You broke __________!

Can we use your truck?

Won't take long

Ben is busy and his crew can't be there!

Those are two words you never want to hear!

I got chills just reading it..

There are a few things in life I absolutely will not ask my friends to help with. Moving is at the top of that list.

But yes, you guys are correct. Having a pickup seems to make you the popular man when it's time to move anything...especially neighbors.

Trucks coming.

So called buddy:
The piano is upstairs by the gunsafe, but we'll have to get the pool table out of the way first. I'll try to have the pool took down by time you get here. Do you have any hand trucks or dollies? The little woman will go to McDonald's to get us some lunch when we're ready for it.

Me:
Um, uh, uh, oh yeah, my truck wont start. I think it's the discombobulation, synchronizer um, module thingy. Parts won't be in until next month. Good luck with the move. Bye.

Funny story. When I was at Auburn my boss at the shop where I worked when I wasn't in class sent me and two other guys to a business buddy's house with a moving truck. We were under the impression that we were gonna grab a few small items and be outta there. Nope. Whole house completely full of chit. Nothing packed. First thing we have to do is move the furniture in his bedroom. Dressers full of stuff. Nothing wrapped up and we didn't have anything to secure the drawers. Eff it, we'll just balance it. 1,2,3 stand up with this huge dresser. Top two drawers come flying out and his wife's lingerie just explode across the room. Been in this guy's house maybe 5 minutes. Spend the next minute scrambling to pick up all of the g-strings and see-through stuff while trying to reassemble the now busted up top drawer. Literally push the drawer back in and turn around to the guy saying "yea that thing'll be heavy"
Me and my buddy grin and say "alright we'll give it a try" luckily didn't spill anything out on the first (second) try.

You probably got chills because you spilt a natty light all over yourself.

I am still getting ribbed on our move two weeks ago. Gun safe, piano, milling machine, and hydraulic press.

I gave one to a guy that cut grass for me about 10 years ago. this thing was a tank and took 4 of us to get it moved. I was on one of the front corners and right when I went through the doorway that thing sprung open so hard it took me off the ground and wedged me between the sofa and door frame. I had one leg and one nut on each side of the threshold. the pain was kidney stone level. I know I had to have broke my tail bone I couldnt sit down for a month. best part was being hung up in the air thinking I am dying and the 3 guys helping move it, my wife and her 2 friends all pissing themselves laughing so hard. not a soul in the room could breathe for a good 5 minutes. I wish I had it on video.

AFV would give you 10K for that video. Sounds hilarious

I figure anyone over the age of 30 that is upsizing in house size and can afford to do so, can afford to drop a couple of grand and pay people to move them.

I don't mind the heavy stuff so much, don't get me wrong it isn't fun. But I help my in laws move once, I show up and they hadn't even packed everything up and expected us to help pack and move everything in one day.. They lived in a 2200 sqft home with two kids living there. So for me the two words are "Haven't Packed"

Another would be treadmill. Those things are heavy and awkward.

"Don't you have a truck?"
