Moving

We are starting the process of moving from one house to another. A lot of hassle, many things to take care of.

Here's something I didn't know that might be useful to others when in the same situation. When you need boxes, try the ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) store. Where I am they sell for $0.10 each. Not large boxes, but they do hold a fair amount and are easy to carry. If you live where there are no ABC stores then this information is worthless to you, but I thought it would be useful to pass along. Cheap boxes are good to have when one is moving.

Not literally, but there are places with boxes that you can get for free when they're about to trash them anyway. When I worked at Subway I managed to get a few because I worked there, but I had also given plenty away to people at various times because they were about to be thrown out anyway.

I'm told liquor boxes are best due to the heavy-duty construction.
