That’s not a bus, its an SUV!

I’ve spent the day putting up drywall in the garage.  I am once again sure that the money we spent paying someone to do it when we built the house is 150% worth it.

It’s messy, heavy and precision work.  My shaky hands, arms and legs don’t like that combination.  At least we’ve got it all up.  A little bit of gap fixing with drywall compound and it’ll look great.  The last of our visible insulation is covered!

I’m currently having a dilemma about the actual move.  We’ve gotten a couple quotes from movers that hover right around the $3000-3500 range.  My younger brother has a desire to own his own transit company.  He wants to rent a trailer for a weekend, buy a $600 22’ cube truck box, mount the box, and move me.  With me providing all of the cash, and paying him for his time, to the tune of $3000 total.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’d really like to help my brother out.  But, I don’t want this kind of decision right now.  He’s asking me to front him money, so he can get the trailer setup and ready to haul, and then moving me in 4 days, only I have to provide all the labor.  I’m about ready to give him the $600, tell him “OK, there’s my part of your hauling company, good luck, call me when you need a cosigner”, and just hire the professional movers.  Would that make me a bad brother?

Anyway, enough about moving.
