Moving Day. Sherwood, Kerri, Dylan and Gareld (plus other helpers) spent the weekend moving out of Merlin's shop. It's kind of sad. He died in 2003 but his shop has still been there all these years. Gareld would say "I'm going over to dad's to work on the Nova", or I'm going to go borrow dad's saw.
I'd say "does your dad have any casters over there?" "Dad has one". "Let's go to North Powder and park that in Dad's shop." The times we've thought of or spoken of him go on and on. It was a big job.
Sherwood hauled his stuff over to his in- laws place in Haines. Gareld hauled his stuff here. Now that it is Sherwood's and Gareld's we can't borrow "Dad's" stuff anymore. Can you imagine how much was in that huge shop that had accumulated over 30 some years.
Everyone used this space to store things with all the moves we've all had.
Those shelves were full of a lot of treasures. This is Dylan's project car.
The North Powder house finally sold after all these years so it forced us to all find a place for our own stuff.
It's almost empty. There are a few more things to get but it was a long few days and the loads were all full at the end of today.
Gareld parked his loaded trailer inside tonight. He was ready to sit for awhile and unload it tomorrow.
He came home with some good stuff. Notice the cupboard laying on it's side here at the end of the trailer. That's mine :)
We thought Sherwood was going top keep the cider press. We have it! Now we need to take care of all the apple trees so we can press some fresh cider next fall. Maybe as part of our Shabulous celebration.
Goodbye North Powder childhood home. No more connection to that property.
