Thanks JohnN and I2ridehd,

Regarding getting local movers for hire: Have you found that they are covered with workman's comp insurance or whatever it is that covers them if they get hurt? I recently hired someone to haul away basement stuff for someone I was helping with a house sale. The big guys with the big truck had to fax me the papers first.

Prudent? Paranoid? - don't know. It's just the way I have to do business. While I don't worry so much about somebody dropping my stuff, I do worry about our liability for an on the job injury. There are some circumstances under which it is not an issue for me, but with movers, it is. I know that litigation can try to hit everybody in the lineup, but I just like to build in a little buffer zone where possible.

I think hauling the stuff to TV yourself and hiring locals to help you move it in makes good sense. I would just have to understand the liability coverage aspect. :dontknow:
