UGH! The truck arrives.
The movers wrap some furniture out on the patio.
The "master packer." This guy sure knows how to load a truck!

Four of the moving guys pose for a picture after everything is loaded.

The truck arrives in Ponte Vedra Beach & the unloading begins. I'm surprised there are only 3 guys to unload since their were 5 guys to load.
I was responsible for logging everything in as it came off the truck.
There was an inventory checklist for each of three colors of tags.
Making progress. The truck is a little more than half empty.
They struggled to get these huge file cabinets upstairs. I have two offices upstairs. I'll call them "left" & "right." These cabinets are in "right" which is larger than "left." There are also custom cabinets in "left." For some reason I labeled twice as many boxes to go in "left" even though it's the smaller room. There are boxes stacked to the ceiling & they fill the bathroom & bathtub.
Derrick is happy it's over!
So is everyone else, but they sure don't look happy!
