Vivek recruited 3 friends to help his wife and he to move into their newly purchased home on St. Ann Street. Vivek and a friend were at their old place on St. Ann a few blocks up the street from their new place and took their larger furnishings out and helped load the MOVE IT! by bike trailer. Waiting at their new place were 2 friends and the Mrs. who unloaded the trailer and moved the furniture into their new home. This team work cut down the time it took for this move as well as the man hours thus saving time and money.
Van Miller hired us to move some of his office furniture from the 837 Gravier Office building in the CBD to the 1100 block of Burgundy in the French Quarter.

Hunter and Nathaniel Wood (of Hollywood Cycles and Repair) were our crew.
We moved some items from the 800 block of Leoatine St. to the 600 block of Leoatine St. Sad to say my iPhone was not working and no pictures were taken.

At the request of our client we enlisted the help of a pick up truck to haul most of our client's items from the 1000 block of Washington Street to the 2600 block of Marias Street a 4.8 mile trip. Just one piece of furniture did not fit into the truck so we MOVED IT! by bike.

Our first load ready to go. It was a rainy day so we covered the load wit a tarp.
This 5.1 mile route was taken a total of 3 times with two loads. If we had a second trailer this move could have been done in one trip. We thank our current customer for investing in us so we can get that second trailer.
Greg got a great deal on a leather couch at Costco and called upon MOVE IT! by bike to bring it to his French Quarter apartment. The challenge was to move the couch up some narrow and twisted stairs to his second story apartment but Greg and Tim got it up there. Greg cut his labor cost in half by participating in the move.
Greg celebrating the arrival of his new couch. There was more celebrating when we got the couch up the stairs behind him.
Delivered 5 tubs to a client so he can pack for his move later this week. Delivered them just with a bike but next time I think I will use a trailer. My bike is decked out for Mardi Gras : )
