Moving and removing (HELP!)

[torquill]

sojournscoffe is moving out of a three-bedroom house in Pittsburg starting tomorrow and ending Saturday evening... and so far, it's just her and me. Which, with physical concerns and kid issues and the need for someone to do the directing means effectively (no offense) just me. I can't shift a full three-bedroom full of Stuff all by myself, the week before school starts.

I need help with moving. Really, seriously. I don't want to work myself into the ground before classes start on Monday, but there's no money to hire anyone, and she needs to be out by the second because we've scheduled professionals to fix up the house.

This is my partner's house, so I have a vested interest in getting this family moved out in an orderly (and timely) fashion. Is there anyone out there who can help for even just a few hours, especially on large items? I can provide transportation if you don't have a car -- we just need able bodies.

Please signal-boost this, too. Thank you!

shadowwalkyr and I are available. We'll need to bring the squirmer with us, but if there are other kids to sit on, I can do that and add mine to the mix (won't take much until nap time.)

That would be greatly appreciated -- firestrike said he can make it out Wednesday, but the more the merrier. I'll be busy Thursday, but any other day you can make it would be great. She has a 6-year-old special needs kid who's pretty friendly, and her mom can probably watch both him and Vincent while we work.

I'm waiting on word that the keys have arrived (presumably tomorrow)... let me know whenever you want to come down.

We can certainly be down Wednesday. Thought you needed people by tomorrow. Just drop a line telling us what days you need us, and we'll do what we can.

I need people tomorrow, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I expect tomorrow to be mostly boxes, which are easier for a single person to move, and I'll be fresh... by Friday or Saturday we'll be moving furniture, and I'll be tired. So I wouldn't turn down help earlier in the week (it helps me conserve my strength) but we'll definitely need it as we get to heavier and clunkier items near the end.

If we had a reasonable crew, this would take two days. It'll be a push to get it done in four with the situation as it is. I won't breathe easily until we're packing up the last load.

I might be able to come to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. I also would have kid-in-tow, but if collective swap-outs on childcare are doable, I can probably make it happen.

I definitely would if I was there, of course. Good luck!
