We would be having a full service move (ie. packing, moving, etc.) It would be nice if one of us could fly in Friday night…pack up, and then leave on Sunday. But it would depend on what days moving companies work. My husband swears they work only on weekdays.
Thanks for the help!
I would imagine any good removal company would move you at the weekend if they were paid a little extra. As with the biggest majority of workers, we expect over-time at weekends, so it should not be a problem. Look in Yellow Pages and give them a call.
Working as a removalist (or mover) in San Francisco recently, it has come to my attention that many people I have helped are leaving the area for–out of all places–Utah. What is it about Utah that makes it so intriguing?
Utah is actually a great place to raise a family or retire.
1. Utah is cheaper. You get more for your money. Bigger houses for the price of a small apartment in the bay area.
2. They are very conservative (which most bay area residents are not) but that means less government involvement in their daily life (take that for what it is worth)
3. A lower density of people, a lower crime rate. The biggest problem is traffic accidents, which are quite a few because Utah does have bad drivers.
4. Nature. They are surrounded by mountains and lakes. Beautiful snow covered mountains in the winter, green mountains in the early summer.
5. Salt Lake County is less than 40% Mormon. Which is where most of the population lives. So people who aren’t of that faith don’t feel uncomfortable in that environment.
Those are the major reasons. Unless you are in need of bright lights and lots of activity (found in cities like San Francisco and New York) most people can find at least one appealing aspect of living in Utah. It gets a bad rap, but actually worth trying.
Do you have to remove furniture from the home before moving it?
The mobile home is a 2007
It depends on the mobile home….ask the mover. We moved an older mobile home with the furniture inside and it warped the frame. Be careful.
Other then hire a bunch underage kids and tell them that in exchange for their help moving you will buy them a micky of their choice, cos we already did that.
(I really do want help for this though)
Fake being ill and let your husband do all the work.
I recently noticed cockroaches in my apartment, we have lived here for almost 6 years and this is the first time we’ve seen any so I know they’re coming from somewhere else in the building. I don’t think the building is going to do anything about it so we are just planning on moving. What is the best way we can prevent they from moving with us? We also don’t have much money for furniture and things like that so I’m really not sure what we can do. Please HELP!
Get some foggers, and use them immediately to get rid of the roaches.
Or use them at least a week before you move. Get enough so you can fog the new place before you move in.
i have just moved house and gone through 2 weeks of problems with real estate agents who dont know the law and i had to take action with a small claims court, a furniture removalist who charged twice as what they quoted, a telephone company that took 2 weeks to connect a land line to a house and took 3 attemps to get it right, repaire men who look at the problem and say gee i dont think i can fix that and to top it off go to a restuarant after making a booking arrive with drinks and be told sorry we didnt write your booking down and no table available, do others experience bad service everywhere they go or my standards to high! GEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Well you’re not nuts. I get bad service a lot. But not all the time. Some friends call me overly-cautious, because I make tons of calls and confirm everything. Because I KNOW they’ll screw it up if I don’t. That shouldn’t be happening in the service industry. I know, I’ve worked with the public.
I am looking at a nice, yet inexpensive mobile home ($4000) in Virginia. I’m also looking at one ($10,000) in Mississippi. How would I go about moving it from other states to Louisiana. Is the price going to be to outrageous? Would it end up being cheaper to j/ get the one in Mississippi ($10000+one hour V.S. $4000 +16 hours)??????? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!!!!
You will have to find a local trucking company or an independent and ask what the charge will be. With Diesel prices so high, it may be cheaper in the long run to find one closer.
plus 2 other corgi reg firms,would you sell house as without gch or install new system costing thousands,my dilemma.
I work in an estate agents, and I think you should bite the bullet and have a new heating system installed.
You won’t get back what it costs in added value to the house, but without it prospective buyers will be put off and if they do offer, they will probably knock off more than the amount the system cost you.
Plus, it will show up favourably on your Energy Performance Certificate in you Home Information Pack (assuming your property needs one)
I contracted a so called ‘professional’ to put laminated flooring in my house. Now, the noise is still here and there is a lot of parts where is moving up and down. It is really bad. The cowboy who did the work disappeared.
Is it possible to get this repaired or do I have to change the whole flooring again? The situation is only getting worse, I have to say.
I checked with the master craftsman who has done floors in my house and in other family members and friends houses.
He suggested that you remove the shoe molding around the wall and see if the laminate floor is too tight up against the wall, which cause it to pinch and raise when it should expand and float.
If it is too tight, the planks nearest the wall can be trimmed to give the floor room to expand when the temperature changes.
If that attempt to repair it doesn’t work the floor might have to be replaced. But I would check with the flooring people at the nearest Lowe’s or Home Depot, or possibly at a local flooring store that has been in business in your city for a long time and has a good reputation.
The guy that did my floor has a website all about laminate floors http://www.laminate-flooring-diy.com where you might be able to get some more info to help determine the problem.
