We are moving tomorrow. The other day I said to the misses, I think we have too much for a quick move with the go slow guys we have coming. They are the only ones within miles of where we are, used them last time and it was like I was watching people in slow motion milking the time, payed by the hour. So I organised a light truck and we took all the plants and things from the garage and shed. Phew, glad we did. Took two and half hours load time and the same to empty at the new place. That's 5 hours save time. Cost us $230.
Them $170 an hour. We're in front.
But what a drive. Almost, and I mean so close to getting run off the road going there through the bush by a double b road train. He swerved towards us and if I hadn't dropped the passenger side wheels onto the gravel off of the bitumen we'd have been hit. Took me 15 seconds to keep control feeling the truck trying to sway wanting to leave the road. Some of these guys driving these rigs are a.....les, on their phones paying little attention. I was glad when we arrived.
Good luck hope all goes well. Watch out for spiders, snakes, all the WTF! things Australia has.
 

Cool!
Pricey.
I'd be willing to test/ sink one in the swamp though.

Today I dragged a bag of deer feed afield with crutches and a rope.
(Disclaimer for the possum cops cruising the internet rather than actually going outdoors , feed is legal for the upcoming disabled hunt within this time frame.)

Didn't get the clank wobble out of the fifty dollar electric chair I cleaned up and put new batteries in. Twice.. But did charge it again the other day.
The way the chair fits on it's base (base can be raised and lowered by operator) it has a gap in between it's tubing sizes. wobble and clack is slight. But amplified on rough ground or transitions.

It remains in the house on reserve in case one of us here needs it. Probably a good thing...
