I wish they had been in existence then
About three years ago we moved from one state to another – about 800 miles away! We were on a very tight budget and could not afford to hire any National Brand moving companies to move our things, so we had to do it all ourselves, using rental one-way trucks. We moved over a period of three months, packing a couple of boxes every day and then put them in a self-storage unit at the local self-storage business. When we had enough to fill a rental truck we took the truck to the self-storage unit and filled it up and drove it to our new house.
During that period of time I tried very hard to find people who would help me with the process. I needed some folks to come paint the walls of the house we were moving out from, and I needed some folks to come clean the house we were moving into before we actually moved in. I had absolutely no luck in finding anyone to help with any of those things.
The stress of doing all of this by ourselves took a huge toll on us. I kept asking my son and hubby to help me and they would say they’d help me but at another time. We just couldn’t seem to co-ordinate working together!
Since then, a new Internet service called HireAHelper has come into existence. This service helps the consumer to find and hire local help to do just about anything that needs to be done! From housekeeping to moving to day labor to landscaping, the website helps to match the consumer with the professional.
I sure wish that this service was in existence back then! It sure would have made a huge difference in my stress level! If we ever move again I will not hesitate to use this service to help us find movers and moving services!
