Learn me: Moving
#4
hey congrats! i've moved a lot in the last 10 years - 4 times. i hope i don't sound too much like an ass, but have you guys spent much time in lake norman driving around? i drive through there all the time on 77 going up to roanoke from GA. be careful choosing employment near the interstate...i've literally never gotten through there without hitting a jam.

extra junk - craigslist/forum sale the stuff worth anything, donate the rest. don't be afraid to trash stuff, if its not immediately useful, valuable, or sentimental just dump it. moving furniture sucks, now is the time to sell as much as possible and start fresh once you move in.

moving - obviously check the mover's ratings across different review platforms to ensure they're decent quality but also make absolutely sure you have movers lined up and scheduled (confirmed) on both ends, packing and unpacking. do NOT put anything leather in one of those PODS portable crates/lockers....with any humidity it will steam up inside and turn your leather into a fungus farm. request as much additional wool packing blankets as possible or buy some more of your own, and wrap all your nice furniture extremely well with them. you'll need to watch the movers and supervise them, they're going to want to stack stuff and put furniture at terrible angles which is a great way to break off couch legs or gouge chair arms. anything truly fragile needs to travel with you like framed pictures, glassware, china etc. prepare for at least one trip up and back in your truck/trailer taking the fragile things ahead of time...you're super lucky you have such a big rig to take stuff in.

friends - social media is pretty much it, enjoy your new local motorsports groups, there are a ton in that part of NC. if you're working from home you'll need to seek out some chances to make friends locally, but you'll do fine. be sure you get away from your computer during the day or you're going to start hating your time at home.
