This is exactly what you DON'T want to see, and unfortunately what our container looked like when we opened it.The good news is that believe it or not we got lucky and nothing of great value was damaged. A few of the plastic flip top bins wee bent out of shape and probably trash now, but if that's all the damage we are thankful. We are still in the process of unpacking. Probably about another 20 or so boxes and I am guessing another 2-3 weeks before we feel entirely set up and done.
We will take some photos of the rooms as we complete them.
Right now it's more of a chinese fire drill where we move everything from room to room while we set up the next space.
We did get our last appliance - the Dryer. Bought it used off of Trademe It's in great shape and only 2 years old. We had to drive up the coast about an hour to pick it up. It was a fun drive and we got to see more of the area around us. (photo above)
The weather is still bouncing all over the place. We are getting wind and rain mixed in with some sunshine. They say spring is near but that only means more wind for a bit. October is supposed to the windiest here.
Cheers for now,
Stacy & Eric
For freight passengers on a trans-Pacific trip, your stuff looks surprisingly ok. Neither rats nor scurvy, so that's a plus!
