Jorge Hemandez (driver and crew leader), Pedro Gonzalez, Francisco Bou, and Manuel Arguera from Hilldrup Moving and Storage arrived at 9.  The original plan had been for the long-distance moving van to be unloaded into smaller trucks down at the United Van Lines facility in Rutland, ‘cause nobody thought a huge 18 wheeler would fit down our driveway.  Murphy’s Law: no small trucks available today.  After looking things over, Jorge said, “No problem”… and proceeded to back his 65 foot rig down the driveway (with inches to spare in many places), first try.  Amazing driving!!!!  Started to rain just as we finished moving the last item into the house (the 400 pound wine cellar, that we used the Kubota’s forklift to get from the moving van around to the shop door).  The moving crew was on the road again (headed for Boston) by 2, leaving behind a house crammed full of boxes… and other detritus.  Chree and I spent the rest of the day unpacking the kitchen so we could eat dinner and then the master bedroom so we could go to bed.
