How to move thousands of books,tools and models.
First you get hold of as many boxes as you possibly can from local supermarkets,if it just happens to be before Christmas as in my case then the wine department will be your favourite port of call,soon you will begin to appreciate those stout whisky boxes and appreciate its drinkers !
Next the long and boring job of packing your chattels safely,rolls of bubble wrap,tape and hours of work ahead,this lot took 30 days so far that included dismantling five sheds into flat packs,the load will take two specialist removal company runs estimated at a 4 hour upload,and a three hour download time with three men and a 7 and a half ton articulated lorry,estimated time out of my life is one and a half years,will I ever find anything again ? well not in the immediate future and the unwrapping will take 24 times that of the packing,a sobering thought ? hardly.

Boxes

Curver type boxes

Every little bit of space filled with boxes

Materials have to be bundled together

Awkward sized items need sorting

Another room with boxes

Looking through a stark lounge at more boxes

A box is a box,whatever its shape and size

What was the entrance to my library now jammed with moving items

What was my workroom,packing those small fragile models is a real headache

One shed has been loosened off all ready for moving,but the contents need moving first,you have to plan,and then re-plan

Looking from the back of my old workroom towards the door

Tools need attention as well,really heavy stuff to pack,old shop drawers come in handy here

Thousands of files all ready to go

Dismantling sheds is time consuming,and hard work,you must label everything and order new screws for the re-assembly process

Christmas items all ready to go,not that we used any this year

Those old large kit boxes have been put to good use
