Dexter - First of all welcome to the forum. Second I love your quote. The best advice I can offer is to sit down and decide what really needs to go, make sure its still in good shape. The only inexpensive way to move is to get help from friends who are strong (school athletes) and organized and who will get down to business. Offer to buy lunch and beverages. Rent a truck and pack it up yourself. Make sure where you are taking the stuff will have adequate room for parking and unloading. Confirm where the truck drop off place is ahead of time. If you hire professionals or those who call themselves professionals, get references from people you know, not who they know. Good luck.
