When we moved out of our apartment last
year, I had a total of three people helping me,
but never at the same time. It took hours and
hours to get everything relocated, and it
probably took at least five or six trips, since we
only had one pickup truck and one minivan,
but never both at the same time.

Last night, I called in two of my old high school
buddies (including the Scotsman), my
brother-in-law, and my dad to come out and
help me move all our stuff out of storage and
into the new house. One of my buddies
brought his brother along, so that made six
men including myself. I borrowed our large
church van and trailer, plus we had the pickup
truck, minivan, and two sedans.

We completed the whole process in under two
hours. We arrived at the storage facility at 7:05,
and got started around 7:10. We were loaded
up and ready to go at 7:58. After a 25-minute
drive to the new house, we did the same in
reverse.

"Too many cooks spoil the broth" may be true
in the kitchen, but when it comes to relocation
engineering, "many hands make light work" is
the adage I'll choose to go with.
