Up at 4:30 a, worrying about how I was going to get my treasures into a truck, then removed. Though I am usually not a worrier, I was with this deal. By 7 I decided to take action to allay my fears, so ventured forth to gas up Gina. However, actually the morning run was more to find a loo. Not having water means no plumbing, and while #1 can be done in a cup the other needs plumbing.
I know TMI, though I’m sure you’ve wondered.

After returning from the gas station with fill up, and the other out, removed the tarps from the “treasures” then made my way to the U-Haul store.
Yesterday after making my reservation with a man whose primary language wasn’t English received a reservation stating I was renting a truck in florida?!. I quickly called 2 minutes before the store closed, and thankfully he picked up and the reservation was cancelled.. Whew!!!
I then went on line and found another U-Haul vendor actually nearer my home and made a reservation. This one was actually perfect for my needs as it was not a 15 foot truck.

While the decor of the new U-Haul shop was one from a horror show, (car repair shop) , the vendor was a young man who was a delight. With reservation completed I was promptly on my way to pack the truck.
The young U-Haul man explained the landfill process, and answered my questions on how to pack the truck. Upon departure I would pack the soft items in the front of the truck with the heavier items last.
What a job this was but it went quickly, and was remarkably easy. All that worrying for nothing.
On to the landfill..
At the landfill I was given a number then weighed, the truck load that is, and was off to remove my load.
That sounds weird doesn’t it?
Unfortunately I went the wrong direction but the other truckers flagged me down showed me the way..
At the disposal area I threw the items onto the cement floor while an enormous bull dozer shoved the items into a pile against the wall.
Quite an exciting process. Upon opening the u haul I noted one chair missing. Have no clue how that happened but later I saw it along the road so made a return trip putting the chair in Gina’s trunk.
Two trips in one day, what fun!
Mission accomplished and doesn’t my lawn look lovely?
