$50

Blackburn South VIC, Australia

4th Nov 2025

This is a quick and straightforward task that requires coordinated heavy lifting. What is Required: 1. Safety First: Coordinated, safe, and careful lifting of the washing machine. 2. Lifting: Lift the washing machine (standard front-loader size, approx. 82) from the laundry floor. 3. Placement: Carefully place the washing machine squarely onto the pre-assembled base unit/pedestal. 4. No Plumbing/Electrics: No connection or disconnection of hoses or power is required. The machine will be fully disconnected and ready to move prior to your arrival. 5. Care of Property: Care must be taken to avoid scratching the floor, the base unit, or the washing machine. The base unit is fully assembled and has small slider pads under the legs. Details of Items: * Washing Machine: Standard size front-loader. (See photo.) * Base Unit: Flat pack unit, which is now fully assembled and in place. The box image is provided for reference of the unit type. (See photo.) * Location: The lift is a very short distance, straight up from the floor onto the unit in the laundry area. (See photo of the laundry area.) Important Notes: * This is a two-person job due to the weight and awkwardness of the washing machine. * Please confirm that you have experience with heavy/awkward lifting.
