Going to be quite a few back-and-forth trips. As a former truck driver, I can confirm. You might want to look into renting a box truck or cargo type van, but I can't imagine you'd get more than one or two levels of height across the floor before it gets pretty heavy. If you ever look inside the distributor trucks on delivery day, you'll notice they aren't hauling all that much in qty. Reminds me of a funny story about how in order to save money at my wedding, I bought all the booze myself and hauled it to the venue. Filled up the whole trunk of my small sedan and the rear suspension was sitting pretty low. It was also pretty squirrely to drive on the highway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the transportation already set-- it's a 1971 Kombi with commercial grade suspension and Konis-- although my plans are to roll with only one layer of cases at a time, mainly for bottle safety. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Best of luck on the move Dave. Show us some pictures of the new set up when you're done. A lot of that stuff, I don't even know what it is. I have some questions, but don't want to bother, since I know you'll be so busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can always make the sacrifice and come over and help you reduce the number of bottles that need to be moved. Heck, I can probably bring a few volunteers from Georgia who would also be willing to make this sacrifice... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it Troyce is already on his way and that he didn't even ask smokinjoe to join him. I was afraid his steady diet of JBW was going to cause him to do drastic things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz June Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Well Marekv8 is a tough act to follow, but I finally got most of my collection displayed, so I thought I would post it.

This pic is how they're normally stored.*Here I thought it was just me having issues logging in.

ThirstyinOhio Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Admin's if this thread is inappropriate it, please feel free to delete it. I have no affiliation with World Market but I'm always looking for whiskey storage solutions so I thought I'd pass this along to others who may be in the same boat as me.... For anyone in the market for some shelving units, Worldmaket.com has a 40% off furniture sale going on right now. I own a couple of their Emerson shelving units which can hold about 180-200 bottles (if crammed in) and I just ordered their "Barn Door" book case for additional whiskey storage. I have no idea how much I can fit on the barn door unit or how sturdy its going to be but I'm in need of more storage and I've seen other people use it for whiskey storage. Link to the Emerson: https://www.worldmarket.com/product/emerson-bookshelf-with-step.do?_br_psugg_q=emerson+shelving Link to the Barn Door: https://www.worldmarket.com/product/emerson-bookshelf-with-step.do?_br_psugg_q=emerson+shelving I know this isn't a "show us your stash" post really, but I thought people may find it useful.
