Heavy lifting some stuff from ground to first floor
£100
West Mains, City of Edinburgh
23rd May 2022
Location: Blackford hill area (near King's campus of U of Edinburgh). Postal code EH9 3DQ. Somehow the website keeps changing my location to another place. Date and time: The dates can be May.25th, May.30th, or June.2nd. However, the time would NOT be known until the day before the job. The job would likely take around 0.5-1 hour for 2-3 strong men/women. Budget: I'd be happy to pay higher than an average price, due to the issue about time flexibility. Best offer considered first. Job details: A truck will have already carried my stuff to the ground of the building, and I need help lifting them to a 1st floor apartment. No elevator is available. The stuff consist of a double/full mattress (about 40 kg) and a lot of boxes large and small. Altogether, they take up a move cube that is of the size (1.87 m * 1.46 m * 1.14 m). The truck driver can help moving the things to the ground, but can not help lifting them upstairs in principle. I don't believe any professional tools are required, just need strong people!
Ian and his pal arrived on time and heavy lifted a lot of stuff. Strong men, very fast and courteous. When they accidentally knocked a flask of tea over, they mopped the floor immediately for me.
