My experience is this will continue until you and your peers are about 35 years old.
After thirtyfive, you start walking your fingers thru the yellowpages looking for movers.

Haha, and YOUR always the one getting shorted on gas money!

"Nah man, couldn't have been more than $30!"

Right, and how long have you been monitoring my engine's gas consumption?

I think all of this have been there at one point. Maybe I'm the exception but every time I help someone I always get some good money or something else good out of it.

Yes ! A fiberglass bedcover ! :-)

Okay, so any of us who own one, know how quickly / easily they can be removed, if we need to move something large "for ourselves" ! ;-) .....but just make sure you get your personal moving job done quick, and get that bedcover right back on before anybody sees it like that !

>>> "Ah man..... I'd love to help you.... but it took an experienced bedcover guy two hours to put that thing on ! I'd probably never get it off, and back on again. Really sorry man....." ;-)

Mine's invisable but it weighs a ton.

Takes six men and a boy to get it off.
