For a long time I have warned my wife that it is expensive to move things 1200 miles and some things will not go with us. Defiantly, she has said “yes it will”. Tonight, some reality sunk in.
We watched a YouTube video that estimates a 16x8x8 pod would cost $2500. The pod actually only hold 870 cubic feet, and only that much if you are really good at packing it. One pod would hold at most 230 of our totes. It would cost approximately $11 to ship each tote!And that’s just the totes!
A large cabinet in our living room would take 20 percent of a pod. Panic set in as we realized we might need four 16 foot pods! That sounds insane. 64 feet of pod space? 3500 cubic feet to move a 3500 square foot house (counting the basement)?
The magnitude of this endeavor is settling in, and it feels a little overwhelming today.
