The garage 2: Notes on cleaning and packing

One thing that I've learn't was that we need to make extra sure that there are no organic substance on any of the things we need to take with. I've got a little steam cleaner thingy that helps a lot with getting into the small corners of things - especially the things that have gathered mud or soil or sand, like the mountain bike shoes, clips, gears, etc, but also on tools that have gathered plant saps or wood bits.

We've been keeping inventory lists of everything that's been going into boxes or containers. Last night one of the removal agents (I'll write more about that later - we're still waiting on the final survey's and quotes) made it quite clear that we're really wasting our time packing everything ourselves, and that it'll be better if we just put everything aside for them to pack - they obviously know better. The price of packing is included in most quotes, and there's no discount for packing yourself!
