moving people are the Devil. Save yourself the trouble, pay more for someone national.

word to the im...although even them check with your BBB first. Worse than the mob -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:39 3
- Quint will never put on a lifejacket again and I'll never use anything but national movers again. - Mel Profit Jan 6, 07:44 2
  - I remember Diva's nightmare when she moved up there. -- nm - decline Jan 6, 07:44 1
    - In the pantheon of bad customer experiences there was that event and then everything else. - Mel Profit Jan 6, 07:47
we're doing the actual moving ourself, this is just for the unloading at the end. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 07:39 32

  - what counts as heavy stuff for znufrii? suitcases? lamps? the back door of the truck? -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 07:47 19

      - and we're getting a little old to bribe friends with pizza and beer to do our work for us. - znufrii Jan 6, 07:52 17
        
        Make it pizza and wine then -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 07:54 2
        
        They can't make the furniture dance up stairs by playing the piano. He's not the Sorcerer's Apprentice. - TFox Jan 6, 08:04 1
        
        Just saying, if he wants he and his friends to feel like grown-ups ... -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 08:07
        
        you need new friends. Anyone who doesn't jump at free pizza and beer is crazy -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:53 13
        
        My friends can afford their own beer and pizza. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:11 11
        
        Well...they SHOULD help you because they're your friends. The pizza and beer is just a common "thank you for helping" gesture. -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 08:20 5
        
        honestly ... we've all moved each other too many times. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:22 4
        
        Maybe it's a girl thing then, I don't know. I have a handful of friends that I'll help move any time they ask. - Jim Jan 6, 08:23 3
        
        Rule of thumb for friends is no more than every two years. -- nm - Spawn Jan 6, 08:27 1
        
        *nods* -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:28
        
        Maybe. I flat out cannot move big furniture. - loosilu Jan 6, 08:25
        
        me too, but someone offers free beer and pizza makes it taste all the sweeter cause it is free. Plus doesn;t count against a diet as you are helping -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:16 4
        
        See, once you hit a certain age, and your friends start buying real (read "heavy") furniture, there isn't enough pizza and beer. - loosilu Jan 6, 08:20 2
        
        you being a girl and all you'd be expected to serve the pizza and beer while the men did the heavy lifting -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:21 1
        
        riiight, you know who ends up doing half the work anyway? Me! -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:23
        
        The only sweeter tasting pizza is "stolen" -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 08:17

  - This right here. We were moving every year for like 6 years in a row, including across country twice... - Jim Jan 6, 07:46
  - we're hiring people on either end for loading and unloading. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 07:46 5
    - who's doing the transporting? -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 6, 07:48 4
      - we are. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 07:48 3
        
        So he's just muscle? - Mel Profit Jan 6, 07:49 2
        
        precisely. - znufrii Jan 6, 07:51 1
        
        he is rather EARNEST!!! -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 6, 07:52
- listen to me. Don't do it. - Mel Profit Jan 6, 07:42
- ignore my above - gotcha. -- nm - decline Jan 6, 07:41 2
  - if you know anyone who's free this Sunday and wants to make a few bucks... -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 07:53 1
    - top of my head, no. But I'll ask around tonight for you. -- nm - decline Jan 6, 07:53
