The New Studio Saga
May 15-18 (The Move Part 2)
Steve Davis, Anden Houben and LC Stewart helped with loading, and Linda and I unloaded. Probably the worst part was getting my 4,000 lb + Oliver Lathe out of the studio and onto a trailer. It is about 12 feet long and was very awkward to handle. Anders Hardware again helped with a forklift in Northport, LC drove it down and White Bluff Building Materials helped us unload it.
A 26 foot-long truck is about as large as you can rent without a commercial driver's license - but it holds about as much stuff as you would ever want to load and unload.
It took days to sort and squirrel away all the lumber onto the racks. We must have moved about a cord of shorts that were too valuable to throw away.
Some guys are just plain hard on their wives. Linda stuck it out through the whole miserable ordeal. Sometimes the only thing left to do is "Slab It."
