James:

Congratulations on surviving a "Do-It-Yourself" move. I can certainly commiserate with you. While I was in the service, Petra and I moved 17 times during the first 10 years we were married. It is a miracle the marriage survived. Moving is difficult enough when you hire professional movers, but doing it yourself will test the strongest relationships.

They say the best way to find out who your real friends are is to announce you need help moving.
