Up awake yet again, having a good giggle about the packing boxes thread yesterday. 30 for a full house? I have easily double that in just books. it's no wonder our removal guys expected to win their weekly competition for the office staff not passing relevant information to the crew ๐Ÿ˜น

I ordered a bulk pack of 10 special boxes just for LPs

If its ground floor to ground floor, that's five trolley loads and no thing to move.

Three step ranges outside, full stair with corners inside. It was the potted tree that made them delirious.

Put the tree on a folded blanket. Tie the top together and wrap it. Four guys grab a corner of the blanket. It's a bother but not that hard. I had one job where a guy wanted about 300 of those book boxes in his attic via a spiral staircase, fuck that guy.

There were only two of them. And they tried to not let me pick stuff up at all to begin with. That changed!
