whom did you use?
we were thinking of using royal hawaiian movers. i haven't inquired yet, but will they deliver to a property on private graveled roads?

thanks damon, i knew you would respond being that you just moved back recently.
i'm not really understanding. we pack our belongings into a u-haul. then we take it to young brothers and unload the belongings into the container? you're not saying you load the u-haul into the young brothers' container, right?
sorry, for the silly question. i'm a newbie to moving. never did it before.

mahalo nui loa, damon. guess i'd better start building up some muscles to carry furniture.
the only drawback would be that the dining room table is a large sheet of glass that is quite heavy and then the living room table has two pieces of glass.

will try jay. we're looking at closing in mid november with a move in mid december and that's only if the seller repairs some shoddy roofing. he attempted to do it himself, but it is recommended by our home inspector to have it done professionaly.

**bump**
just got an estimate today from a mover. they're saying that we have app. 6000lbs and the cost is over $5000. think we're going to try it ourselves and see if some guys/gals can help.
my only concern is the glass table top or glass in general. any ideas?

Bubble wrap the glass, then use shrink wrap around it. You can get the wide wrap that is like saran wrap only heavier at Costco, but get it in the wide box. Use a hair dryer on the wrap to shrink it, so it is snug all the way around, then you can also tape it to hold it in place. Just be prepared that it might still get broken. Glass is a hard thing to move, but it can be done.

thank you.
it would cost a bundle to have to replace it.
