[Northkeep] Moving Plans

[Kathy Herndon]

Howdy folks!

The good news is, we found a house in OKC, and we are closing on the 
25th (and there was much rejoicing...).  The bad news is, Etienne has 
prior commitments both this weekend and next, and won't be able to be 
here in Tulsa.  So I would really love it if I can get some 
volunteers to help get everything packed up and loaded.

This weekend we will be loading a PODS shipping container.  Friday 
daytime 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and evening 7-10 p.m., I could particularly 
use people who know how to pack breakables, as well as a few hefty 
toting-fetching types to load things into the POD.  Saturday we'll be 
working the same shifts, with more need for moving than packing, 
hopefully.  I know the newcomers' workshop will be taking place on 
Saturday, but if you could spare some time before or after, I would 
be most appreciative.  If there's anything left to do, we'll start up 
again at 9 am on Sunday.  Our usual payment for moving help is pizza 
& beer--I was thinking Hideaway, Sunday evening.

The next weekend we have a 17-ft. U-Haul truck reserved, which can be 
picked up either Friday evening (8/26) or Saturday morning (8/27). 
This will mainly be used to move the contents of our storage unit. 
Loading will commence at 9 am, at the storage unit (I will provide 
directions and gate codes if you want to help with this part of the 
job).  We will need to drop off a few things at the house, fill up 
the empty space with things that didn't fit in the POD, then on to 
OKC.  Etienne's recruiting some Wiesenfeurians to help unload when we 
get there.  The most important helper I will need that weekend is a 
driver (or team of drivers) who can drive the U-Haul to OKC and 
return it to Tulsa Saturday evening.

Any time during the moving process, a child entertainer/distractor 
would be most welcome.

Also, does anyone have a dolly, hand truck, furniture mover, or 
whatever-you-may-call-it you would be willing to loan out?

And BOXES--I have some but more are always welcome.

P.S.  Moving companies really have no concept of SCA homes, do they? 
That 17 ft. truck is supposed to be big enough to hold the entire 
contents of our house!
