Moving

[Mike Davis]

We're moving my shop, all my wood and our library this weekend.

Could use some help loading books in boxes, setting shelves in place and reloading shelves if anybody has some time on Friday, Saturday or Sunday please let me know.

We have three who will drive trucks/trailers and I think that will be great. But really need help loading wood, machinery and setting up new shop.

Buying this house has left me with limited resources but I will make sure that everyone who helps will be rewarded in some way. Even if it is only a good meal and my thanks for now.

Mike,

Wish I was able to make it up! Got too much going on around here.

Best of luck on the move!

Mike I'm planning to help you Sat. Do you want me at your Westfield home address? Please post that address again so I can put it in the GPS. Even though I've been there before, GPS saves making wrong turns.
Do you want me to bring the trailer, or just the truck?:icon_scra

Mike, I wish that I could make it up, but I am slammed on just about everything here at the farm with no letup in sight. Best of luck to you.

My son Andy and I should be there at about 1000 with truck and trailer.

 

[sawman101]

Hope to be there by 1000. I'll be bringing along your trunk.

 

[Bill Clemmons]

I should be there by 10:00 too. Just me and the truck. :wsmile:

Bill,

Don't forget the wood!

Thanks everybody.

Ham biscuits and veggy soup for lunch.

 

[ScottM]

Good luck Mike. I can not make it on Sat.

PHASE I begins.

Phases 2-100 to follow.

Good luck with the move.

I think yesterday can best be described as two trailers, four trucks, seven men, and one great day for moving and getting to know some fellow woodworkers. And with all that, "Phase I" is probably a good assessment of what we accomplished yesterday. I don't know about a phase 100 Mark, but I can sure see a phase 4 or 5. :gar-Bi We started about 10:00 and I'd say we got a little over half of the shop moved, and a smaller percentage of the house. The crew consisted of myself, Bruce (Sawman101), Jim (jmauldin), Jesse (meredj), his son Andy, Mike, his son Collin, and Mike's wife Pam. We took a break for lunch and Pam fed us soup, ham biscuits, and baked sweet potatoes. Pam, the soup and potatoes were really good, but those ham biscuits were awesome. Thank you!

And for the "This Thread Is Worthless Without Pics" crowd, here ya go. A motley crew if ever there was one. :rotflm: Jim, Mike, Jesse, Bruce, and Andy. I managed to stay out of the pics. :gar-Bi

You can find the rest of the pics here.

Mike, just let us know when you need more help.

I had initially signed up to help but had to back out because of the Fall Drawing on Saturday in Raleigh. Mike, please let us know when Phase 2, 3, 4 and more will be scheduled and I'll endeavor to get to one of them. I just hope they are not over the next two weekends because I'll be traveling both of them!

+1 on what Rob said.

Bill,
Good pics. It's a shame you only showed us standng around, or Jesse sitting down on the job. It was a great day and looking forward to phase 2 - whatever.

We was standing around because Jim was doing most of the work anyway! :gar-La; It was a great day with a great group of guys. Mike and Pam could really use a little more help getting some of their stuff moved to the new ranch, especially the lumber stash, as well as a lot of other things. I wish we could have accomplished more, but a day goes quickly.:gar-Cr And Pam's a great cook too!:eusa_danc

 

[Mike Davis]

Could you guys PM your mailing address to me please?

Pam wants to add you to the Christmas card list.

Thanks!

Phase II - Saturday Dec. 4 - 10 am

Please let me know if you can help.

Here's what we got done so far.

Plenty of empty rooms to fill.

Plan to be there Sat, the 4th.
