Don't Be Greedy Continuation

I just realized that I did not finish my account of buying eight storage units. First off, these storage units were about an eight hour drive from my house and we only had two pickup trucks with us. Eight storage units will fill two trucks, a 20' trailer AND the largest U-haul truck you can rent.

In order to get everything packed in the vehicles, we were unable to keep the units separate and we did not think to mark the boxes with identifying marks. Therefore, when we got home and started sorting through all the stuff, we could not throw anything away that appeared to have a missing part because we did not know if that part would show up later in another box. It only took a year to to sort through and sell the stuff.

The main lesson I learned... Never buy that many units at one time. The "fun" of the project quickly is gone and it becomes plain WORK!
