Denver market and so far all the realtors he has talked to are claiming
its a buyers market.

I checkled the house that I grew up in and found that it now is listed
with a brick exterior.
It didn't have that when I last drove by in 2001. The one next door had
a half brick front and one three down the street was all brick.

Hey, they told me the following....

A) 8000# max.
B) Put the heavy stuff in the middle.

I told Rick that my fear was them havong a relief valve in the lift gizmo
(They label them "PodZilla'")
that it won't pick up more than 8000#... My real fear was having to unload
it and reload it for balance.

Rick thinks it's on the light side so far.
I am undecided.

Jeff Rice - 20 Aug 2006 18:10 GMT
Thanks for the thoughts Lenny...
I've moved about every ten years or so, so the routine is pretty standard.
Stupid thing is we are moving several boxes that were unopened from two
moves ago...
