A Move from Cedros Avenue to Parthenia Street in Panorama City

Many moves start from the front door. But sometimes we begin our work with a garage door rolling up. It was a private garage in a townhome complex, where the client had some items he wanted to relocate to his new home. The prop-off was on Parthenia Street. When our foreman, Zhenya, had all the details, he picked Emil and me for this job. We took a 26-foot truck.

The Job at a Glance

• Pickup: Cedros Avenue, Panorama City, LA
• Destination: Parthenia Street, Panorama City, LA
• Property type: Private garage in a townhome complex
• Crew: 3-mover crew
• Inventory: 1 mattress, 1 plastic drawer unit, 2 freestanding bookcases, 1 dresser, 2 nightstands, 1 fridge, 1 office chair, 1 box with books, 1 box with travel souvenirs, 1 PlayStation console.

First, We Went to Cedros Avenue

Parking was easy. The client lived in a townhome complex with a private garage lane behind the units. There was enough space for our crew to park right close to the garage door. He opened it, and we began to work. We decided first to deal with the heaviest thing. This time, it was the fridge. We blanket-wrapped it, put it on a dolly, and moved it to the truck.

For a dresser, Emil used stretch wrap that we billed as a packing material. We used the same packing material for 2 freestanding bookcases and an office chair. 2 nightstands, in turn, were covered with moving blankets. For the plastic drawer unit, we used packing tape, billed as a material.

A box of books and a box of travel souvenirs were next. We didn't wrap them, just loaded them onto the truck. But the souvenirs were fragile. That's why we secured the box for a safer ride.

Then we wrapped the mattress in a stretch wrap. I leaned it against the other items in the truck. We finished loading with a PlayStation console, still in its original box. We added an extra layer of bubble wrap for an added fee.

Next Was Parthenia Street

A two-story townhome complex was located on a busy two-way street. The client gave us access through the gated entrance to the private lane. The apartment was on the first floor, so there was no need to go up and down stairs. I took the PlayStation first and carried it to the living room. The mattress went to the bedroom, where Emil and Zhenya took off the wrap and placed the mattress on the bed. Meanwhile, I managed both boxes with books and souvenirs. I took them to the study. That's where we also brought the plastic drawer unit. The client asked us to leave the masking tape on. We also rolled the 2 nightstands on a dolly into the bedroom. There, we placed them on either side of the bed. Freestanding bookcases and the office chair went to the study. We unwrapped them and set them next to the desk. Emil and I also wheeled the dresser to the living room, where Emil took off the stretch wrap and placed it next to the window. Finally, the fridge was also a job for two. We brought it to the kitchen, pushed it into place, and left it ready to plug in. Just like that, the client's new home was ready for him to move in.
