Well, it's one month gone by and the Lego is packed up and ready to be moved. It
took close to 200 boxes and 5 66 quart Sterilite containers. All that's left is
to bag up the instruction books and put them in a 66 quart Sterilite container.
The drawers holding my bricks are just going to be taped shut with clear box
tape. I'm not to concerned with any residue that might remain after I remove the
tape. The residue can be removed at a later date. If I am so inclined.
The rest of my life is mostly still in boxes from my last move, so the rest of
the packing should go fairly quickly.
All of my dishes, pots, pans, microwave, and vacuum cleaner are being given to
my brother and young niece who's home burned down late last year. They lost
everything. My girlfriend has all of those items and does not need more.
I am heading down in February to clean out the remaining junk from the future
LSF, and hang some shelving. The LSF measures 20' x 11'.
I can't wait to get out of Detroit.
