Once we'd discussed things like parking, the date, and the inventory, I knew the move required 2 pairs of hands, so I took Ulan with me.
It was one of the moves when we couldn't park right in front of the pickup spot. The house sat near a curve in the street, and cars were already lined up along the curb close to the client's driveway. That's the reason we left the truck a little farther down the block. For us, it meant a short walk each time we carried something.
We started by laying down floor runners from the front door to the kitchen. That's where the heaviest item, the unplugged dishwasher, was waiting. Ulan covered it with our moving blankets, and I helped him load it on the dolly. It went to the truck. In the living room, we bundled the armchairs in moving blankets and took them outside. The box with Christmas decorations was in the living room, too. We took all the Christmas decorations outside and loaded it onto the truck as well.
Next, we went to the bedroom for the mattress. The client told us that he had already set up a new bed at his new home, so the mattress was our only job there. Ulan covered it in stretch wrap, billed as packing material. It found its place in the vehicle.
Next, we followed the client to the backyard. He kept a lot of stuff there. The barbecue grill came first. He had already removed the propane tank, so Ulan just closed the lid, wrapped the grill in moving blankets, and I wheeled it to the truck while Ulan was wrapping the patio table in our moving blankets. The table didn't come apart, so we loaded it just like that. We did the same with the patio chairs. As for the cushions, I wrapped them in stretch wrap and stacked them on the dolly. Ulan wrapped the outdoor umbrella the same way, and we wheeled the items to the truck. The load was done, and soon we were on our way to the drop-off.
The two-story single-family home was located on quiet Beckford Avenue. The house had a wide driveway. The client moved his cars, and we parked our 26-foot truck at the curb right beside the driveway. Since the bedroom was on the second floor, we carried it up one flight of stairs. But first, floor runners, of course. Ulan grabbed the outdoor umbrella and carried it to the backyard. Next, we brought the patio chairs and set them up in the backyard as well. While I carried the cushions, Ulan unloaded the patio table. Then we handled the grill together, and the backyard was ready to use.
It was time to unload the mattress. We rolled it to the house on a dolly, then carried it upstairs to the bedroom. That's where the client's new bed was waiting. So, we unwrapped the mattress and set it on the bed frame.
Upon the client's request, we carried the box with Christmas decorations to the garage.
The armchairs went to the living room on the first floor. We first placed them next to the standing bookcase and then took off the blankets. I helped Ulan unload the dishwasher, and we wheeled it into the kitchen. We took off the blankets and set it exactly where the client wanted, because he was going to connect it straight away.
Just like that, the move was done. It was smooth, so the day was pretty good for our crew.

The best thing about being a mover is seeing new places, connecting with new people, and…seeing something you'd never see otherwise. It was like that this time, at Lull St in Reseda.
