time to move the car
Well after selling the house after being on the market for 24 hours its time to move the car to its new garage.
The new house is 220miles away in north Wales with some amazing roads to drive the car.
Just trying to work out how to lift my car of the trestles and into my transit van.
New kitchen set up for the garage I think

You'll be surprised how much stuff you have on your garage and how long it will take to pack. Removal company quoted me the same to pack a full
4 bed house as my packed single garage. Get a Luton van and use the tail lift combined with an engine crane to move the car.
As for build table (if you haven't got an engine crane) lots of mates and lift?
Or a stack of bricks and jack, lift on jack, lower to stack of bricks. Repeat at other end. Go to front and repeat but to a lower stack.

I've got a removal company doing the house. But that could be lost stolen or burnt to a crisp and I could live with it but the car is another
matter haha.
Am making a new build table trolley for the car. So this will be slowly hacked apart lowering the car to the floor.

Ps having moved the garage myself and watched the removal men - the estimate was about right. Don't underestimate it. I got a container as
temporary storage so 'break the chain' and reduce removal stress, but I was only moving 8 miles.

I'd echo what Mike says about the timings. It took me and a few mates maybe 4 trips with an open 12' trailer to move most of my single
garage. We were going 2 miles down the road and it took most of a weekend to do, as we couldn't back the trailer up to the new garage.

Well we already own the next property so I've been running bits up since we decided to sell this place. Am up there every two weeks so bits go
up with me then. Just in a very good position really with the move.
