After driving it up, turning it (butting against a coffee table), putting it on the center stand and sticking a Harbor Freight wheel chock under it (picked up the front of the bike) We put heavy furniture on one side and the front, and stuck bags of clothing around it. Bike NEVER moved, not ONE INCH. We did strap everything across the truck so that helped. Bike was immaculate, more so than some of my furniture...LOL

I want to put them in at the end and put mattress and blankets between them

You'd have to pack the truck around them...good luck with that. You also have to have the heaviest items in the front and middle, not the end by the door. I would put them in the middle, at least over the rear axel of the truck.

I would have put the bike smack in the middle. Just in case it jumped, it wouldnt beat itself to death against the box truck's wall.

There were bags of clothing between the bike and the wall. That bike NEVER moved. The chock kept it still also.

I've never moved with a bike before but my brother did. He got a larger truck than he needed and put all the rest of his stuff up front and basically created an immovable barrier out of his furniture strapped down tight. He left enough room at the back for the bike to be on its own strapped to the walls. You could probably do the same thing just going 3 wide on the bikes in the back.

moving blows

Yep. I hope to never move again. But if I do, I'm paying fucking movers. I've moved enough in my life and hate it.

You still did it wrong. Don't argue with me or I'll get Tigger in here to bitch about something and Trip to make an ass of him self.































Don't temp me.

Stuck there now?

I have a plan (I used to have a dream then I got married, divorced, married again and had 4 kids in there so I count on people like drewpy to tell me good stories) - I basically bought a house at a decent deal at the time just before the economy collapsed and now I owe way more than the value so I can't move - BRILLIANT!

I think we've decided to look into building. It's gotta be cheaper to do it yourself, or noone would build then sell. At least that way we could do our own drywall, painting and finishing of floors and save some money. It's worth exactly what I paid for it, and designed the way I want it.

Do you research first!

There are certainly lots of advantages to building but it isn't necessarily cheaper.

I'm not sure about Nashville's local economy but in the hardest hit parts of the country (I'm in S. Florida) it is cheaper to buy than to build. The prices of housing fell way more than the prices of materials.

DIY will save some serious coin but is also a LOT of work.

Just some food for thought....

It is the same here. Buyers are paying a 10% or larger premium for building a house over buying a similar house as a resale. I know one person recently who paid closer to 25% over similar resales.

I moved cross country... Company did it... paid to pack up all my shit, comped me for miles, and gave a fatty bonus to pay for a hotel, food, and shit while I looked for a permanent place. Found the place quick and pocketed a couple grand. I highly recommend it.

[derf]

Yeh my cost is gonna be a few hundred out of pocket, but theestimate I got was that they would give me a little over 5k
