U-Ship

Is the best option but you can also try Home Direct USA (not my favorite, or U-Crate

4 hours is all it is one way?  

 

Rent a Uhaul, or steal someones pick up, and GO.   Uhaul, with gas, should be about $100.

 

If you steal the truck, and no one catches you, just park it in some obscure place when done, like behind a Chucky Cheeses, and wipe all your finger prints off.  This option shouldn't cost you any more than a tank of gas.  You don't even need insurance or a credit card (or a driving license).

 

I've driven further JUST for the sake of picking up some appliances, AND returned home in the same day.  And believe it or not, most times, I used my own vehicle.  My memory is hazy about those other times.

feather babies for one, (2nd biggest mistake of my life, so far) poor things would just die if we not here... to keep eye on them and close up like Fort Knox after dark....... cause no one would care

Be careful while driving a hot pick-up

Stay on the side roads, and off the interstate, switch out the plates if possible.  Police and Highway patrol employ license plate readers that can spot a tag and report it's location.

 

Other than that I've go nothing.

Goatfarmer dont understand your link

seems more about hauling tractors then a STOVE... HUH?????/
PLUS the blankety blank weather is so bad.... Have all yall got this noah Arks rain spell ? like here in ky???
The guy doesnt have the vent he told my Hubby when "Billy" returned my call. I guess "frogkid11 "got it.......DANG it.....
Heck side roads scare me I wont drive fast on these blankety blank two lane highways...
Our house is just two houses away from a busy 2 lane road..... I hate it like a passion.....
right now its 55mph on the street or highway down the hill and its sounds like I am back in the big city and near the Xpressway....
Dang I want that stove so bad its driving me.......jealous as heck.....got double FlAIR OUT IN GARAGE AND ITS TOO DANG BIG FOR THIS KITCHEN.....UNFORT IT DOESNT HAVE a base cabinet like the one in the basement does. They were both bought in Louisville thru Clist....Plus the 30 inch Flair oven is bigger right???
I know, I know im whining...boo hoo

Earthlady-   If your garage is attached, have you thought of simply connecting the stove and using it out there?  

The nice thing about having the oven OUTDOORS, or outside your house, is all the heat, humidity, and smell stays outside.

 

Anyway, it SOUNDS like you need to concentrate on finding a quiet home.  I can't live with mechanical noise like cars and planes, Either.

The link is from a tractor site, but people post there that are looking to haul items between Point A and Point B.
