A Couple of Young Men

[HotRodBoy]

We will be moving to the Village of Pine Hills the first of November. We have bought most if not all of our new furniture in N.C. this past Feb. so that will be delivered whenever. I'm driving down from Michigan with a 15ft U-haul (and a car trailer) with boxes and "misc small stuff." I could definitely unload this myself, but if there were a couple "kids" around that I could help out and wanted to make some "flash cash" I would welcome that.

Any leads? :popcorn:

Some of the local Self Storage places might keep a name or two of loaders/unloaders.

[davem4616]

there are no 'kids' down here...this is a retirement community

I'd suggest that you hire a couple of guys by the hour from one of the local moving companies (Village Movers is one)....you may pay a few dollars an hour more, but I think you'd be happier...and if something happens they're insured

just my opinion

[HotRodBoy]

Thanks for the replies. I just thought someone may know a couple young kids in need that could use some cash ($50ea) for less than an hour of work.

No biggie, I'll just do it myself and go out for dinner and cocktails afterwards. Although, that cash may not cover it..... :1rotfl:

High school kids? Maybe contacting the principal, who maybe could post the job?

[GrnThumb]

Call Jeff and his brother at Furniture Helpers
813-244-1756
Usual charge is $50 for small moves

[vintageogauge]

Insurance is the key word here, kids or adults. Either one of them falling off your U-haul by accident or intentional could end up costing you a lot more than $50.00. Call The Village Mover or one of the others mentioned.

You will need to stop at a weigh station and they will then report new purchases to tax Dept and you will get a bill. I was billed when I ordered and shipped all new furniture from tax free advertised store

[jrzeis@tampabay.rr.com]

Not related you, but with the huge cost of shipping furniture from there to here sometimes it makes more sense to just junk what you have and buy new furniture unless you have high or antique furniture. I would be careful about hiring day labor because of liability issues and because they won't give a cr*p about being careful with your stuff.

[zendog3]

I had that problem once. I drove around and found some men working on a house or yard. I asked them if they wanted to make a few bucks after work. No problem. They came. Worked for 20 minutes and went away with $20 each.

What a sad world we live .

We give someone a helping hand and right away we need to protect ourselves from
law suites.

Stop the world, I want to get off.......:(

You will need to stop at a weigh station

You don't need to stop at weigh stations when driving a Uhaul van filled with household goods / personal property--this is not considered a commercial move.

[DaleDivine]

I don't think that applies here. OP has ordered furniture and will be shipped by N.C. furniture outlet. UHaul trailers DO NOT have to stop at weigh stations...

OP bought most if not all of their new furniture in N.C. this past Feb. so that will be delivered whenever.
OP IS NOT shipping their furniture. BOUGHT NEW in North Carolina.

I understand your looking for doing it on the cheap! Remember to tip
At restaurants... it's 2021 now and Servers are also trying to make ends meet! Welcome to the Friendliest Village on earth

[ithos]

If you go on UHaul to rent a truck, they will provide a list of movers that can help you unload furniture. They have reviews and ratings as well. The rates vary but they start off at reasonable prices.

You don't have to go through with the rental to get their information.

Uhaul has a moving help web page to unload/load trucks. You don’t have to rent a truck to use the service. I have used it several times. Check it out!

No kids are one of the perks living here!

[HotRodBoy]

Ok, thanks all. Let's end this post.

All I was trying to do was help out a couple kids by teaching them that one must work to earn money by having them unload some boxes (NO furniture).

See you when I get there! :MOJE_whot:

Just an FYI - when we moved from OH to FL, you are to stop at the border even in a UHaul/Penske rental. We only had household goods (boxes, small storage container etc.) My husband passed the station and they came after us, stopped us & searched the truck. They are primarily looking for plants etc. They were very nice in their explanation (& my husband was a retired police officer). The guy was also very apologetic for stopping him.:)

[TheVillageBlacksmith]

I could help you out with this project.

[thelegges]

Have you looked at your tax bill? Those taxes for schools are for the crypt keepers.

OP the high school is just around the corner. We have used couple of high school kids to do small things for us. Always polite, and appreciate the cash.

We used a Penske and they never stopped us. I've seen them going by lots of times.
Maybe you looked like drug runners...:1rotfl: Just kidding... Maybe spot checking???

:pray::pray:

You definitely should watch Village Newcomers, you could learn a lot. They've been here about two years and every week they have a new video on youtube. If I saw a couple of young men walking around my villa street and they weren't cutting grass, I would call community watch.

Here's Jerry & Linda from Sept 23, they have probably a couple of hundred more on youtube. They live near you, I believe they're off Hillsborough. This one is about carting.

Trying to find a place to keep your hotrods will be your biggest problem. moving help, not so much.

Worked well for us.

[CoachKandSportsguy]

Just an FYI - when we moved from OH to FL, you are to stop at the border even in a UHaul/Penske rental.

You must have come through during the day. . . We have moved furniture down twice in a UHaul and never once stopped or was pulled over, of course is always after 11 PM when we come through or on Sunday in 2019, . . We were directed to stop over for COVID in 2020, but no trailer.

I wouldn't stop unless I was told to pull over. . they don't know if your furniture is used or purchased, as a non commercial driver.

YMMV,

Carting With Jerry and Linda - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aiwxQL3BIw)a law that made it illegal for non residents to walk around our community , especially when there taxes help to pay for much of the inter structure

[John_W]

Excuse me but when did it become a law that made it illegal for non residents to walk around our community , especially when there taxes help to pay for much of the inter structure

Nobody said anything about a law, that's why I said I would call community watch and not the police if I saw strangers on our courtyard villa street and they weren't landscapers. You ever hear the phrase, see something, say something. That's why they're called 'Community Watch'. They can come and park on the street until the strangers leave, very simple.

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

Again your going to call community watch every time you see someone you don’t know walking on your street hmmmm

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

FYI I just got an email from Va opening up for shots just walk-in at Gainesville and while preferred appointment at VA clinic here they will take walk ins Pfizer is the only one they have approved for Again Pfizer booster

I wouldn't hire just anyone... ck with who your neighbors are, some may have kids visiting or if they know of friends who have kids down looking for some easy $ for a couple of hours.. you need to get the exact date so they can work with you... then ask if they are interested in making some $ just to help unload... (for Xmass $) I bet some will be visiting and its a win win... (the parents/grandparents would LOVE to keep them busy) and great way to get to know your neighbors. OR when you GET the exact date... POST on this site...looking for some help unloading truck for a couple of hours... easy $. leave info and contact.... you'll get replies. Its more around the DATE.

[Nucky]

You couldn't be more correct if you tried. You want someone who is insured. Can you imagine your first day staring with a lawsuit from a injury to save a couple of dollars? Village Movers is the COMPANY I use all the time. They are CHEAP, efficient and on time every time so far.

The world is what it is. vintageogauge was giving you the best advice out of all the post's.

How do you handle your neighbors visitors that may be walking on your street? In our village I see walkers and runners all the time.......last thing I would do is call Community Watch on my neighbors. BTW the the walkers & runners are all strangers to me.

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

Exactly I can’t figure it out either but unfortunately I don’t know everything

[PNaughton]

Exactly I can’t figure it out either but unfortunately I don’t know everything

Food for thought for you football gamblers out there, bring in the guys stuff and make $50.00 could cover a small bet and lunch and drinks at the local watering hole.
Better yet if you are the only one to show up, do the work of two men and make $100,00.:bigbow:

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

I haven’t made a bet for less then $250 well since many years ago when I was betting $200 lol

[John_W]

The original response was to the OP asking if there were any young men in the neighborhood that wanted to earn a few bucks. One poster said, you know this is a retirement community, we don't have young men hanging around the neighborhood.

Of course I wouldn't call community watch on my neighbors, because they're NOT strangers. It's called common sense.

Again your going to call community watch every time you see someone you don’t know walking on your street hmmmm

I guess playing dumb is a good way of proving your point. I've been educated enough with life that I don't need to know what belongs and what doesn't. That guy in his 40s standing in your street looking at a package on your neighbor's porch, he's OK, he's probably just a walker.

[Penglobal]

I apologize and truly embarrassed. When I read your title about looking for young men, I naturally read this thread as I'm also looking for young men, but apparently for a different reason. My bad. :pray:

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

The statement was very clear if I saw strangers in my villa area I would call community watch followed up with a capital letter post , haven’t I heard the saying if you see something say something , all I wanted to know is how people know the difference between young or old visitors and menacing strangers but again unfortunately I don’t know everything

Community watch CANNOT do anything with suspicious people loitering in your neighborhood, Call the police.

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

You do know o was quoting remarks someone else said he didn’t make lol

[Bogie Shooter]

Help me, what are suspicious people, in The Villages, in your opinion?

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

I guess we could call whoever if we see someone under 60, but I’m puzzled should we call the police , community watch or John Walsh and do I have to check with all my neighbors to find out if any young men are visiting and should ask for pictures so I can distinguish between visitors and maybe menacing characters and then there’s always what to do about the joggers and walkers who stroll through our neighborhoods , what do we do about them . Oh my god I’m one of those people who walks through different neighborhoods , I guess I’ll have to report myself , so you can see it’s puzzling

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

Thanks for information I guess I can now call homeland security , I started out with the French in Vietnam in 1954 then on to Algeria, then over 30 years in most of the hot spots of the world both military ( Airborne)!and civilian ( I’m American)with last stop Pakistan right before 9/11 I know a little about security but I could be wrong because I don’t know everything but I’ll leave all the answers to the the answer man I’m through with this thread it was fun and oh so revealing

Excellent reply, thank you! Seems as though this post got off track, LOL

I'm not sure of too many young adult visitors at the beginning of November, but I'll give it a whirl.
