Mike, I'm staying in Stratford, about 5 minutes from where I'm at now.

The killer is that all our household effects are in storage up in Franklin about 80 miles away one-way.

Ken: going slow as you can imagine with the distance involved.

And I suspect snow over the years blew into the shed and wetted the partical board cores under the veneers which in turn swelled and thereby popped the corner seams, and otherwise water marked the veneers.

So some of our furniture is slightly blemished.

There are mice droppings everywhere, we have yet to get to the leather couches and club chair, so we don't know their true condition.

Thanks Mike

I presume you've seen my truck, so I can haul a lot in one load without a trailer.

Though I do need a trailer to take the cement lined safe.

Ya I used to live in Norwich, up on Briar Hill Road, out by Walmart.

Brian:

I suspect a Jerdan would cost too much for the trip.

I did use twin-cable wreckers before to lift the safe and then I'd back my pickup underneath it as the wrecker can't get it high enough to go over the sides.

But I don't have the pickup truck anymore, just my van and I doubt that they could boom the safe into the back of the van.

I wonder if that style wrecker has been antiqued already?
