The most exciting part of moving day

Imagine you showed up to your job at 7am, made a 2 hour trip to another city to move a family out of their 6th floor apartment, there were only 3 of you, and this family had A LOT of stuff. Then you realize, after the 2 hour drive back, that they are moving into another 6th floor apartment so now you get to heft all of that stuff back up 6th flights of stairs and there are still only 3 of you.


2 choices:
1. Stay in bed.
2. After ascending and descending to the 6th floor all day, stop. Try a rope.

Moving guy 1 says to moving guy 2, hmmmm...... Here come my dishes.
Safe and sound. The best part when we questioned them what would happen if a box broke, or fell from up high, they said they were only pulling up light boxes. NOT TRUE!!! The next box to make the flight was a full box of books!! Oh well, it was exciting!!

I REALLY need to email you a pic of the wonderful contraption they use in our part of the world to move people in and out of high-rises. It is a platform (no sides) that is raised and lowered on a sliding crane sort of conveyer belt sort of thing that they raise up to the balcony of whatever floor you live on. I've seen them go up to the 12th floor before! The furniture, boxes, EVERYTHING goes up and down on the platform!!! Pretty cool!
