One Step Closer.

We received our Matson container on Monday; January 16th. Since then we've hit the ground running with trying to load the darn thing. We have seven days to fill it. It shouldn't be too hard considering we've loaded U-Haul trucks in shorter times.
Day 1: Bought materials from Lowe's to build our ramp in order to load the container. Matson was kind enough to raise it 5 feet off the ground, and they don't provide ramps. Something to think about if any of you follow us to the island one day. Also, something to think about is it doesn't lock. So we had to buy several pad locks to keep it secure at night. (Matson left that tid-bit out) For something so expensive, you sure don't get much for your money.
Day 2: Travis built our ramp in just under an hour and a half, and we can begin loading, But at this point its 45 degrees outside and 8:15pm. We're pooped. We got about a half dozen boxes inside.
Day 3: I have just finished packing box number 36, now I'm waiting for the hubby to get home, so we can put a major dent into filling this sucker.

Love,
Nikki
