Not all moving companies are the same

Posted on by

When I think about the process of moving from one place to another, it makes me cringe because I have to think about all the time I have to spend moving all the rooms full of furniture and it’s down a large flight of stairs. That doesn’t even include all the time having to pack everything and put it in boxes. I always thought about hiring someone to do the moving for me since it would make it much easier on me and my husband. I found all kinds of moving companies online but the one that really stuck out in my mind was at http://www.meatheadmovers.com/Movers/San-Diego-County.aspx. I experienced moving to another apartment and it was hard because I was 8 months pregnant at that time. Just imagine what and how I went through with my big belly sticking out. Gladly, we have some friends who helped us out.

They are called meathead movers and what’s really unique about this moving company is that they are giving back to the local community in countless ways. What a great idea. This takes on many forms like sponsorships helping local atheletes , Not-for-profit health care, women who are victims of domestic violence and etc… If you want to get an update and current news about their website, you can join their Facebook fun page by searching for MeatheadVTA and hit the “LIKE” button. I live somewhere in Chula Vista and I checked their website to see if they have an office near us. Guess what? They do have an office in Chula Vista, which is cool. Who knows, we might need their service in the future at least I know where to go and what to expect from them.

Hoarders, a reality TV series show

Posted on by

My favorite show is any of the reality TV series show that’s been aired on A&E or TLC. Hoarder is one of the realities TV shows that I usually watched with my husband. I feel bad for these people who love to hoard stuff because they’re sick. They can’t let go of their stuff because they think it keeps them safe. One of the hoarding interventions that were shown was an old lady from Chicago. Her family didn’t want to visit her because she just doesn’t want to listen to her children to get rid of her stuff and make some healthy room for herself if not for her children. The intervention sometimes takes time and a lot of efforts from both side (hoarder and her family and to those people who were willing to help her clean the house).

The trucks that usually come to pick up the stuff were from 1800gotjunk Company. So anyway, they hired the Appliance Removal Chicago to help the hoarder remove all kinds of junks in her house. It took them at least 3 days to finally clear the rooms and it took them several trucks to load her stuff. That’s how much she accumulated in her house with all kinds of unnecessary stuff. If she didn’t do it as soon as the intervention team had arrived, she could probably lose her house and her family.

Moving or relocating?

When it comes to moving from one city or state to another, it can really get expensive, stressful and a big hassle and no one really likes to move anyways. The first thing that you need worry about is making sure all your furnishings and belongings get to the new place safely and in one piece. And renting a big bulky truck can be costly and time consuming too. Why not make your life easier by renting the ReloCube, u-pack version of the moving pod. They measure 6’3″ x 7’ x 8’4″ (LWH) sit firmly on the ground for simple loading and unloading, are water-proof to keep your personal belongings dry and safe, and can easily fit perfectly in a standard sized parking space. You can rent as many ReloCubes as you want and only pay for what you use – an option you won’t find with most moving pods services. Got a big moving job? No problem, just rent as many u-pack portable storage units as you need to get the job done. Take as long as you need to load your items into the portable storage units and just let them know when your ready for delivery to your new home. U-pack portable storage units are owned by ABF Freight systems, America’s most trusted motor carrier. The website can provide you with a free moving quote.
