Hey everyone,
I'm closing on my house next Friday. My close scheduled for 10:30 about 30 minutes away from my current place, my parents place ,or my home. It likely should take an hour.
The biggest things that I would like to move in right away are 3 couches from my parents for the living room (parents don't need them and they are in perfect condition), my bed (queen), my loveseat (for my room), dining table and chairs. My clothes and kitchen and art can all be taken separately and put in my parents car and mine.
I have a guy from my work that is willing to come in on Friday with his pickup to move the couches, bed, and dining table and chairs. Both my parents and I live 15 minutes from my future house. Here's my plan, I'm hoping to have Mike go to my parents and they all will pack up the couches and move them to my place, I hope to be there once I finish closing to put them in my living room. Then we can all go to my place to load up my bed, couch, table, and chairs and move them inside the house. Then we can bring the boxes and suitcases with everything else and slowly arrange everything.
This way I can avoid paying for a Uhaul. Fridays are very quiet in the warehouse and so it won't cost much additional to have Mike come help me out, he would be paid for company time anyways, the additional he would like is cash for wear and tear and gas for his truck.
Is there anything additional you all can recommend? The house is 3 bedroom, but I am going to furnish only my bedroom and will have anyone that rents out if furnish it themselves. Essentially this should be an easy move as there are a total of 4 couches, one bed, one dining table (comes with leaves so it's not very big), a few bulky chairs.
