Episode 8 In this week’s episode, we get the She Sheds ready for the road!It’s been an overwhelming process… first trying to get the containers ready for travel within the timeline that the city gave us to have them gone; Figuring out the best way to get the She Sheds to Texas safely and without breaking our budget was a process in itself.Long story short, we researched transportation options the month before we planned to leave. What the transportation companies didn’t tell us is that their quotes only included the drive from Phoenix to Texas… it did not include loading the containers on their truck in Phoenix and unloading in Texas. So we were back at square one, with one week before moving day and we of course had to make sure the company was credible – it’s a huge investment! Some of our fears were that the windows may break or the container may bow and not be covered by insurance, etc. Also, most companies we called didn’t provide the full service… so we were told to hire one company to load the containers in Phoenix, one company to drive and one company to unload in Texas. And if the companies that were loading and unloading had to wait on the driving company, the additional cost would be $500 per container, per hour! So lots to consider! We were told one of the issues driving the price up was that the containers' height, 9' 6". It requires specific permits driving through certain states. In the end, we went from quotes as low as $2,000 to quotes more than $6,000 and decided on Interstate Towing and Transport Services.The loading process was an experience to say the least… a few scary moments but in the end, the containers got on the road without any issues.So the next time you see us, the She Sheds will be in Texas and that’s where our real work begins!Safiyyah and I (Quita) will be working on a lot of projects ourselves – from the floors, to the deck, to tung and grooving the walls, painting --- there is so much to do. And let’s not forget that the goal is zero waste, so we will be getting the solar set up, our graywater system set up, rainwater gutters, compost, etc.We would love your ideas, so feel free to send photos and comments to our Facebook and Instagram pages!http://GreenDesert.org https://www.instagram.com/TheGreenDeserthttps://www.youtube.com/greendeserttv https://www.instagram.com/thegreendesert http://Twitter.com/TheGreenDesert http://Facebook.com/TheGreendesert http://pinterest.com/GreenDesertOffgrid animation created by Angel Jimenez GreenDesert zipper animation created by Diana Arellano Barajas Music CreditMusic Credit:Joakim Karud - Dreamshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQO8escJC78https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudhttps://twitter.com/JoakimKarudhttps://goo.gl/QtsxQGhttps://interstatetowing.com/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd_gkfzVU3c
