susandennisBefore you sign on the dotted line, the sales person is your slave. Can we do that? OF COURSE, WE CAN! HAPPY TO! After you sign on the dotted line, that person morphs instantly into your enemy. Can we do that? Are you nuts? NFW.
I knew this would happen with Timber Ridge and I planned for it. But, it's still annoying. Furniture assembly - two weeks ago. Our maintenance people can do that for you. Furniture assembly today - our maintenance people might do it but there will probably be a wait. We recommend you hire someone.
Bite me.
So next up is the very expensive moving services company... They, too, promised full service - we'll put the sheets on your bed... skip that, kids, just put my furniture together. Email out to ask, we'll see.
Pam at Timber Ridge did give me a link to a handy man app she says they have had very good experiences with - it's firefighters. Hydrant Like Task Rabbit only, maybe, hunky adults. I'm ok with that. They appear to be a bit pricey. If Natasha with moving services, whines about doing it, the firefighters are next.
Worst case, I'll do it myself but that will involve WAY more whining.
And, yes, the carpet is in. I could have moved this week.
Oh well.

Also, you might check the Nextdoor app/site for your new neighbourhood and see who people have recommended, and/or who is offering up their services locally?
