    I can honestly say, after this move, I will never do this
    again. I am so sick of packing boxes, and all the other
    stress moving causes. Never Again LOL

    When I moved out of Montreal (Quebec) back to Ontario, I
    decided that I was going to "save" a few thousand dollars and
    accomplish it all by myself. I made about 6 round-trips
    between Ontario/Montreal (about 420km one-way), packing my shit
    all by myself into a Ford Bronco, from a 7th floor apartment to
    my truck in the underground parking and crossing 4 different
    doors along the way.

    Most of the larger furniture could be dismantled (IKEA), but I
    had all the time I wanted since I was on a month-to-month lease
    in Montreal. The project was complete after 4 months.

    I only needed an extra pair of hands with the mattresses and my
    couch - and a larger vehicle (a van) that was graciously loaned
    to me.

    The whole process was somewhat cathartic. But I am not sure I
    would want to engage in a 6 round-trip moving journey ever
    again.

    i was going to rent a u-haul, but after all the packing and cursing, I'm just going to let a moving company get it done, and be over it. I don't have the spare money, but at age 69, I don't have the stamna for all the BS either.
