Movers for a SMALL Job

[charolastra00.livejournal.com]

I know there are lots of moving posts, but they all seem to be about larger moves.

I'm moving from Somerville to Medford at the end of the month a grand total of about a mile - I have my bedroom furniture, a few other small pieces of furniture (small bookcase, filing cabinet), a bunch of boxes, and an aquarium (that I'm mostly taking apart myself - I just need someone to carry it out of this apartment and into the new one). I've found that most movers won't do jobs of under 4 hours. When I moved from Waltham to here, it took the movers a total of about an hour and a half - and that was including the drive. I had wonderful movers before but I can't find their name or number for the life of me!

Before you suggest it - I really can't orchestrate the move on my own. I'm recovering from chemo and don't have the strength to move most of my boxes, much less furniture. I'd rather hire professionals and not absolutely decimate friendships. That said, cost is also important. I believe last time the straight cost was under $200, plus tip for the two man crew. In my ideal world, I would keep the cost around there.

Thanks!

Knit & Sip Crochet Soiree, II Feb 5th

Hi everyone,

The second Knit & Sip Crochet Soiree will take place Feb 5th at the Nave Gallery from 2-5.

Each November, the Nave Gallery in Somerville, MA hosts Wrap Around, a sale of affordable handmade goods to support the Somerville Homeless Coalition. All proceeds help fund the amazing work that SHC does, and anything not sold is donated to them.

This group meets monthly to knit, crochet, and create items for next November's sale. This is a really fun way to get your craft on and help keep someone warm during our very cold winter.

Hope to see you.  There will be coffee, tea, and some light snacks. Feel free to bring something to munch on if you'd like.

To keep up to date on events, join the meetup group at: http://www.meetup.com/Knit-Sip-Crochet-Soirees/, or visit the Nave Facebook  page: http://www.facebook.com/events/324554534251068/.

Thanks,
Tori
