You can’t shift that he said to me this morning..
Yeah okay is all I said.
So I donned my gym gear put on my best pluggers, grabbed my shop trolley a shifter and off I went.
I went to my mums house. She has been living two doors down and is moving out so someone can move in.
So of course when moving, something’s need to be shifted now ordinarily you arrange a mover a few friends that sort of thing however all that needed to be moved was two single beds, three couches, and a double bed shifted back in. To me that’s not much and me I can’t be patient enough to round someone up because by the time I call and wait for them I could have dismantled, shifted it the 50metres up the road and restacked it in the same amount of time as them getting in the car and getting to me.
So I did shift it.
I dismantled two singles, moved the couches and returned the double bed back to the room it belongs to after jiggling it down from the shelf in the shed and was done.
I do a lot of stuff like this on my own I will change tyres, paint walls, fix mowers, bikes and reno where I can. I am to independent strong-willed some will call stupid to wait for someone if I think I can do it myself I will and I’m not afraid of trying anything. I have however learnt my limits and when I must ask for help {because not to may result in injury and thats not a good thing for anyone involved} but I have also learnt what tools I need to have to on hand to make my world my independent world easier because I always will try it on my own before asking for a hand.
1. A shop trolley the best you can afford. It’s great for shifting furniture, air conditioners, mowers, trees..so far there isn’t anything my shop trolley hasn’t shifted.
2. A thick shifting rug so you can slide things across the floor without damaging the floor because on a Saturday night and your home alone what else do you do but shift the furniture or help move your mother two houses up.
3. A hydraulic jack for the changing tyres on a the car its much easier than the factory issued jack- and ladies and gents if you drive a car know how to change a tyre it’s not hard not to know is just stupid.
4. A tool kit containing the basics. A hammer, shifter, screwdriver’s, adjustable wrench, tape measure for when you need to dismantle or put together furniture, kitchen units, fixing the mower or kids bikes.
5. A first aid kit and know the basics for just incase you driller your fingernail or hammer a finger.
So with my best pluggers, shop trolley and adjustable wrench I was done in two hours with time to still don a dress a head to B3 end of school christmas party be it with a broken nail but I was done and she was shifted.
