Thanks!

Yes; moving is never a joy, to be sure.

A quick post-script:

The LP move is complete! Took about three trips with the Subaru loaded to the gunwales with boxes and Expedits.

The wine boxes proved to be a gold mine; thanks to all who suggested them! A little caveat - all wine/liquor boxes are not quite the same, and while some were perfect, others were a little short, or a little big (too heavy when full). However, as many came with dividers, now that the LP's are moved, I can use them for glassware and so on...oh, and wine!

I am pretty sure I slightly jumbled my records in the process - trying to carefully remember the orientation of each handful of records, I think I have flipped some as I put them in the box, and perhaps flipped others as I put them back in the Expedit...so, some re-sortation will be in order. Not sure there's a way to overcome this easily, as it's just one of those errors borne of haste and human error, but all ears if anyone's got a suggestion.

Next come the system and system furniture before the professionals take over for the really big and heavy (and not so precious) stuff.

Thanks again, everyone - this is a great forum and community!
