Needles & Grooves

THIS IS WHY I AM THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO MOVE THEM!!!!

@Lee Newman it seems like I'll get them back. They have one more house to unload and "it should be" in the truck. Realistically there's no way they could have lost only 1 box. But thanks to everything being in discogs order I'll know what it was if I do have to file a full replacement value claim

I'm moving in January to another state. Luckily my employer is paying and I'm doing a partial, where they ship some and pay me to haul other stuff. What am I hauling - anything of value to me that can be potentially broken. Better believe I already have like 20 boxes of records ready to go.

@Lord Diaper Baby© I wanted to do that but no way I could fit everything and drive 3000 miles. Wasn't going to tow a uhaul

When I moved I towed a UHaul. No ragerts

I'm getting a 15' uHaul and then towing my car, personally. While a 15' uHaul would be way too much for just my records I am also using it for things like my PC, TV, guitars and amps, stereo equipment, other valuables, and things I don't want to wait for the moving company to get to me. Basically, the moving company is moving my furniture.

I got a trailer. 10’ or so. Installed a hitch on my SUV because it was gonna be significantly cheaper than renting a truck.

@Melt Face Molly Drop Yea I've got a Honda Fit so no option to do that. However, my job will pay me for how much weight I haul (basically, get weigh tix for the uHaul before and after loading) and that will cover the cost of the rental plus I get paid a rate for the miles I drive (regardless of whether or not I hauled stuff).

That’s nice. Got nada from my job since it was an elective move to go remote. They were reluctant so I considered their approval as my moving stipend.

Friendly reminder to anyone who hasn’t moved large amounts of records, they are very heavy, my uhaul wouldn’t make it over 28 mph

@Dylanfan253 out of curiosity for my own future endeavors, how many records and what size truck?

Yeah I wasn't driving a uhaul from WA to VA. Not worth the sanity
