Unloaded the moving truck

We slept in yesterday morning since we had gotten in so late Tuesday night. We spent Tuesday unloading everything out of the moving truck. The biggest challenge was getting the riding lawn mower out of the truck.

When we had loaded it on the truck at the church property, the truck's ramp was level with the porch at the church and it was fairly easy for Mike to ride the lawn mower over the ramp into the truck. But here at the house the truck's ramp is angled down to the ground and even using the 2X4's to make the ramp wider, it was still tricky for Mike to ride the mower down the ramp. Fortunately everything worked out OK (the mower didn't tip over with Mike on it) and unloading everything else off of the truck was easy.

This morning after breakfast we drove down to Vero Beach to return the Budget rental truck. Since we were down that way, we stopped by Kaleidoscope Consignments to look around a bit (didn't buy anything today) and then stopped for an early lunch at Five Guys before going back home.

We spent the afternoon going through the stuff we had in storage. We unpacked some of the boxes, but some things will have to stay in the boxes until we have a place to put them. I kept most of my genealogy research books and we have a few other books, but they will have to stay in boxes until we get some bookcases.

We're glad that we have our stuff out of storage and here at the house and it's nice we won't have that $50 a month storage fee.
