When sugar went down, I went to Oahu to find work and ended up married to a wonderful fellow who had TONS of "stuff". Sheesh! Guess it was a package deal, though, he had to bring it all over here with him. We had a trucking company drop a container at his garage (it was a three car garage and full!) so all the stuff just had to be boxed and shifted into the container. We had already boxed most of the stuff and had it waiting in the garage. When the container arrived we hired some fellows who worked at one of the storage companies since they are really experienced at moving boxes and fitting them into containers. That container was packed so tight a pencil wouldn't even fit between the boxes. The truck came back and took the container to Young Brothers and then another truck took it to my house where it was unloaded. Sigh! Too much stuff!
If we were to do it again, I'd be tempted to purchase a container and keep it as a storage container. Possibly put a tin roof over it with big overhangs and cut a window or two into the side and set a door into it later so it could be a guest room or small shop if and when all the stuff ever migrated out of it.
