Today we finally got rid of that huge wooden box that has been littering our driveway the last month and a half. I had listed it on "Blocket" (Swedish equivalent of Craigslist) before Christmas and had a prospective buyer withing hours of listing. He fell through and so did the next couple of people who messaged me within the next several weeks. I guess there isn't much of a market for wooden crates.
Two weeks ago I got a phone call from someone, considering to make it into a hen house. I told him I didn't know much about hen houses, but surely with some modifications, it would work... Unfortunately he lived 3 hours away and needed transportation. He didn't get back to me until this week and today, the crate was loaded into a horse trailer and hauled away. We won't miss it one bit nor will our neighbors. It's safe to say, it's been the eye sore of the neighborhood for the last month and a half.
Despite the pain getting rid of it, I do recommend having your own crate to load/unload when moving overseas. It gave us plenty of time to carefully load it and like solving a 3D puzzle, fit as much as possible of our beloved belongings into before shipping out. For us it made a huge difference!
