How's the purchasing power parity doe? A 14% exchange surplus doesn't mean much if shit is 1.3x more expensive.
Namean?
General Anybody ever hired a shipping container.

Yup. Food and liquor is somewhat comparable. Tools and equipment is significantly more expensive. I've been preparing for that though. I've been buying tools and gear, for the last year, just for that purpose.
Chainsaw that cost me $1350 here is $2750 over there.

You buying a shit ton of electrical outlet converters as well?
Sold most the power tools, keeping the pneumatics and hand tools. Will reinvest profits from sale of business, telehandler and truck towards power tools.
We've bought a couple convertors for household appliances. Fortunate that the tvs stereo and electronics are dual voltage.

Don't go! I'm sorry! We can make it work! I will leave my wife! You are right.
Please. Give me one more chance to prove it.
My wife is the heart and soul of this operation, I'm the lowly backbone.
She's saved us at least $10,000 by organizing the cleaning, packing, documenting our possessions.
We are paying $8000 to pack ourselves. Any outfit that does the packing and shipping as a package, charges $16,500+ and we would lose time by having everything done at an earlier date.
We might have to pay a couple grand to have things fumigated if it gets flagged, by customs, but that is a risk regardless if we did it or they did.

Moved another $50,000 @ 1.37
Hopefully the exchange rate stays on par when we get paid out on the house.

We started slowly packing last week. 1 month to go before we drive half way across country convoy style, with a toddler.
Holiday?

If I were naming someone the sentence would be: “He said he is moving, Gosh!”
