I need help with moving and rearranging furniture between 3 bedrooms, including dismantling and reassembling a metal bunk bed. The job involves: * Dismantling a metal bunk bed in Room C. * Moving the dismantled bunk bed to Room A and reassembling it there. * Temporarily moving a wardrobe and table in Room A to create space to assemble the bunk bed. * Moving my bed, table, drawer and other larger furniture from Room A to Room B (an attic room). * Moving some of the larger/heavier household furniture/items from Room B downstairs/into Room C to clear the attic room. * There are stairs involved and Room B has a sloped attic ceiling. My friend and I will be helping with the move and will handle the some bags, boxes and personal belongings, so you won’t be expected to move everything yourself.
