Default [Free Beer & food] to anyone willing to help me load/unload a truck and move?

Would anyone be willing to help me move up to Austin? I'm trying to figure out all my options, and of course doing the move all by myself is the cheapest way to go. I already got a potential 2-3 helpers, but it's unconfirmed as of right now. I'd really like to move this Sunday, as rates for the truck are cheaper than Saturday. I'd be renting a UHaul truck, and my payment to you would be free beer/drinks & food (If i paid money, then it would probably be cheaper to just hire a mover to do the loading/unloading for me) And If it works like i'd want it to, we could have 4-5 people, including myself, helping to load/unload my stuff.

I'm in a 1 bedroom apartment, so the major things would be my living room set (sofa, love seat, chair) + 3 slate tables, and a bed and some mattresses (I don't have any dining room furniture). The rest would basically be boxes. I know this isn't much of a warning, so if anyone thinks they'd be up for this, please let me know. Again, it would be this Sunday, the 30th.

Thanks guys.

Robert

P.S. Tomorrow, I'll be 100% sure if i'll be using a mover or if i'll just be using a DIY U-Haul truck.

Sign me up Robert, I'll help. Wife and I have moved about 20 times in the last 19 years.

Thanks! I'll know in the next 3-4 hours exactly what my plans are. Since it is a quick move, i have to make quick, concrete decisions. There's not much time to ponder about what to do.

Ok, sorry for the delay, but I finally have an update.
It looks like i'll actually be using a mover to go up to Austin.



After looking at various time & money expenses, it looks like this is going to be the easiest and best option for me. I've had to make 5 million calls within the past week, especially the last couple of days, to try to make sure everything could work itself out. So, now all i will have to do is just pack up the rest of my stuff, and have the movers take care of the loading/unload/+ a vehicle transport.

Thanks guys for the offers to help me out, I appreciate it ...but it looks like these movers will have to do everything instead. I'm gonna sit back and drink a beer while they do it all .

What part of Austin are you moving to? We're up north so hope to see you around or at the Saturday get togethers.
