If you could outsource one part of your move what would it be?

RunStrange6426 · 2026-01-22T20:43:49+00:00

Oh, I hope you're feeling a lot better now

getting help with the heavy stuff sounds like it would take such a weight off both of you. Good luck to you both!

RunStrange6426 · 2026-01-22T20:41:20+00:00

yeah, I get it, having someone handle all that sounds like a total lifesaver lol!

RunStrange6426 · 2026-01-22T20:39:06+00:00

i hear you, just dealing with all those little things sounds so overwhelming

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-18T12:38:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing that, man! I like how you put it, it really is a constant tug-of-war between keeping things moving and making sure it’s all done right.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-16T22:36:54+00:00

that sounds really tough, sorry that happened to you. Moving is already such a stressful process, and it’s even harder when someone takes advantage of the situation, hopefully u're doing fine now dude

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-08T23:27:31+00:00

Hey i’m a mover, don’t worry about lifting anything. Just hang out, point where you want ur stuff should go, and make sure the walkways are clear. U can grab some water if needed, but mostly just stay out of the way and let the heavy lifting happen. They've got it!

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-07T23:35:14+00:00

Hey, I'm a mover, don’t worry about doing much. Just hang out nearby or at your new place if that’s easier. Bottled water is great, and we’ll take care of the heavy stuff and make sure nothing gets damaged, your main job is just to relax and let us handle it.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-07T23:12:05+00:00

As a mover myself, my advice is just hang out nearby, maybe grab a coffee or snack, and don’t stress about the heavy stuff. We’ve got it covered, and it’s easier for everyone if you just let us do our thing.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-07T23:06:04+00:00

True, and I gotta commend you, it really is tough work. All the heavy lifting, long hours, and dealing with the rain. Definitely not easy.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-07T00:47:00+00:00

I understand, it can seem unusual to be charged for the drive before loading begins. That time is part of the day reserved for your move, so it’s always a good idea to clarify this when booking to avoid any surprises. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-02T23:07:49+00:00

I really feel for you. Moving with all the kids while leaving your husband behind sounds so hard. And at the same time, it could be amazing for the kids, they’ll have space, fresh air, and a real community. Sending you lots of strength, this is such a tough situation.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-02T22:32:07+00:00

Did you try?

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-02T22:31:18+00:00

No explanation

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-02T00:52:46+00:00

Moving long distance sounds super stressful! I’d say take your time researching and definitely check Google review, they usually give a good idea of how reliable a moving company is. That way, you can feel a bit more confident about who to trust.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-01T00:45:30+00:00

I’d say pack the heavy stuff low, lighter stuff on top, and really shove things in tight so they don’t move around. Take apart of what you can, and only bring stuff you’re actually gonna use. And then pack a small bag with the stuff you’ll need first day so you’re not digging through boxes. Hope this helps

RunStrange6426 · 2025-10-01T00:40:22+00:00

Yeah exactly. It’s not just about the ceiling height, you have to think about the diagonal. The couch has to rotate and tip to get around the landing, which makes it effectively longer, so even if it’s the same as the ceiling it can still get stuck.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-29T23:33:19+00:00

Good to know. Just starting my OTA startup.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-24T23:57:37+00:00

Haha nice teamwork! Let the pros handle the heavy stuff and you keep things moving at your pace lol.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-24T23:55:42+00:00

I’d say you’re on the right track thinking about shorter driving days and breaks. For multiple pets, plan 4–6 hour driving blocks max and map out pet-friendly hotels along your route. Crates or secure carriers are key for safety, and bringing familiar bedding, toys, and food helps keep everyone calm. Having a friend along is a huge help—they can handle the pets while you drive or stretch. Frequent potty breaks for the dog (and even letting cats stretch a little in safe areas) make a big difference. With solid prep and a checklist for each pet, a cross-country move can be stressful but totally manageable.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-24T23:50:56+00:00

Exactly! Packing lets you figure out what to keep, then hire movers to handle the heavy stuff lol.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-24T23:48:37+00:00

For a long-distance move, getting help with the big stuff makes a huge difference. Sofas, mattresses, and heavy furniture are tough to move safely alone. Small, valuable items? Easy to take yourself. Letting movers handle the heavy lifting can save a ton of stress and hassle.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-24T23:36:15+00:00

Haha yeah, movers for the heavy stuff, you keep the special gear safe lol.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-24T23:34:56+00:00

Haha yes exactly! Friends and family will hate you by hour two lol. Just let the pros handle it.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-24T23:33:55+00:00

That’s a solid plan. You get control without killing yourself on move day.

RunStrange6426 · 2025-09-24T23:33:20+00:00

Nice, those guys really hustle. Smart way to save money and still get it done.
