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.
