Help unload a moving pod (1.5 hrs)
A packed 16-ft storage pod just arrived. Need two people to unload boxes and a few furniture pieces into the garage. Quick job, cold drinks on me.
Two movers for a 1-bed apartment move
Moving from a 3rd-floor walk-up to a house 4 miles away. Roughly 20 boxes, a couch, a queen bed, and a dresser. I have a rented truck — just need two strong people to carry and load. Should take about 4 hours.
Rearrange heavy furniture in one room
Want to reconfigure the living room: move a sectional, a heavy bookshelf, and a media console. Floor sliders on hand. About an hour of muscle.
Load a donation haul for Goodwill
Decluttered the garage — need help loading bagged clothes, small furniture, and boxes into my truck and riding along to drop it at Goodwill.
