These two things travel with you everywhere, no matter what you are. Unfortunately for the driver of the trailer below (with attached 20 foot canister holding the stuff we packed in SF back in August last year), these two things were working against him when our shipment arrived.
I really wish I'd gotten the photo of the cab of this trailer, as it lifted off the ground. Trying to back in a 20 foot container on a 40 foot trailer on a two lane street down an inclined driveway is no walk in the park. In fact, it's pretty much impossible. Just ask the shrubs that are no longer with us.
After an hour of maneuvering, trying to put rocks and wood under the wheels of the cab that was unable to get traction, and general physics hilarity, the movers had a great idea. Let's just unload this stuff here and walk it down the hill. Then, once the trailer weighs less, the cab can drive again. Thankfully, it worked.

"I can't believe it. It's here!"
Good thing there were no stowaways. Pretty tight.
Soon, our front living room went from this...
...to this!
Then, the unpacking again. It was Christmas in February...
...and Ryder could finally practice the drums.
