Well trip is over, sore back and boxes everywhere. I managed to grab a few pieces of my 5.6 engine project out of the storage unit but not enough to make any real progress-mostly the block and related. I had lost the key during packing and ended up driving to home depot to get bolt cutters and a new lock with the Uhaul truck-added a few hours to a 11 hr trip.

Mostly recovered from the move but still have a large storage unit in Nv with my coupe and other stuff. The landlord ripped us off for $500 when we vacated our rental in Nv so pretty ticked off but I have almost let it go. It's not worth going to court over. I think they take just enough so you wont fight them over it.
Nice to be finally settled.

Sounds about right. Sorry to hear it.

Here's hoping you enjoy your new location as much as I do every time I visit ! .

Landlords are often as bad as Lawyers .

Of course, that is from a Tucson perspective.

are you sure you spelled Tuson correctly ?

Yea I looked them up on the web and there are numerous complaints. having never rented I was not expecting it. I should have known when the owner of the company wrote a "friendly" email asking us where we were moving to.

Interesting ~

I'm from Down East and have never seen Tucson spelled sans the 'C' .

Maybe because I'm old I guess .

Even more interesting is why he comments on a year old post and questions the spelling of a locale written by someone who lives there.

So I'm gearing up for the last installment of the move to empty our storage unit before winter shuts me down-it's already freezing overnight where my unit in NV is. A friend is driving me to NV where I will rent a 25' Uhaul and auto trailer to move my coupe here. A few weeks ago I made 2 back to back trips to the storage unit.
BTW loving it here. Weather is great and people are friendly. I bought a desk off Craigslist and they gave me 6 Dungeness crabs along with it.

Scenic! Good luck with your new home!

Thanks. We have not been settled since April 2016 when we decided to sell our home of 27 years. We watched the 4th of July fireworks over the ocean from our front porch-really cool!

Last installment of the move is over. A friend drove me to Nevada where I rented a U-haul truck and auto transport. I had one day to load the truck and get my coupe on the trailer then drive back to Oregon the next day. I had to detach the trailer so I could load the truck. The truck/trailer ended up being too long to back up to the unit so I ended up rolling the car out into the access and backing the truck to it-a real pain as it was dark, late and cold and I was tired from loading the truck all day. then winching the car onto the trailer. 3:30 the next day unloading in Oregon-the trailer was downhill and the car would not roll off the trailer to the point of the winch controlling it-another pain but I managed to rock it and put a board under the tire to keep it from rolling back.
I can't believe what a great deal I got on the storage unit-it's 10x30x12' high for $130@mo. I could not get a unit here for many months but I noticed they were auctioning units and I got on the waiting list. 1 week later I got a unit. Once I get my shop done I won't need the unit. I plan on contracting the construction of my shop-If anyone has interest I will start a thread.

? A home shop I assume ? .

Sounds great to me, don't forget the details like floor drains and sufficient room between the vehicle space and walls to work and store things.....
