Who knows what other hidden treasures you'll find.<br /><br />Note: My father was born and raised in Texas (4th generation). He moved to Montana. :-)Shermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098953206824247173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-58233118302253512842016-01-27T14:55:04.591-06:002016-01-27T14:55:04.591-06:00Best of luck on the move.

We thought she had all her quilt fabric in one room. Nope, she had it stashed in some of the oddest places. If I don't buy another piece of fabric I will never use it all before I pass on.<br /><br />I like BC's idea I will have to borrow it the next time I move.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-45322868698392277112016-01-27T11:30:41.839-06:002016-01-27T11:30:41.839-06:00If you have one more gun than rugs, maybe a neighb...If you have one more gun than rugs, maybe a neighbor will be helpful enough to "hold onto it" for you. :-) Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020683489316456620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-80966583025128426542016-01-27T11:10:43.517-06:002016-01-27T11:10:43.517-06:00Last time I moved, I went to my friendly local gun...Last time I moved, I went to my friendly local gun shoppe and told Don what I was up to. They had a BUNCH of very inexpensive cloth sleeves with tie closures. $3 each, and a roll of bubble wrap (they weren't padded at all) and my accumulation was pretty well wrapped up.<br /><br />I did get a bit of plywood some cheap 2x4s to make a crate to put them all in and screwed it shut. I was driving through Chicago, and didn't want to take any chances with anybody in Illinois making a traffic stop and going fishing in my truck!<br /><br />Good luck with the rest of the move, sounds like you're headed towards the fun part now!BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189315938678079340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-36764654882052712122016-01-27T10:53:02.838-06:002016-01-27T10:53:02.838-06:00Enjoy!Enjoy!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-33745661921640047592016-01-27T10:28:05.600-06:002016-01-27T10:28:05.600-06:00Heh, I found THREE ammo cans full in my packout......Heh, I found THREE ammo cans full in my packout...
