The move
Friday: We moved. I hired a local company, Atlanta Peach Movers, to come move us. I price shopped around a little bit, and their prices seemed on par with others I found. The main reason I picked them, though, is the boxes. They had boxes for cheap, and they offered free delivery. And while I had them on the phone, I went ahead and scheduled the move. One less thing to worry about.
The crew was great! They were fast, courteous and energetic. They hauled all my stuff down my big hill of a driveway (no way to get the truck up the hill!) non-stop for 5 hours. Then we drove to the new house (an hour away) where they did it all in reverse, without the hill. They even stopped at another house with us to pick up a donated piano. (Watching them disassemble, wrap and carry a baby grand piano down the steps and onto the truck was enthralling.)
Highly recommended. Total cost: $1800 for 10 hours, 5 men and two trucks.
