I'm moving to a house soon. I refuse to ask non-family members to help with the move! EVERY time I helped someone move my blood boiled right from the first object lifted!

I moved in with my gf a couple of months ago.

It was tiresome as hell, even without moving any heavy furniture at all. It took us like 1 day and a half.

And it's just a block away from my parents' house (I was living there before moving).

i think its better to pay for it.

if people help you, you need to return the favor and who the hell wants to help someone to move?

Go to your nearest Home Depot,  hire 3 Mexican workers for $20 an hour, problem solved.

Having a van for work means I get every fucking bum mate asking to help them move, I’ve moved one mate 3 bastard times,a big reason I live with the inconvenience of a smaller van now is to deter them from asking

Haha one of the best thing the council did was implement the permit scheme for vans at the local tips, I just tell people I’ve already used my maximum allowed amount for the year if they ask

I once hired a guy with a van to get rid of a lot of garden waste.
When he was leaving he said "will you come to the dump with me and say its yours, they will charge me"
I went with him and saved him some cash.

Helping people move is the WORST. I won't ever do it again, especially since no one has ever helped me move (not that I've asked since the first time everyone had plans).  

The home depot suggestion isn't a bad idea at all.

I lost count hoe many times I've moved, from parents house ro numerous apartments to a few homes, back to apartments.
  Each time I asked friends I paid in either cash or food and booze, a few times both. That's why when I'm asked i usually help ppl move...but no more.
   Each time now that i get asked its always "it's easy brah, just a mattress and a few small boxes"...but when I get there it's an all day affair moving the biggest pieces, most i never even noticed in their places, and a full length U-Haul truck. F**k me...no more.



Next time i move shit's staying right where it is...I'll buy all brand new stuff.

my friend was in the was very high up in the Marine corps me and his brothers would always help him and the guys move they get paid for it was basically like free vacations we loved it it would usually take a few days the partying in different cities was pretty much worth it

Haha nowt that fancy mate a Short wheelbase transit, I much prefer a long wheelbase though as I’m lazy and don’t like having to take tools out when collecting materials, I’ve got to literally empty the fucker to pick up plasterboards and am hating it.
Having the low roof also means kneeling to take a piss in a bottle/bucket in the back and it’s fucking awkward

The mk7 sport transits look nice but the base models especially the larger ones don’t look the best, I wouldn’t want a decent van it would mean having to actually look after it haha transits are cheap workhorses you don’t mind the battering it takes as a builders van

I understand fully. No time to worry about a scratch or dent. The are made to use as a worktool not as a showobject.

What???  :D  I've been in situations where I've been stuck in traffic for an hour and have had to use the empty cup from my morning coffee I buy from 7-11 to fill with piss in the front seat and throw it out the window. No fucking way I'm pulling to the side of the road pulling a trailer, I'll be waiting minutes before anybody lets me get back in. Time is money.

Haha good idea with the cup I’ll keep that in mind, i meant during the day while working out of the van not while driving
