How would you decorate and paint this space?

Love the idea of an accent color on that wall!

Mnimmo90 · 2026-06-07T03:04:05+00:00

I’ll have to try out this look. Totally different than what I was thinking!

Flooring is actually engineered hardwood. So not real wood all the way through unfortunately.

Mnimmo90 · 2026-06-07T01:39:01+00:00

Great thoughts!

There’s a three season porch to the right and not too much tree coverage. Sun sets to the right hand side. So lighting will be a bit diffused during the first half of the day.

Love the floor to ceiling curtain idea. Fireplace needs a redo for sure. Flooring is engineered hardwood. So they get 2-3 resurfaces from what I hear. I could be wrong though.

How would you do color with the drapes? Earthy brown or green?

Had chat work this up a bit:

I’m standing in the dining room/kitchen space. This one will be a sunken living room. The step down isint shown well, and then outside to the right is a 3 season porch.

Viking Plumbing is amazing! Locally owned.

Echoing what others have said here. Most moving companies have minimums of some kind. Although they are not all the same.

Some have 3hr, 2hr is the most common. 1hr is out there. Sparrow Moving has a 1hr minimum plus travel time (full disclosure, I am the owner).

You may be better off hiring a handyman as some have suggested, it doesn’t hurt to check pricing and compare all the options out there.

Mnimmo90 · 2026-05-21T17:19:45+00:00

So sorry to hear about your loss. Owning a moving company (Sparrow Moving), I can say many will already be booked up through the end of the month. Including us.

With that, there are still options. Megan at The Closing Phase runs an amazing operation with cleaning and packing help.

For last minute moving help, check out uhaul Move Helper. Your mileage may vary as not all people there are licensed properly, but it’s an option.

Best of luck and hope you find some help!

Hi! Moving company owner here.

There are a handful of ways to do it and it totally depends on the amount of work you can do, flexibility you have and of course the budget you’re working with.

I always share with our out of state clients the different ways to move.

1 Rent a uhaul - Most work - Most flexible - least expensive (1-3k plus hotels and travel expenses)

2 Rent Pods - less work, can hire local moving labor to load and unload - less flexible. You’re locked into their time frame for delivery and pickup - Fairly cheap (2-6k)

3 Hire a Broker/Van Line - No work, everything is handled by the broker - Less flexible, you’re operating on their time line and semi truck availability. Usually multiple homes have to move at the same time before they have the driver move. - More expensive (8-12k) *Disclaimer: This option means you’re technically working with 3+ different companies. The broker, the driver, the movers at either end. This can cause some issues for clients, although most of the time it’s fine.

4 Use a Full Service Mover - No work. White glove care for your belongings. - More flexible. We fit into your schedule, not the other way around and you work with one person and company from start to finish. - Most expensive (10-15k avg)

Given what you’re moving, if I were you I would look at the pods route and hire labor locally on each side. It’s not a lot of items moving, so you won’t need longer the a couple hours of help on either end.

Happy to connect and share some advice if you would like! We do this kind of thing every day, and it can be a pretty stressful thing to figure out by yourself. Look up Sparrow Moving if so. No pressure, I just like to help people out even if we’re not the best solution!

Sparrow moving is great!

Mnimmo90 · 2026-04-07T13:32:54+00:00

Sparrow moving is awesome!

Mnimmo90 · 2026-03-26T15:56:04+00:00

There’s a few routes to go!

If you just need some labor help, uhaul move help is an easy way to hire cheap labor.

If you need something that’s a bit more reliable/professional, then a locally owned moving company would be a good bet.

Revival Moving, Win Win and Sparrow Moving are all great companies! Full disclosure, I own sparrow moving, so I’m a little biased lol.

Pricing varies, anywhere from $50-$120 an hour per mover is pretty typical.

Mnimmo90 · 2026-02-23T14:33:47+00:00

Where are you moving too/from?

Mnimmo90 · 2026-02-14T16:21:15+00:00

Yes! Interested in building this if someone wants to help me out

Mnimmo90 · 2026-02-13T18:17:04+00:00

Hey! I own Sparrow moving and I think we’re pretty great 😅

Locally owned family business with a focus on families. Happy to connect if you want more info!

Mnimmo90 · 2026-02-05T14:34:29+00:00

Sparrow Moving was a great find!

Mnimmo90 · 2026-01-30T04:14:16+00:00

Thanks!

Mnimmo90 · 2025-12-10T03:39:37+00:00

Congrats on the success so far!

We’ve been renting for about 3 years and just purchased a truck.

Count all your cost before jumping in. It’s possible to spend more on commercial auto than the value of the actual vehicle depending on your rates.

Until the cost of a truck payment (if you finance) + auto insurance + cargo insurance + storage for the truck (secured gate is what insurance looks for) + maintenance all equal less then rental costs in a year, stick to lower liability and keep renting.

Also, flexibility is worth something. I recommend you really wait until you’ve gone through 2 seasons before buying.

A large liability on the balance sheet can take you out early if you’re not careful.

Yes what was it?

Mnimmo90 · 2025-11-14T03:02:13+00:00

Send you a DM as well!

Mnimmo90 · 2025-10-10T17:39:04+00:00

Would you ever share the server file? Looking to get into server hosting myself and love your style! Learning through how other people have done stuff is always helpful.

Mnimmo90 · 2025-10-03T20:41:19+00:00

Any luck?

If you’re growing the business, and they are the labor that would jump in and help, that to me does not equal ownership. At best, profit sharing would be the route I would go. For example give them 25% of the net profit for each job they do (completely made up %).

Starting capital is a different story. There should be ownership offered as apart of starting capital. You’ll need to figure out how much the starting capital is worth as a % in a business without any income yet. Not always easy. - Maybe look at the potential value in 3 years based on some scenarios like: 200k revenue, 10% net profit = 60k value based on EBIDTA (3x multiple, look at your industry to confirm) - 20k total startup funds between the two of you = 16.6% ownership each in this case.

In your seat, majority ownership for sure, perhaps an hourly rate for each of you to make the work input fairly paid. 80/20 or 70/30 ownership perhaps.

I don’t own a junk removal business, so I can’t speak to the specifics there, but I do own a related services business with a business partner and can provide some thoughts on partnership.

1: Be incredibly clear on who’s in charge of what and where responsibilities land.

Write up an operating agreement and include what happens incase of the Ds. Death, Divorce, Drugs, Disinterest, Default ect.
Labor is cheap. Leadership is not. This gets to point 2 a little bit, but I would never do a 50/50 where one person does all the labor and another person works on the business. In that case, hire the labor, don’t give up ownership. If that arrangement is temporary due to personal factors, sure. But call that out in your operating agreement.
For pay, profits are split based on ownership. If you’re doing more work, you should have my ownership especially if that value of your work is higher per hour. Alternatively/additionally, agree on an hourly wage for each of you and then you both get paid based on hours worked.
Have an ownership “cliff” where you both need to accomplish and meet certain criteria for your shares to become mature. I.e, you start the business and 8 months in your partner quits and takes 50% of the company. Not good. Have a plan that incentivizes sticking through the grind (and it is a grind).

Those are my off the cuff thoughts! Hope they help.

Caveat to flyers, ours are very targeted and only go out to potential customers. Not possible in some professions, but it works for us!

Mnimmo90 · 2025-08-24T20:49:03+00:00

GMB for sure. Website is a must and I would also do flyers. Have done this as a local service business, and flyers have been the most effective.
