I HATE asking for moving help.

[TygreBryte]

A couple of years ago, between more "permanent" jobs, I spent some time working with a local moving company.

Besides the fact that I'm sure it wasn't good for my back, I learned these things:
1. Moving is dangerous.
2. Moving well takes thought and planning, which are helped by experience.
3. Movers should always be tipped generously.

...so I'm hoping that next time I have to move, I can afford to hire movers. The last time I moved, after I had lived in this one place for 12 years, I am certain that I threw away a TON of stuff. Not metaphorically. A TON.

...Nowadays, I will lend out my pickup before I say I'll help move!

It sounds like you've got a reasonable load, Trans, exactly the kind of move that you and some friends can do effectively. There's a lot to be said for frugality in possessions!

I did all that moving from Chicago to Minneapolis in January.

I now possess...

1 double bed.
1 5-drawer dresser.
1 TV.
1 desk and desk chair.
Books, movies, music, clothes, kitchen stuff.
1 big-ass scary black didlo

That's it.

Fixed it for you.

That dosn't sound like a lot of stuff... unless you have thousands upon thousands of books/movies/CDs/clothes/ ect.

I have around six boxes of books and three boxes of dvds.

One box of records.

Three boxes of clothes.

Give or take.

That isn't much at all then. Doesn't the place your moving too have an elevator? That would make using a two wheeler a breeze and cut time in half.

 

[omminc]

No elevator. It's a brownstone. 1st floor is actually a half-flight up, and I'm on the 2nd floor.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Well, good luck in finding people.

You lost me at "a beer..."

Well, we'd at least have to split a case.

At least.
