would be a four hour job for a 2 man crew. Oops.) Anyway, the guys immediately got down to business and began getting the huge number of book boxes out to the truck. I am a book collector and we had about 100 boxes just of books. One of the guys sang while he worked, occasionally stopping to tell me a joke and make me laugh. He was a really nice guy and had a fabulous attitude toward the job itself as well. All of the guys had that attitude where they gave their all to the job to try and get it done under the amount of time on the estimate rather than going slow and taking all day. One of the guys, my singer from Georgia, was honestly running with his empty hand truck from the elevator into our apartment, loading the truck with five boxes of books, then running with the full truck back to the elevator to unload. Over and over, he ran the circuit. You don't see that every day. Once they had the boxes loaded it took them less than two hours to load all the furniture in the house and get on the road. Upon arriving at the new place they got everything out of the truck and into the new place in about an hour total, even managing to put all the furniture where it belonged in each room so we wouldn't have to deal with moving bookcases around later on. As I said before, while they estimated that the move would take eight hours, they were done in around five hours, saving us a ton of money.
