What Possessed Me to Do This?

We are working on "de-cluttering" our home to list it for sale in April, need to have my "man cave" painted first.  To prepare for the painters' arrival, am boxing up my audio system, moving the components to a "climate controlled" storage unit.  I got the lighter stuff boxed up without assistance.  My son helped me place my 110# power amp on the carpeted floor, flip it over to bolt it to the plywood for the base of the inner carton, eventually getting it boxed and double-boxed, taped up and ready to go.  One of my son's friends is coming over for dinner, to help box up a pair of 122# speakers and a pair of 133# sub woofers.

What possessed me to get equipment that weighs so much?

*L* Consider this move a required high-intensity low interval required jaunt to the local gym.  Unfortunately, all the exercises are with weights.  Remember to bend the knees, please.  'Squat is hot.' ;)
And don't try to 'clean and jerk' Anything....

...and blankets are your friends....*S*

My departed Father, who was first a pragmatist, second an economist, and third a philosopher always told me that unless your buying hangliders, airplanes, or hot air balloons, buy the heaviest version, it’s probably the highest quality. I haven’t found exceptions to his wisdom yet..

Make sure to inform your insurance company and supply the address/location of the storage facility to them. 

Insurers generally allow the extension of your home insurance to the storage facility. Check on this. Specifically. Get it in writing.

The storage facility has no safety nets. Your home insurance applied to the storage space -- is the safety net.
