Accounting for those currently at the house, not in the storage locker, and all sealed up ready to ship, and not already in the POD for the advance shipment.
Numbered and weighed: there are 48 such boxes, totaling 1460 pounds.
Soon, I gotta address the storage locker, where there are mene mene more.
A lot of the ones in storage are heavy - books and such, plus some of the larger tooling. I already pulled most of the light stuff out of storage.
... No, I didn't get a networked parcel scale. Might have been a good idea, though: put box on scale, press button, computer records the weight and prints out (using a networked label printer) a label with box number and weight. But then I'd have to get communication working, and write a script to listen for the "button pressed, here's the weight" message, assign the box number, record the number and weight in a database or maybe a .csv file, and print the label. Were I planning to do this sort of thing on a regular basis, I'd certainly do something like that. I'm hoping, though, that this is more of a once-in-three-decades thing.
