You're right on the name, I managed to mistype it. I had a couple of
people with me, and we had plenty of people to get the stuff loaded up
actually. Fortunately the guy who had the stuff (Alan) had a forklift
to lift the stuff up to the third story of the building where the
loading dock is... the building is on/in the side of a steep hill, so
the third floor is actually at ground level on the back side of the
building.
