Packing the box!
John Hill:
According to the owners handbook my 'sporty' model of the Falcon ute is good for 500kgs.
I loaded it up again last evening until it really, really, did need to have the mirrors adjusted!
The scrappie was pleased to see me an pressed a few more "C" notes into my palm. According to his scales (which I think we can be assured do not exagerate) the total weight was 499Kgs.
John Hill:
Two big trucks spent an hour wrestling with the big box and it has finally gone away up the road leaving me with 3 empty garages and only my lathe remaining! It should be at the new house by Friday.
The house packers disappointed somewhat by advising that they will not be able to pack the house until Feb 1st or so which leaves us with an extra week in town to see the sights we missed since 1977 when we arrived in Wellington!

Be thankful for the extra time to close down and clear out of the old place, John. You'll have all the time in the world to settle into the new one.
I'd hate to move; been here since 1973, when we bought the house back from the folk my Granddad sold it to. I've been widowed for 6 years, and 4 bedrooms might seem a bit OTT for a chap on his own. But one is my office, another houses my lathe, and there's still plenty of room for a lifetime's junk collection of possibly useful artefacts.
Good luck with the move.
Andy
John Hill:
Thanks Jim, a nice new shop just through the door from the lounge!
Andy, thanks, I have taken numerous loads to the land-fill and a few to the scrap dealer and still the container weighed 8.1 tonnes when it got down to the rail depot.
This should be my last move, it is our retirment home in the town where my family live. We are hoping health matters will enable us to stay there till the end whenever that might be.
The house has 3 bedrooms and is specially designed for the needs of senior folks, wide doorways, wrinkly friendly bathroom, no steps or stairs, drive in access.
