Bloody hell... this hobby is painful
« on: May 28, 2013, 10:20:46 PM »
Just bought a house and we are moving on saturday.
Ive only just started packing up the workshop and its so bloody painful.. spares upon spares upon spares just in case i need them.. all of which are bloody heavy.
Paint and more paint and then the mixed colours i keep... tins upon tins of the stuff.
Paperwork!..Holy shit.. a large box full of schematics cos i like to collect them.
Legs.. a bloody great pile of them.. where the hell did they all come from?

..Everything as heavy as all hell and i havent even started dismantling the games yet.
God i hate doing this!

almost sounds like a good problem to have with all those goodies! But I hear you, moving is painful at the best of times. good luck with it!

Moving is the pits.   Hopefully it goes smoothly and and you find some hidden treasures you forgot you had

The only reason we are still in the house we are in is because I couldn't bear to pack everything up and move.  Moving down to Albury from Bulli was the worst day of my life and I don't want to go through it again.

Best of luck with it Gav.

I dread the day I move everything from my Garage / Workshop and storage building to the Factory / Showroom. I just pulled a hamstring just thinking about it  ^.^

Moving is a pain in the butt! .
Bad enough when you don't have a stash of pinnies and parts to move as well .

Good luck with it and remember 'bend the knees' when lifting  *%*
I need more room ! and more $$$
