imames, I know what you mean! I was away from Denver for some years in the 80s and 90s and was very happy to move back. It's too bad this building is in a state of decline. I thought I'd live out my days looking at those wonderful mountains.

peony, good idea! I wouldn't have thought not to water the plants before moving. Some of them are extremely heavy after they've been watered.

I'm interviewing a mover Wednesday. They're coming out to do an estimate. I'm hoping they can load them up last and deliver them first. I know movers don't like to move plants, but this is a local company. Fingers crossed! Otherwise, it'll take many days with a dolly and a truck to get them moved. Here's the other end of the balcony. It's 26' long.

The church is a good idea. So is putting an ad in the local community paper to see about teens who may be willing to help. I do have a dolly and I could rent a truck for a day. I'm going to have trouble getting my vines down -- I have three clematises and a long pot full of morning glories. They're all pretty manageable now, but by the end of July they could be pretty difficult to move. I might just have to prune everything a little early!
