Move pavers (task amended)

$5

Mount Barker SA, Australia

2nd May 2025

I need some pavers (96) moved from the front of my house to the backyard. The pavers are 400x400x40 and weigh about 14 kg each. Plus 1 empty pallet needs to be moved to the backyard. There is easy access via the path down the side of the house. Suitable for wheelbarrow or a gorilla cart. Needs to be done either this weekend, or next Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. There is a dog on the property, but I will keep him entertained so he doesn't get in your way.

James arrived at the agreed time. I showed him the job,and he just got stuck in and got it done. No messing about, no BS. I wish all of my previous airtasker dealings were as good as this was.
