Hi Scott,
Yeah, you're exactly right. One of our Photrio members is getting me started with an enlarger table at the price of a good bottle of scotch... shhhh! Don't tell him. He thinks I'm just bringing a 6-pack of a good beer.
That's wonderful news! The stuff that can't be replaced, you got back. Losing the darkroom gear is a pain in the ass, but nothing so exotic that a few dollars and a few days/weeks trolling ebay/thrift stores can't get back.
The last missing box showed up.
The last missing box showed up. It went to a home in Oaklahoma. Fortunately, the guy is also a photographer. He opened the box and saw my bag of 17 undeveloped rolls from a recent project. Apparently, it took several calls to the moving company to find my name and address. He taped up the box and sent it to me. Boy was I surprised to see this box arrive and with my missing project too!
Now I have the film to develop but no darkroom. The Evergreen College darkroom in Olympia has open weekends so I can go rent time there if there are any images that I want to print.

So - shall we update the thread title?

Yep, "Even a photographer can have a happy ending!" or something like that.
When my daughter moved, the shipping company delivered her boxes across the street although it was plain to see it was the wrong address.My boxes have been located in Atlanta, GA. What the heck? That's east of Ky! Washington is west of Ky. I have no idea how they got there and the shipping company is making no promises with regards to the condition of the boxes or even if they will ship them to me. I guess it's time to either lawyer up or contact my local FBI office.
I have moved transatlantic 4 times with no issuesI have heard so many first-hand disaster stories from relatives and co-workers about moving companies in the USA; entire households lost, smashed or pillaged.
I would never hire a moving company in the USA.
