The trip starts, well, almost

I finally managed to book a trucking company. The seller and I agreed on him building a crate. A money saving measure that also optimizes the space needed to transport it all. However it seems that the non-standard dimensions turned away lots of trucking companies. Eventually I found a couple that are willing to load the crate on the back of their truck. Ms Elly should be on the road next week, the second week of March. Finger crossed!
