Pack everything before 6pm - Graeme has to check the trailer before 5pm (after this meeting)

Using similar boxes for things to pack - ideally more durable than a cardboard box, use cases when possible. things that are delicate → don’t want them to be crushed

Use appropriate sized toolbox, LABEL IT, don’t leave things half empty
