Furniture Bringing vs Leaving

[HADave]

Well, this is really tough trying to keep onesself from falling into the shouldof wouldof couldof trap. There are certain things that have to go..

Tools and equipment are simply not to be left behind as they are how we are able to get there in the first place. that being said, tools of the home, gardening processing and cooking, cleaning and sewing are also subject to high replacement costs.

Furniture to me seems to civilize oneself not to mention keeping the little wahine happy.... So I guess anything that is not geometrically correct will have to come apart for maximized space...(equipment mainly, followed by reducing the number of duplicate items, such as double nitestands, twin chests-of-drawers, unneccessary occaisional tables and spare beds.

20ft containers are pretty large but they do have their limitations as we are finding but budgets are budgets and we must keep within the constraints thereof....


Thanks everyone for your thoughts they all stand for good reasoning, something that can be sacrificed if not carefully focussed.

I*'m so glad we purchased our container as the 48 hours of loading time a shipper allows for the use of theirs is simply not enough time, if you are trying for everything you can to bring. we are on day 16 of boxing, building crates, for big heavy things, and loading so as to gain max space. Some things have gone in and comeout and gone back in again just to make things fit better.

Aloha Everyone HADave
