The summer season means its the moving season. Book your mover early, or you might have trouble getting one.

I've got a gun and I know how to use it

I was in a house the other day that had guns in every room (most rooms) . I did not find a gun cabinet to be moved. Guns leaning against walls, guns lying on tables….and art everywhere. Paintings on the walls and some sculptures they had collected over the years. Does this seem odd to you?

Hoarders Home

I met with a couple that fit the definition of  “hoarder”. It is always a delicate discussion during the estimate because some realize they hoard and others think its normal. Packing items that should be thrown out seems wrong to me. They have tons of old papers and TV Guides. Do they still print TV Guides?

Oops!

We had an issue with a house move. The people buying and selling the house were told different days by their lawyers. They each booked us to move them on different days. Unfortunately the buyers wanted the house on Monday, not Tuesday like the seller thought was closing day. Both sides were angry, not at me, but it sure sounded that way. The seller cancelled his move with us and called his sons in to help out.

Pickup fender bender

Speaking of angry clients. One client hired her son to move all the boxes and small stuff before our move with her. He was in an accident causing 5000 dollars of damage to his truck and injuries to himself. (none really bad, but he was battered up a bit) Since movers charge to move the boxes, and they were only doing this to save money, they reasoned that the movers must be at fault for this mishap. (No claim was filed, they were just letting me know)

Older Priest I've not moved

Strangest recent move: We helped a priest move out of his house to a smaller place. He lived in a gated community and gave us a different name as the customer. (Legit reasons but a little convoluted). The gate security would not let us in because we had the wrong name and his the house phone was not working. Our declarations of honestly were met with skepticism. Eventually we persuaded the gate security to drive down and confirm the move.  I understand the problem, often when seniors are not around or in the hospital, family members clean out the home. They have to be very careful.
