How to get my brother's stuff from his old place
How I did it: I sent his ex housemate email. No response. I sent his ex housemate messages in Facebook. We went back and forth and picked a date, which fell through, then we picked a second date, which worked out fine. I rented a truck, drove down there with a friend, called the ex housemate when we got there, he took us to the place where the stuff was in storage, we loaded it up, drove it back home. I went to target and got 10 plastic tubs with lids to sort things in to. Sorted things and they are now in storage in my garage and attic. I am so glad to finally have this done.
Lessons & tips: Be patient. Keep your temper. Keep trying to communicate. Make no assumptions. Have cash on reserve to rent a truck, buy packing materials, etc. as soon as a time & date have been agreed upon. Get a good friend to help you.
