Moving House

On Friday, I helped R to move his house. It was an experience to see all things being packed into big boxes with labels such as books, clothes, kitchen items, photo albums, ... etc.

R engaged the service from Zion Emmanual Moving Company. At 10.30am, the movers dressed in bright red t-shirt arrived. Some movers carried the big boxes, others started dismantling the bed, big dinning table and wrapping up the rosewood chairs and table. There were at least 8 workers with a "supervisor" who gave orders to the rest.

We took at least 1.5 hours to load all the items into the truck. We discarded a big tv, a big fridge, a bed and a computer table. We paid $120 for the workers to dispose these items. What an irony, pay $120 just to get rid of 4 items!

After the movers have left, I started sweeping and mopping the whole house. It was really a big mess, with much dust collected under the fridge and bed.

It was a fun day!
