Our Ship Came In

Last week, our ship came in. After some fun paperwork, the container was delivered in front of my mother's house.

Amazingly, everything was exactly as I had put it four weeks before. Nothing had shifted. All of the boxes were in the same place, and all breakable items remain unbroken. Anyone's doubts as to my claim of being a professional packer are now ended.

For my next trick, I removed everything from the container, by myself except for the lathe table and two work benches, and fit them into the left side of my mother's garage, which is SMALLER than the inside of the container.

The hard part was moving everything twice or three times. It needed to be taken out of the truck, put up on the driveway, and then neatly packed in the garage.

Believe it or not, this was all very fun for me, though I was sore for two days afterwards.

Here are some more pictures, which should be self explanatory. Dick and Chie helped me take the three really heavy things out with ramps and ropes.
