    Who was looking to order some stickers? Make sure you do not order from Yota88. All his threads have be locked by the Mods for not send out the product that people have already paid for. He also sells on Ebay. Beware.

    Really? 3 cups of coffee before you climb the ladder to put up rafters? Feel sorry for the poor bastard helper that has to dodge the 'sprinkles' every 15 minutes from the new weather vane. :D

    The stock battery I have is 27F / 710CCA / 165 reserve minutes. Most aftermarket batteries are 24F (using tacoma search results), have a lot less reserve minutes and maybe higher CCAs. Closest I can find is an Odyssey battery that's 27F / 850CCA / 135 reserve minutes. So I guess it's either that or stock.

    So muck better just to hire pros to do it. Totally worth it imo to not have to deal with that crap. I was amazed hire much crap we accumulated in our 1 bedroom apartment before moving to our house. I can't imagine the amount of stuff in a condo to move. Why add to the hassle of moving by lugging heavy furniture around

    True, depends what you have. We just moved boxes over the week before the final day. Biggest piece of furniture we had was a loveseat and futon..after that, the bed..then a TV maybe. No stairs really on either end. The upstairs of the house was our first repair job.

    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    My wifes died this morning after 3.5 years in the car.

    I ran an Optima in my 95. Had it in there for 6-7 years before I sold it and the battery was still a champ. I've read recently that Optima is not constructing their batteries as robustly as they used to, so I am hesitant to get one.

    Friend just moved her house using the pros, and my wife and I will be doing the same when it comes time.

    I moved myself out of my apartment into my house with family and friends. It was at that point I regretted living on the third floor. The exciting thing for me was finding out my box spring didn't fit up the stairs in the house.

    Other than that, a failed oil tank in the first month it has been a great experience. I need to rip up the decorative island in my driveway. Nothing but a stupid stupid headache.

    Thanks rob
    Thanks Seth . I haven't looked into the cost of the pros but a uhaul is around $150.
    I have a ton of stuff . I've been in this townhouse for close to 4 years .
    Ya I think my roommate is going to help me . Shouldn't be to bad . He just wants me out so he can park in the garage :)
